Rodeo Bull Hire in Nottingham
Rodeo bull hire in Nottingham from £395 plus VAT. We deliver from Rotherham in around 40 minutes via the M1, with one of our operators on the ride for the full three hours.
Nottingham is one of our best-performing rodeo postcodes. In the last 12 months we delivered the bull to Newark Showground for a multi-day Nottinghamshire Scouts camp, Decathlon Giltbrook for a staff event, and Amazon's EMA2 and EMA3 East Midlands fulfilment centres. The hire is £395 plus VAT for three hours, with one of our trained operators on the bull throughout and the standard kit (operator, inflatable safety bed, timer, PA) included. The drive from our warehouse is around 40 minutes.
Delivery to Nottingham
Nottingham is around 40 minutes from our Rotherham warehouse via the M1 south. It's a direct motorway run all the way to the NG postcodes: city centre, the universities, and the suburbs out towards Mansfield, Newark, and East Midlands airport.
Rodeo Bull Hire for Nottingham Events
Nottingham's rodeo bookings split across three sectors for us. Corporate first: Amazon's East Midlands fulfilment cluster (EMA2 White Post Farm, EMA3) is a regular booker for staff fun days, and Decathlon Giltbrook books the bull for retail-park staff events. Education second: the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent both run freshers and SU events that suit a rodeo. Community and scouts third: the Nottinghamshire Scouts multi-day camp at Newark Showground in May 2026 was an 11-product, £16K booking that included the rodeo bull alongside funfair rides, walking tubes, and laser quest.
The bull works outdoors at Wollaton Park, Colwick Park, and the Victoria Embankment, and indoors at Nottingham Trent's Newton Building, the city centre hotels, and most pub function rooms. White Post Farm at EMA2 has hosted Amazon staff days that included the rodeo bull. For Wild West evenings, Saloon Bar Shoot-Out paired with the bull works well at city-centre bars.
We deliver across NG1 to NG17 and out to NG22 White Post Farm, NG24 Newark Showground, and NG16 Giltbrook. For events at Newark Showground specifically, our recent multi-product booking confirms we know the loading bays, the power layout, and the staff on the gate.
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.
Rodeo Christmas Pudding
Our giant Christmas pudding attachment is the seasonal favourite for staff Christmas parties. We took this one to Doncaster Rovers FC at the Eco-Power Stadium for their festive event, and three hours' hire is £395 plus VAT.
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.
See the full range on our rodeo bulls and multi rides category page.
Add to Your Event
Nottingham corporate clients regularly pair the bull with AI Photo Booth (we did this for Amazon East Midlands), Saloon Shootout for Wild West nights, Christmas Pudding for festive corporate parties, or climbing wall and bungee trampolines for a full corporate fun day. We also cover photo booths, Batak hire, climbing walls, and arcade machines in Nottingham.
What's Included
The hire is £395 plus VAT for three hours, and that covers:

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 Nottingham?
£395 plus VAT for three hours, with everything included: the operator, the inflatable safety bed, the digital timer, the PA, and delivery from Rotherham via the M1 (around 40 minutes). Extra hours are £50 each up to 10pm. We invoice with payment terms for corporate, university, and scouts bookings.
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 I book other things with the bull?
Yes. We carry over 600 products, so we can put together most things you'd want around the bull. The most common pairings are Saloon Bar Shoot-Out for a Wild West night, AI Photo Booth for branded photos, fun food like popcorn and candy floss for the drinks queue, and generators if your venue has no mains power. For seasonal events we swap the bull attachment for the Christmas Pudding, Reindeer, or Pumpkin.
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.
