The summer term is one of the busiest and most exciting times of year for schools. From sports days and fun days to
leavers celebrations and induction events, it’s a great opportunity to reward pupils and create memorable experiences.
At Bouncetastic, we provide bouncy castle hire in Liverpool and across Merseyside,
supporting schools with reliable inflatable hire for events of all sizes — from small year group celebrations to full school fun days.
Popular school events during the summer term
We supply inflatables for a wide range of school events, including:
- Sports days – add extra activities alongside traditional races
- End-of-year fun days – reward pupils with a relaxed celebration
- Leavers parties and discos – a great way to mark the end of term
- Induction and “meet your new teacher” days – help pupils feel settled and engaged
- PTA events and summer fairs – attract families and raise funds
Inflatables provide a simple, structured activity that keeps children engaged throughout the day, helping events run more smoothly.
Best inflatables for school summer events
Choosing the right inflatables depends on your space, age groups and event type. Some of the most popular options for schools include:
For larger events, many schools choose multiple inflatables to reduce queues and keep different age groups entertained.
You can explore options in school hire or build a package using
special multi deals.
Sports days and activity events
Sports days are a key highlight of the summer term, and inflatables can add an extra layer of excitement.
Obstacle races using Assault Courses or timed challenges on
Inflatable Slides can be used alongside traditional events.
These activities work particularly well for:
- Team competitions
- House challenges
- Reward-based activities
Leavers parties and end-of-year celebrations
Leavers events are a big moment for pupils, and inflatables help create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
Options like Disco Domes are especially popular for evening events or indoor celebrations,
while Bouncy Castles and slides work well for daytime parties.
Combining inflatables with music, food and seating areas helps turn a standard hall or field into a proper event space.
Indoor and outdoor school inflatable hire
We can supply inflatables for both indoor halls and outdoor school grounds:
- Outdoor events: Ideal for larger inflatables and multiple setups
- Indoor events: Great for weather-proof planning and smaller spaces
For indoor options, take a look at indoor & winter hire to find inflatables suited to hall environments.
If your event is outdoors and power is limited, we can also provide petrol generator hire.
