South Shields
What it’s like
Hires out bouncy castles and party packages for South Shields, from a straight castle-and-slide to a full disco with entertainer.
This is a bouncy castle and party hire outfit rather than a venue you visit, so the fun happens wherever you're hosting: your garden, a hall, wherever you've got the space. At the simple end there's a 12ft by 18ft castle with slide for £100, or the 3D dinosaur version for £110 if the kids want a theme to shout about. Push further and you get into disco territory: a 15ft by 16ft adult disco castle at £120, or a disco castle with slide and a character visit for £160.
The packages that'll actually take over the party are the two big ones. £250 gets you two hours of disco plus an entertainer plus the bouncy castle with slide, and the Superhero Party Package at £300 is the one to save for a birthday you want people talking about afterwards. Character visits, party games, dances and face painting all get a mention, so there's scope to build a proper afternoon rather than just plonking a castle in the garden and hoping.
They're open daily from 8am to 7pm, which gives you a decent window either side of a party for setup and collection. The catch is the booking fee: 20% to reserve, and it's non-refundable if your plans change, though you can transfer it once within a year. Worth deciding on your date properly before you pay that deposit, because there's no getting it back if the party falls through.
