A Complete Soft Play Experience
Portable Soft Play Centre Hire Nottingham & East Midlands
Bring the excitement of a soft play centre directly to your party or event
with our modular Portable Soft Play Centre. Designed for children up to 7,
it combines eight play pods and a slide to create a much bigger soft play
experience than a traditional setup.
Portable Soft Play Centre Hire in Nottingham
Our Portable Soft Play Centre is a modular system made up of 9
sections: 8 play pods and 1 slide. The sections
can be arranged in different ways to suit your venue, available space and
number of children.
We have 7 standard layouts, and the modular design gives
us flexibility to create alternative layouts where suitable.
Make the setup even bigger by combining the centre with one of our
Soft Play Packages,
ball pools or other entertainment for younger children.
Why Choose Our Portable Soft Play Centre?
A larger, more immersive soft play option for younger children's parties and events.
8 Play Pods
Eight separate play sections give children different areas to explore as they move around the setup.
Integrated Slide
A dedicated slide section adds another activity and creates a real soft play centre experience.
Modular Design
The sections can be arranged in different configurations to work with different venues and spaces.
7 Standard Layouts
Choose from seven established layouts depending on the space available and the type of event.
Customisable Setup
Where suitable, we can alter the arrangement to suit your available space, budget and number of children.
Choose a Layout to Suit Your Space
Unlike a fixed soft play structure, the Portable Soft Play Centre is made
from individual modular sections, so the layout can be adapted rather than
every booking needing exactly the same footprint.
Each of our seven standard layouts has its own dimensions and setup
requirements. Select a layout further down the page to see its exact size
and suitability.
If none of the standard layouts works for your venue,
contact us
with the available space and we'll see whether an alternative
configuration will fit.
Toddler & Younger Children's Parties
The Portable Soft Play Centre is designed for children up to 7 years old, making it ideal for toddler parties, first birthdays, younger children's birthdays and mixed-age family celebrations.
For more party ideas, explore our Children's Party Hire.
Christenings, Nurseries & Events
The centre also works well for christenings, nursery events, baby and toddler sessions, Christmas events and other occasions where younger children need their own activity area.
It can be combined with traditional soft play to create different zones for younger guests.
How Many Children Can Use the Soft Play Centre?
As a rough guide, the full-size Soft Play Centre holds approximately
15 children at one time, based on about two children per
play pod and one child using the slide or entrance at a time.
Exact capacity varies with the layout and the ages and sizes of the
children. Always follow the suitability and user information shown on the
layout you book.
Indoor Soft Play Centre Hire
The Portable Soft Play Centre is ideal for halls, community centres, function rooms and larger indoor venues, all year round.
Because the centre has several sections, check both the floor space and the access route before choosing your layout. Still need a venue? Browse our party venues and village halls.
Outdoor Soft Play Centre Hire
The Soft Play Centre can be used outdoors in dry weather. If rain is forecast, a marquee must be added to cover it, at an extra cost.
Check each layout for its exact dimensions, operating area, permitted surface and other setup requirements before booking.
Soft Play Centre Delivery & Collection Times
Garden bookings use our standard delivery routes, while hall and venue bookings are arranged around your access times.
Garden Hires
Standard garden deliveries are between 08:00 and 12:00, with collections between 16:00 and 18:00. Exact times are confirmed once our routes are planned.
Later collections are available up to 21:00: £15 for the first hour after 18:00, then £10 per hour. Overnight hire is £45 for secure gardens with 6ft fencing or hedges, a lockable gate and someone on site.
Hall & Venue Hires
Give us your venue access start and end times as well as your party start and finish times. The Soft Play Centre takes longer to set up than a smaller soft play package, so make sure your access period allows enough time.

Venue Access Start: 09:00
Party Start: 10:00
Party End: 12:00
Venue Access End: 13:00
