About Gedling Bouncy Castle Hire

From Children's Parties to Large Events

Gedling Bouncy Castle Hire has grown from a local bouncy castle hire business into a much broader entertainment and event equipment company, while keeping the same focus on safe equipment, reliable service and making events easier for our customers.

Who We Are

Gedling Bouncy Castle Hire was established in 2014 and is owned and run by Colin and Molly. What started with inflatable hire for local parties has developed into a large and varied range of entertainment for children's parties, schools, weddings, fun days, universities, corporate events and larger organised events.

We are based in Nottingham and continue to serve customers throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire, while selected larger attractions and event entertainment are also available nationwide.

Our Story

Gedling Bouncy Castle Hire began with a simple aim: to provide good quality, reliable party equipment with a service customers could trust.

Over the years, the business has continued to grow and invest in new equipment. What began with bouncy castles now includes soft play, inflatable slides, assault courses, rodeo attractions, racing simulators, interactive games, fairground entertainment, photo experiences, climbing attractions, fun food, event infrastructure and much more.

The type of events we work on has grown too. Alongside family parties and local hall hires, our team now supports school events, large fun days, weddings, staff events, university events, exhibitions, brand activations and corporate entertainment.

Even as the range and size of events have changed, the principles behind the business have stayed the same: look after the equipment, look after the customer and deliver the booking properly.

What We Do Today

Our equipment range now allows us to support everything from a child's birthday party at home to a large multi-attraction event.

Children's Parties

Bouncy castles, soft play, ball pools, slides, garden games and party packages for birthdays at home or in local venues.

Fun Days & Schools

Large inflatables, assault courses, competitive games, fairground activities and staffed attractions for busy school and community events.

Weddings & Celebrations

Entertainment for weddings, milestone birthdays and private celebrations, from white inflatables to games, photo experiences and party extras.

Corporate Events

Interactive games, simulators, branded entertainment, inflatables and event attractions for staff events, launches, exhibitions and corporate fun days.

Universities

Social, competitive and high-throughput entertainment for Welcome Week, student events, wellbeing activities, graduations and campus events.

Larger Organised Events

Multi-item bookings, staffed attractions and event entertainment for organisers who need more than a single piece of equipment.

What Matters to Us

Growing the business has never just been about adding more equipment. The quality of the service behind it matters just as much.

Safety

Properly tested equipment, safe setup procedures and clear operating information are central to every booking.

Reliability

We plan our deliveries, preparation and staffing around making sure bookings are ready when customers need them.

Quality

Equipment is routinely maintained, cleaned and prepared so that it arrives ready for the event.

Investment

We continue to add new attractions and improve our existing range as the events we support continue to evolve.
