What's Included in the Price?
Every hire includes delivery to your door (or a delivery charge for areas further out, see below), full setup by our team, and collection at the end of the day. Our castles are cleaned between every hire, PIPA tested where applicable and covered by £5 million public liability insurance, so there are no hidden extras for the essentials.
Delivery Costs Around Nottingham
Delivery is free across NG1 to NG4 and NG12, which covers Nottingham city centre, Gedling, Carlton, Mapperley, West Bridgford and Cotgrave. Most other Nottingham postcodes cost from £5, and every postcode has a minimum order. Check yours on our Delivery Areas page.
Optional Extras That Change the Price
- Later collection: standard garden collections are between 4pm and 6pm. Later collections up to 9pm cost £15 for the first hour, then £10 per hour.
- Overnight hire: £45, for secure gardens.
- Steps: if we need to carry the castle up or down 5 or more steps, a small charge applies. Let us know when you book.
How to Get the Most for Your Money
- Book a package. Our party packages combine a castle with soft play and a ball pool for less than hiring them separately.
- Book early for summer weekends. Saturdays from May to September go first, so you'll have the best choice if you book a few months ahead.
- Think about a hall party in winter. Outdoor inflatables are available from 1 April to 1 October, but indoor hire runs all year round. See which castles fit your hall.
How Payment Works
A 25% non-refundable booking fee secures your date. The balance is due by 5pm on the working day before your hire (for example, the Friday for a Saturday, Sunday or Monday party).
