Halloween Party Hire in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Gloucestershire
October has arrived, which means Halloween parties, school discos, half-term activities and spooky celebrations are starting to appear in diaries throughout Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cirencester and the wider Gloucestershire area.
If you're planning something for the little monsters this Halloween, King of the Castles Gloucester has plenty to keep them busy. Our range includes bouncy castles, bounce and slide combos, disco domes, soft play, ball pools, Didi Cars and party extras for events large and small.
And because our outdoor inflatable season finishes in October, this is the time of year when village halls, community centres, school halls and other indoor venues really come into their own.
Put Some Bounce Into Your Halloween Party
You don't need an enormous Halloween event to justify hiring an inflatable. A local hall, a group of excited children and one carefully chosen bouncy castle can be enough for a brilliant October party.
Start with our children's bouncy castles if you're organising a birthday or Halloween party for younger children. There are different designs and sizes available, so you can choose something appropriate for the ages attending and the space available at your venue.
Want something with a little more going on? bounce and slide combos give children both a bouncing area and slide in the same inflatable.
Just remember that indoor dimensions matter. Before booking, check the hall's floor space and ceiling height, including any low beams, lights, stages or other fittings.
Turn Down the Lights and Start the Halloween Disco
Halloween and discos have always made a good pair. Add costumes, music and a room full of children who have consumed considerably more sweets than usual and you've got the ingredients for a lively evening.
Our disco domes combine bouncing with music and lighting, making them worth considering for Halloween discos and indoor parties where suitable space is available.
You can build the rest of the event around it with fancy dress competitions, Halloween games, dancing and suitably gruesome party food.
Skeleton dance-off, anyone?
Something for the Littlest Pumpkins
Halloween isn't only for older children charging around dressed as zombies.
For toddler parties, soft play can create a play area aimed at younger guests. Add one of our ball pools and you've got an activity that doesn't depend on little legs being big enough for a larger inflatable.
This can also work well at family Halloween events. Older children can have their own activities while toddlers get a separate area more appropriate for their age.
Didi Cars for Little Witches and Wizards on the Move
If you've got enough suitable floor space, Didi Cars provide something completely different from bouncing and soft play.
They're particularly useful when you're putting together several activity stations inside a larger hall. Children can move from one activity to another instead of everyone queuing for the same inflatable.
Add Halloween decorations around the room and you've got your own miniature haunted racetrack. Costumes with long trailing fabric may need to stay off the track, though. Nobody wants Dracula's cape wrapped around a wheel.
Planning a Halloween Event at School?
October is already a busy month for schools and PTAs. Halloween discos, autumn fundraisers and half-term treats all provide opportunities to add children's entertainment.
A school hall can be divided into different sections, with an inflatable in one area and games, food or quieter activities elsewhere. For a bigger event, several activities can be used in rotation so different groups of pupils get a turn.
garden games can also be incorporated into suitable events, while our wider inflatable range gives you options for different ages and group sizes.
Halloween Birthdays Get the Best of Both Worlds
Having an October birthday means you've already got a theme waiting for you.
Ask everyone to arrive in fancy dress, decorate the hall with cobwebs and pumpkins, put together a suitably creepy playlist and add one of our themed bouncy castles or another inflatable as the main activity.
It doesn't all have to be ghosts and monsters either. If the birthday child would rather have dinosaurs, superheroes, princesses or unicorns, take a look at Dinosaur Bouncy Castles, Superhero Bouncy Castles, Princess Bouncy Castles and Unicorn Bouncy Castles.
It's their birthday. The inflatable doesn't have to match the pumpkins.
Make a Full Halloween Party Package
If one activity isn't enough, our party packages can help you put more into the booking.
This is particularly useful for longer events or larger guest lists. Rather than expecting one inflatable to occupy everyone for several hours, you can give children different things to try.
You could combine a bouncy castle with soft play for younger guests, add games for a bit of friendly competition or create separate areas for different age groups.
Find an Indoor Venue for Your October Party
Gloucestershire has plenty of village halls, community centres, sports halls and other venues that can be considered for children's parties. We've delivered to numerous local venues and have individual venue guides on our website to help parents and event organisers look at their options.
We regularly provide party equipment in Gloucester and Cheltenham, as well as Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cirencester, Stonehouse, Tetbury and surrounding Gloucestershire towns and villages.
If you're booking a hall specifically because you want an inflatable, check with the venue that inflatables are permitted and confirm the usable dimensions before paying for your entertainment.
October Marks the Change to Indoor Inflatable Hire
As autumn weather takes hold, our inflatable hire moves indoors. We don't provide outdoor inflatable hires from October through to March, but that certainly doesn't mean the bouncing has to stop.
Indoor parties continue throughout autumn and winter, and a hall has one major advantage for Halloween: you don't need to spend the week anxiously checking whether rain is going to spoil your plans.
It also means costumes, decorations, food and entertainment can all be kept together inside.
Clean Equipment, Proper Setup and £5 Million Insurance
Halloween might be the season for scares, but inflatable setup shouldn't provide any.
Our equipment is cleaned between hires, inflatables are tested in accordance with applicable PIPA requirements and electrical equipment is PAT tested where required. We also carry £5 million public liability insurance.
Our team delivers and installs your booked equipment, completes the relevant checks and returns for collection afterwards.
