What Affects the Price?

Size of Inflatable

Smaller units (30-person capacity) start lower. Large-format inflatables for 80–120 guests cost significantly more due to equipment and logistics.

Duration

Standard hire is 3–5 hours. Extended evening or all-day hires are available at a reduced hourly rate. Overnight events are quoted bespoke.

Add-Ons

LED furniture, pop-up bars, DJs, smoke machines, and themed lighting all add to the base price. Bundling saves 10–20% vs booking separately.

Location & Access

Easy-access venues with power nearby keep costs down. Remote locations, stairs, or long carry distances may incur a small logistics fee.

Day & Season

Summer weekends (June–September) and December are peak pricing. Midweek and off-season bookings offer the best value.
