Rodeo Bull Hire in London
Rodeo bull hire in London from £395 plus VAT plus mileage. We deliver from Rotherham in around 3hr 15 via the M1, with one of our operators on the ride for the full three hours.
London is at the far end of our delivery footprint. We don't pretend to be a London-based supplier, but we deliver here regularly and the price is competitive once you account for what's included. The hire is £395 plus VAT for three hours, with a mileage surcharge for the London run on top. One of our trained operators stays for the full hire, and the inflatable safety bed and PA come as standard. We cover central London plus the Home Counties out to Essex, Kent, Surrey, and Hertfordshire.
Delivery to London
London is around 3 hours 15 from our Rotherham warehouse via the M1 south. It's a long delivery and a paid run, but we do it regularly. The bull is compact, fits in our standard delivery van, and the M1 is a clean motorway from end to end. We cover all the central postcodes (W, EC, WC, SW, SE, N, E, NW) plus the Greater London ring and out to Essex, Kent, Surrey, and Hertfordshire.
Rodeo Bull Hire for London Events
Most of our London-area rodeo bookings come through corporate-events organisers running multi-site events. Amazon's London-cluster fulfilment centres (LCY2 at Aveley FC in Essex, LCY3 at Dartford in Kent) have hired the bull from us in the last 12 months, along with Decathlon's Surrey Quays store (SE16) for a retail-park staff event. The pattern repeats: corporate organisers in central London choose us for the named-client list and the all-in pricing rather than the proximity.
The bull works at the typical London corporate venues with an outdoor or large-indoor footprint: ExCeL, Olympia, Tobacco Dock, and the larger hotel function rooms. For Wild West-themed events, Saloon Bar Shoot-Out paired with the bull is a strong differentiated package. Most London hire firms can do the bull, but very few have the saloon as a product, and the combination has worked well at corporate Christmas events and pub-group activations.
For organisers running multi-site UK fun-day programmes (Amazon, Decathlon, others), we're a sensible choice because we deliver to London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, and the regional sites all from the same fleet, on the same dates, with consistent staff training and the same insurance bundle.
Our Rodeo Range
The bull is the most popular product in this range. The same motorised platform runs every other rodeo attachment we carry, and they're all owned by us, so you can swap the attachment to suit the event theme.
Rodeo Bull
The classic mechanical bull sits on a motorised arm, with the inflatable safety bed underneath and a digital timer on the front. It spins, bucks, and tilts at whatever speed our operator dials in for each rider, and three hours' hire is £395 plus VAT.
Rodeo Bull Dog
The British bulldog attachment bolts onto the same machine as the bull. Most hire companies don't carry it, which makes it useful for British-themed events and pub nights, and the hire is £395 plus VAT for three hours.
Saloon Bar Shoot-Out
In our Wild West reaction game, you stand off with the bandit on the screen, draw your pistol, and the fastest time wins. It pairs well with the rodeo bull for a full Western night, and three hours' hire is £375 plus VAT.
Spider Marquee
The Spider Marquee is a 22ft by 22ft pop-up cover that fits over any of our multi-rides for rain protection on outdoor bookings. The hire is £60 plus VAT.
See the full range on our rodeo bulls and multi rides category page.
Add to Your Event
London corporate clients regularly pair the bull with AI Photo Booth (we've done this for Amazon LCY events), Saloon Shootout for Wild West evenings, climbing wall and bungee trampolines for multi-activity days, or fun food (popcorn, candy floss). For multi-site UK programmes we deliver to Birmingham, Manchester, and other regions on the same dates.
What's Included
The hire is £395 plus VAT for three hours, and that covers:
- One of our trained operators, on the ride for the full three hours
- The inflatable safety bed and the safety mats around it
- The digital timer on the front of the machine, which is what runs the leaderboard
- A PA system and microphone if you want them
- Floodlights if your event runs into the evening
- A power cable up to 50 metres
- Delivery, setup, and collection, all in our own vans
- £5 million public liability cover
- Risk assessments and method statements sent to your venue ahead of the event
- Indemnity to principal cover, so our insurance extends to your venue while our operator is running the ride
If your event is outdoors and the forecast looks bad, we hire a Spider Marquee (22ft by 22ft) for £60 plus VAT and that keeps the bull running through showers. If your venue has no mains power within reach, we have 6kVA generators in our generator range for the same £60 plus VAT.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does rodeo bull hire cost in London?
£395 plus VAT for three hours, plus a mileage surcharge for the London run from our Rotherham warehouse. The hire includes the operator, the inflatable safety bed, the digital timer, and the PA. Extra hours are £50 each up to 10pm. We invoice with payment terms for corporate clients. Get in touch for an exact London quote.
What ages can ride?
The standard rodeo bull is for ages 10 and up, with a minimum height of 1.1m. Our operator adjusts the speed for each rider, so a confident adult and a nervous 11-year-old can both ride the same bull on the same afternoon. For under-10s we have Kids Billy the Bull, a smaller version that rocks gently rather than spinning.
What space do I need?
You need a clear flat area of 16ft by 16ft (around 5m by 5m) for the inflatable bed and the bucking arm. If you want a Spider Marquee over the top for wet weather, allow 23ft circular instead. Indoors you'll need a 9ft (3m) ceiling. Access to wherever we're setting up needs to be at least 32 inches wide through any gates, doorways, or corridors.
Can the rodeo bull go indoors?
Yes, as long as the venue has a 9ft (3m) ceiling and the access route is at least 32 inches wide. Sports halls, school halls, function rooms in pubs and hotels, and the bigger conference centre breakout spaces all tend to work. Indoor flooring is fine, since the inflatable bed protects the floor underneath the machine and we put safety mats around the outside. The PA system works indoors too, and we keep the volume sensible when you ask.
What if it rains?
Indoor venues are fine in any weather. For outdoor bookings we hire the Spider Marquee, a 22ft by 22ft pop-up cover, for £60 plus VAT, and that keeps the ride running through showers. In high winds or persistent heavy rain we'll talk through alternatives with you on the day. The inflatable bed and the electrics don't mix with standing water, and that call is the operator's to make on site.
Can you deliver to multiple London or UK sites on the same dates?
Yes. We do this regularly for corporate clients running multi-site staff fun-day programmes. Amazon, Decathlon, and others have used us as a single supplier across London, Birmingham, Manchester, the East Midlands, and Edinburgh on overlapping dates. Same crew training, same insurance, one invoice across the lot. Talk to us if you're putting together a multi-location programme.
Can you do a full Wild West theme?
Yes. Pair the Rodeo Bull with our Saloon Bar Shoot-Out reaction game and you've got the two main activities for a Western night. Most hire companies offer the bull and a handful of props like hay bales and hats, but we're one of the few that has the saloon shoot-out as an actual product, with the swing doors and the digital reaction display. Many venues bring their own cowboy hats and bandanas to round it out.
