BounceUK is a friendly and reliable family run business serving Southampton and Eastleigh and the surrounding area through to Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Salisbury, Ringwood and more.

The people you speak with on the phone, here at BounceUK, are the very same people that will deliver and install any event equipment that you hire from us. We ensure a consistent and conscientious service throughout, leaving you with one less thing to worry about. So have a wander around our website and be enchanted by our BounceUK inflatables.

Remember to come back regularly though, as we are always on the look out for new products designed to ensure your event is a huge success.

Party Planning Ideas 

It’s always stressful planning a party, where to go and what to do! The added hassle of transport, local pubs, and clubs jammed packed with strangers struggling to buy drinks from the bar. More and more individuals are opting to hold an event at home so why not host your own party. This could be to celebrate a wedding, moving in a new house, summer barbecue, birthday, anniversary, New Year, team building or office party. BounceUK can provide you with an inexpensive way to add glamour and space to your event by hiring from our range of Marquees to suit all budgets and occasions starting from just £40

Be the host! everyone will be talking about the event for years to come. There is nothing better than inviting friends, family or work colleagues round for food and drink and catching up on all the gossip, planning future holidays and excursions etc….

Our Marquees will provide the extra room you require for your unspoilt event, so you don’t have to worry about the unpredictable English weather “get covered with a BounceUK Marquee”. Your guests will assume you have spent a fortune and made extensive efforts just for them, but really you wont have to spend that much as BounceUK have a great hire price offer for you!

This will open doors for more gatherings as your guests will be asking for a rerun event as they enjoyed your hospitality so much. Moreover you will have a Marquee available for any event that may occur in the near future. You could even hire the marquee to friends, family and business associates so they can benefit from your inventive party planning ideas

10 Great Party Planning Ideas:
1. Have a relaxing weekend and hire a Hot Tub, invite a few friends for drinks and snacks.  We can even arrange for a masseuse to pamper your bodies. 
2. Send invitations out giving your event that special personal touch of class, and mention bring a bottle. 
3. Fancy dress parties are great fun, you can also theme the event i.e. Gangster and Moll, Horror, Super Hero’s, TV Characters, Cartoon, Sci-Fi etc… 
4. Karaoke competition. Everybody thinks they can sing after a few jars! You could even make this a chance to dress up as your favourite artist, just like stars in there eyes. 
5. Murder mystery is also great fun, these are inexpensive and can be purchased online. 
6. James Bond casino night always popular, guys get suited and booted, girl's classy evening dress. 
7. Charity nights are great way to raise funds for a good cause. 
8. Race nights, everyone likes a little flutter and very easy to organise. 
9. Pop quiz, general knowledge quiz for prizes, make teams, girls against the boys or couples against couples.
10. 60’s disco with pie & peas supper.

 
If your party and guest list is huge and you are already planning a party then why not have a whip round to pay towards the hire of a marquee. 

 

What do I need? (To use an Inflatable)

All inflatable's need a clear level grass space. This space needs to be level and free from any sharp objects. The space needs to be the size of the castle plus an extra 2 foot all around to allow for staking down and clearance of the walls when children are bouncing and to allow for the fan at the back and children to enter and exit safely. This total space needs to be clear of any overhanging objects such as trees, plants, washing lines, etc.  At ground level the area needed to be flat and level need only be the same as the inflatables size.

We need an appropriate access point to the site the castle is going to be erected at. The bigger castles are large even when rolled up and will not go through small alleyways/gates, please advise of passageways narrower than a standard doorway (2’ 6” or 750mm).

Please make sure you have the space for the castle/inflatable you book. Safe dimensions are shown on the Product details pages(These are being adjusted at the moment to improve clarity, so please contact us to clarify if you are unsure).

What do I need? (To use a Marquee)

All Marquee's need a clear level space.  The space needs to be the size of the Marquee plus an extra 1 foot either side to allow for staking down. This total space needs to be clear of any overhanging objects such as trees, plants, washing lines, etc.

We also need an appropriate access point to the site the castle is going to be erected at.  These are far less stringent than for an inflatable.

