Rodeo Bull Hire Sheffield
We are based in the heart of Sheffield and Rotherham, so we can offer our best rates.
A rodeo bull (you'll also hear it called a bucking bronco) is the most popular item in our Rodeo Bulls & Multi Rides range. Riders grab the horns and try to stay on while it bucks and spins, and the big digital timer on the front settles who lasted longest. Three hours with one of our trained operators on the ride throughout starts from £395 plus VAT, and that covers the inflatable safety bed, the safety matting around it, and a PA system if you want one. Full specs and prices are on the rodeo bull product page.
Being based between the two cities helps. Our warehouse is in Rotherham, ten to fifteen minutes from most of Sheffield down the A630 Parkway or M1 J33, so delivery is a short run and arrival times stay flexible. The bull sets up on grass in the parks, on the function-room floor at the pubs, and indoors at school and university halls as long as the ceiling clears 9ft - the inflatable bed looks after the floor either way. We've been supplying rodeo bulls for over 25 years and £5 million public liability insurance comes as standard on every hire. For children under ten we can bring Kids Billy the Bull along too, a gentler bronco that rocks rather than spins.
The timer is what turns it from a ride into a competition. The last time sits in big digits at the front of the machine, and our operator adjusts the speed for each rider, so an 11th birthday party and a works do get the same bull at very different settings.
“Hired a rodeo bull for a Wild West themed birthday party. Tom and Kane were excellent. Arrived in plenty of time and were really friendly.” Tracy Gavin said in a five-star Google review.
For a Wild West night the bull pairs with the Saloon Bar Shoot-Out, the draw-and-shoot reaction game from the same corner of our range. Swap the attachment for the Rodeo Bull Dog on British-themed days, and come December the same machine takes the Christmas Pudding and the Reindeer - we ran both around Sheffield last Christmas, one on an engineering firm's work do and one at a private party. Every attachment runs on the same base unit, so swapping themes means one phone call and one delivery.
The rodeo rarely travels alone. Alongside bouncy castles, assault courses, fun food and the rest of the range, we can kit out the whole event from the same warehouse, whether it's a birthday party, a school summer fair or a corporate fun day.
For multi-activity days the bull shares the van with Batak hire, photo booths, arcade machines and the mobile climbing wall.
Last year 19 of our rodeo bookings were in Sheffield, more than any other town or city we cover. They ranged from community fun days on Norfolk Heritage Park for the Manor & Castle Development Trust to a two-day student sports event at Goodwin Sports Centre and Holy Family School's end-of-term celebration. The rest of the list is mostly pub nights and garden parties.

Our rodeo range
The bull is the one people book first. The rest of the rodeo range sits on the same base unit, so you can switch themes without switching supplier.

Rodeo Bull Dog
The British bulldog version that most hire companies don't carry, £395 plus VAT.
Rodeo Sheep
It's the same staffed ride with a woollier mount, £395 plus VAT.
Rodeo bull questions
How many people get a go in three hours?
A busy do gets through 40 to 60 riders in the standard three hours. Each ride runs 30 to 60 seconds before the operator tips the rider off, and the timer keeps the leaderboard running the whole time. If you've got a bigger crowd, extra hours are £50 each up to 10pm.
Can adults and children share the same bull?
Age ten and over and 1.1m tall is the line on the main bull, and the operator sets the pace per rider, so a nervous first-timer and a confident regular can go back to back. Under-tens get Billy the Bull, the kids' version, instead.
Will it fit in a pub function room or school hall?
If you've got 16ft by 16ft clear, a ceiling over 9ft and 32 inches through the doors, it fits. The inflatable bed protects the floor underneath and the safety matting goes round the outside. The usual snag is a narrow corridor or a tight turn on the stairs, so measure those as well before you book.
How far ahead should I book?
Summer weekends go first - the rodeo season peaks in August - and there's a second rush in December once the Christmas attachments come out. Outside those two, we can usually sort Sheffield dates at a couple of weeks' notice.
Rodeo bull hire beyond Sheffield
The same bull and the rest of the rodeo range go out across South Yorkshire week in, week out. We have dedicated pages for Rodeo Bull Hire in Rotherham, Rodeo Bull Hire in Barnsley, Rodeo Bull Hire in Doncaster, Rodeo Bull Hire in Leeds and Rodeo Bull Hire in Yorkshire, and we cover the rest of the UK for bigger bookings.
