5. What areas do you cover for bouncy castle hire?
We provide bouncy castle hire across the Fylde Coast, including Blackpool, Lytham St Annes, Poulton-le-Fylde, Fleetwood, and surrounding areas. Contact us if you’re unsure whether we deliver to your postcode.
6. What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?
If the weather is poor (e.g., heavy rain or strong winds), we offer a free cancellation or reschedule policy. Safety is our top priority, and we won’t install inflatables in unsafe weather conditions. Light rain or sporadic showers are suitable providing you regularly wipe the front step so the children don't slip, the warm air blowing through the seams of the castle also helps to dry a castle. The majority of our castles include a roof which keeps most of the rain off.

When booking indoor halls please let us know what time you have access to the hall and what time you need to be out for so we can plan our itinerary around your booking and so we aren't collecting when there is another party booked in straight after yours.
