Bouncy castle hire with DB Entertainment starts from £199 for a 12x15ft children’s A-frame, delivered, set up and collected anywhere in South Yorkshire, with nationwide delivery for bigger multi-item bookings. Almost everything we hire out is ours - 95% of the fleet, kept and maintained at our own Rotherham depot, 25,000 sq ft of it - and every booking carries £5m of public liability cover.
Which castle fits your party
The children’s castles are built and rated for kids only, so grown-ups stay on the grass. Our most popular one is a 12x15ft A-frame in purple, green and red, built by Airquee, Europe’s largest inflatable manufacturer, with a built-in front step and a shower cover over the bouncing bed so light rain does not stop the party. Up to seven children bounce at once at 1m tall or under, five up to 1.2m and four up to 1.5m - the taller the bouncers, the fewer on the bed.
Themed castles cover the usual party requests: jungle and princess combos with a slide built in, plus castle and disco dome designs where the music plays through the inflatable itself. If the bouncing includes the adults, the adult bouncy castles range is the one to book: the 15x18ft large castles take around nine small children or a mix of ages, and the 25x25ft Medieval Giant gives a whole family event a single centrepiece. For bigger gardens and school fairs, inflatable slides and disco domes pair well with a castle and spread the queue out.
What comes with the hire
The price includes the whole round trip - our own crew delivers, pegs it down and comes back to collect - along with the blower, anchor pegs or a bolt-down kit for hard standing, and extra mats. The blower runs off one normal 13A socket, so no generator is needed for a garden or a village hall. One adult (18+) has to supervise the castle while it is up; if nobody in your group can cover that, we can supply a trained attendant - just ask when you book.
This page first went up in June 2020, mid-lockdown, when garden bookings carried the year. Demand has not dropped back since: the warehouse keeps growing, new castles and slides are added most seasons, and the same core castles have stayed in the fleet because they hold up. One reason people come back is the state the kit turns up in: “Hired a bouncy castle from DB Entertainment for my daughter’s birthday.. it was delivered promptly at 8am by a very friendly, helpful and informative guy.. the castle was spotless and in perfect condition. We hired the castle until the next morning when it was collected by 8.30am,” Jackie Hague told us. Another parent, Carlie Somerset, said the disco bounce “was very clean, and kids loved that they could play their music.”
Space, surfaces and testing
A 12x15ft castle needs a flat area of roughly 18ft x 15ft with 12ft of headroom, so measure the garden before you book - low branches and washing lines count. Outdoors the castles peg into grass; we cannot site them outside on concrete, wood chip or a mixed grass-and-hard surface, though indoors they work on hall floors or artificial grass where the ceiling height allows. Every inflatable in the fleet is PIPA tested annually by an independent inspector, each item carries its own serial number and service history, and the risk assessment reaches you - or your venue, if that is who needs it - before the event.
What it costs
Most children’s bouncy castles sit in the £149 to £395 band depending on size, theme and whether you add a slide, and the 12x15ft A-frame starts from £199. Adult-sized castles and the Medieval Giant sit higher. Overnight hire is often available, and regular delivery runs cover South Yorkshire and the East Midlands daily.
