School Hire FAQs
Our school hire service is one of the most popular parts of what we do at Bouncetastic. We work with schools, colleges, and community groups across
Liverpool and
Merseyside, providing safe, exciting inflatables and equipment for all kinds of events. Here are some of the most common questions we’re asked about our School Hire options.
Do you provide inflatables for all school events?
Yes, absolutely. We supply inflatables for sports days, end-of-term rewards, fun fairs, summer fetes, leavers’ parties, and fundraising events. Whether it’s a large outdoor space or an indoor sports hall, we can recommend the best inflatables from our wide range to suit your setting and age group.
What types of inflatables are most popular for schools?
Schools love the mix of activity and fun that our Assault Courses and Obstacle Courses provide. The
Compact Assault Course
is a particular favourite for active pupils. We also offer traditional Bouncy Castles, themed inflatables such as Superhero Bouncy Castles and Princess Bouncy Castles, and large-scale attractions like our Inflatable Slides and Disco Domes. This variety means schools can easily cater to different age groups and energy levels.
Are the inflatables safe for school use?
Safety is always our top priority. Every inflatable we supply is fully tested, cleaned, and inspected before each hire. All of our equipment meets recognised UK safety standards and comes with full insurance cover. We’ll also guide you on safe usage, age limits, and supervision to make sure your pupils enjoy a fun and secure experience.
Do you handle delivery and setup at the school?
Yes. Our professional team delivers, sets up, and secures all inflatables for you, ensuring they’re safe and ready to use before the first bounce. We coordinate timings around the school’s schedule, whether it’s a morning setup for a sports day or a full-day hire for a summer fair. Once the event is finished, we return promptly to take everything down safely and efficiently.
Can inflatables be used indoors?
Definitely. We offer Indoor & Winter Hires for schools that prefer indoor events or need to avoid unpredictable weather. We’ll measure and recommend inflatables that fit your sports hall or gym, such as Toddler Bouncy Castles for early years and smaller year groups, or Party Time Bouncy Castle for general use.
Do you offer packages for school events?
Yes, we have special packages that combine multiple inflatables at discounted rates. Many schools choose deals like our Huge Assault Course with The BIG Bouncer Bouncy Castle, or combine activity-based inflatables with themed castles for younger classes. Packages can be tailored to your event size and budget.
How far in advance should schools book?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for summer term and sports day events, which are our busiest times of year. Once you confirm your date, we’ll reserve the equipment and handle the rest. Advance booking ensures you get the inflatables that best match your space and event type.
Do you offer discounts for multiple-day or repeat bookings?
Yes. Many schools book us year after year, and we’re happy to offer loyalty rates and multi-day discounts for returning clients. For example, we’ve run special promotions such as “five days for the price of two” for long-term hires during the summer term. Contact us directly to discuss your school’s requirements and we’ll put together the best possible deal.
What if the weather changes on the day?
We understand that the British weather can be unpredictable! For outdoor bookings, we’ll advise on safety if high winds or rain are expected. Inflatables must not be used in unsafe conditions, but we’ll always try to rearrange where possible. Alternatively, indoor hires offer a great backup plan for schools with large halls.

Liverpool,
Knowsley,
Sefton,
Belle Vale,
Croxteth and surrounding areas throughout
Merseyside. If you’re unsure whether your school is within our delivery range, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to confirm.