Please make sure you have the space for the marquee you book. Safe dimensions are shown on the Product details pages.

This ensures you know how to safely supervise the operation of the unit whilst in your care.

Marquees are less likely to create a situation that will cause injury, be aware of the structure and securing devices (ropes, pegs, sandbags) and take necessary precautions when having responsibility for the young, infirm and less abled.

CUSTOMER SAFETY NOTICE:

Do not be fooled by cheap imported bouncy castles that are currently on the market. These are toys and not at all suitable for hiring or long term use. Before you hire (or purchase) any inflatable you must always ask if they carry a UK HSE (Health and Safety Executive) compliant Safety Certificate. You will find your insurance to be invalid if you try to hire out units not coverered by the Health and Safety recommendations in this country.  Don’t be surprised if you are having to buy again after investing in these cheap toy inflatables, and discovering that they aren't of the robust commercial standard we provide.

All BounceUK inflatables are provided with a UK HSE (Health and Safety Executive) compliant Safety Certificate.

Inflatables Terms and Conditions of Hire

On delivery we require a signature for acceptance of the following terms.

 

It is the responsibility of the hirer to ensure that all possible steps are taken to avoid injury or damage to the inflatable. Please ensure that the following safety instructions are followed:

  1. This unit has an age limit of __ years old; no one taller than the equipment’s walls is to use it. Please ensure no one over this age or height uses the equipment.
  2. No food or drinks to be consumed on the inflatable. (To avoid choking & mess).
  3. All shoes, badges, jewellery, (i.e. large earrings, necklaces etc.) MUST be removed. It is recommended that spectacles be also removed.
  4. No face-paints, party-poppers, coloured streamers or "silly string" must be used near or on the inflatable, as they can make a terrible mess and permanently stain the unit.
  5. No smoking near the inflatable.
  6. Climbing, hanging, or sitting on the walls is DANGEROUS and must not be allowed.
  7. A responsible adult must supervise the INFLATABLE at all times.
  8. Ensure that the inflatable is not overcrowded, and limit the numbers depending on age and size of children using it. If the children are colliding into each other then it is too crowded.
  9. Try to avoid large children and small children from using the inflatable at the same time. Some children require strict supervision.
  10. If the inflatable is not being used for any part of the day, please switch the blower off at the mains, this will reduce your electric bill!
  11. Do not allow anyone to bounce on the step/front apron. The step is there to help users get on and off.
  12. Ensure that no one with a history of back or neck problems are allowed on the inflatable.
  13. Do not allow users to be on the unit during inflation or deflation.
  14. In the event of heavy rain, it is strongly recommended that the inflatable be switched off. Any wetness, including bubbling can be dried with a towel. A small picnic table placed over the blower will help prevent rainwater being sucked into the blower, and then into the inflatable.
  15. The blower at the back has an internal automatic safety-reset button. In the event that it overheats, or loses power, switch the blower off at the mains, and then switch it back on again 1 or 2 minutes later, and it should restart. If it does not, or there is a power cut, inform us IMMEDIATELY.
  16. Ensure that the vent on the side of the blower is kept clear at all times.
  17. If you are unsure about anything, please contact us.

DISCLAIMER. The person/organization hiring the equipment will be responsible/liable for any damage or injury occurring from or as a result of misuse or reckless use.
These guidelines are for the safety of all people using this equipment, and it is the sole responsibility of the hirer to ensure they are adhered to. Provided that the equipment is used in accordance with the above guidelines and conditions of hire, those using the inflatable should do so safely. However, accidents can happen. BounceUK can accept no liability for injuries sustained or any other loss, howsoever caused, in the absence of the negligence of BounceUK or its employees. As the equipment will be in the hirer’s possession and control whilst in use rather than BounceUK, any liability for injuries or other losses caused other than in the circumstances described above rests with the hirer. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that the hirer has adequate public liability insurance covering his or her liability arising from the use of the inflatable.

I hereby agree to abide by the terms and conditions listed above.
