Christmas Party Hire in Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Three Counties
Christmas is one of the busiest times of year for parties, and a bouncy castle or soft play area is a simple way to keep children happy while the adults catch up. From nursery Christmas parties to school fairs and office celebrations, here are our ideas for making your festive event go with a bounce, plus a few tips to help you plan.
Why Book Christmas Party Hire Early?
December weekends fill up quickly, especially the last two before Christmas. Halls, schools and workplaces often choose the same dates, so if you already know when your party is, it is worth checking availability now. Our online booking system shows which items are free on your date, and you can reserve in a few minutes.
Which Bouncy Castles Fit in a Village Hall?
Most Christmas parties happen indoors, and ceiling height is the first thing to check. Many village halls and community centres have plenty of floor space but low ceilings, beams or hanging lights. Our Low Height Bouncy Castles are built for exactly these venues.
The Low Height Party Package is a popular choice for hall parties. It pairs a low height party castle with a matching slide, and its neutral party theme works for everyone. Before you book, measure the lowest point above where the inflatable will stand, and send us the details if you are not sure.
Bring the Music With a Disco Bouncy Castle
A disco castle suits a Christmas party perfectly. The Disco Bouncy Castle 19ft x 14ft has a built-in Bluetooth speaker and a flashing disco light, so children can bounce along to their favourite Christmas songs. It is suitable for all ages and works well as the evening draws in. You can compare the rest of our Disco Bouncy Castles too.
Soft Play for Toddler Groups and Nursery Parties
For babies and toddlers, soft play is often a better fit than a large inflatable. It gives little ones a calm, padded area to climb, crawl and build, and it fits comfortably in a playgroup room or a corner of a hall. Browse our Soft Play sets and Ball Pools to find a theme your group will enjoy.
Ideas for School Christmas Fairs
School Christmas fairs need activities that keep queues moving and work in a hall or playground. Our Candy Floss Machine comes with an operator for up to two hours and ingredients for 60 servings, which makes it a popular stall. Inflatables and garden games add something for every year group. See more on our School Event Hire page.
What Works at a Work Christmas Party?
For adults, something a little different can get everyone involved. The Rodeo Bull/Bucking Bronco comes with a trained operator and a digital timer, and it is always a talking point. For a quieter option, the Interactive table top game gives colleagues a quick, friendly game between drinks. Our Corporate Event Hire page has more ideas.
Tips for an Indoor Christmas Party
- Check the ceiling height and floor space before booking
- Make sure there is a power socket near where the inflatable will go
- Keep decorations, tables and food well away from the inflatables
- Ask guests to remove shoes before bouncing
- Keep toddlers and older children apart when it is busy
If your event is outdoors, such as a Christmas market or fete, a generator may be needed when there is no mains power within 40 metres. Our Generators page explains more.
