Christmas Party Hire in Gloucester and Cheltenham for 2026
November is here, which means Christmas party planning is well underway for families, schools and community groups in Gloucestershire. If you're organising a festive party this year, now is a good time to book your inflatables, as December weekends fill up quickly. Here's a look at what we have available for Christmas 2026 and how to make the most of your booking.
Book Early for December Weekends
The two weekends before Christmas are our busiest of the winter, with school fairs, nursery parties, Brownie and Cub celebrations and family gatherings all competing for the same dates. Booking in November gives you the widest choice of castles and time slots. There's no deposit to pay, so securing your date early doesn't cost anything up front.
The days between Christmas and New Year are also popular for family get-togethers in village halls, especially when cousins are visiting and everyone needs something to do.
Our Christmas Bouncy Castle
The Christmas Bouncy Castle 15 x 11ft is our festive favourite. Its seasonal artwork turns a hall into a Christmas party venue the moment it's inflated, and its 15 x 11ft footprint fits comfortably in most community centres and church halls. You'll find it alongside our other seasonal ideas on the Christmas hire page.
Indoor Party Ideas for Winter
From October to March we only hire indoors, so every Christmas party takes place in a hall, school or large room. A few of our most popular winter choices are:
If you'd like several items together, our party package deals combine a castle, soft play and extras for less than booking each one separately.
Choosing a Hall for Your Christmas Party
If you haven't booked a venue yet, our venues list shows local halls we deliver to regularly, along with the inflatables that fit inside each one. Ceiling height is the main thing to check, as front slide castles need more headroom than standard castles. If you're unsure, send us the name of the hall and we'll confirm what fits before you book.
We've also added new local pages for bouncy castle hire in Bishops Cleeve and bouncy castle hire in Quedgeley, with venue ideas for each area.
Christmas Fairs and School Events
December is a busy month for PTAs and churches. Inflatables are an easy way to keep children entertained while parents browse stalls or enjoy a mince pie. We can suggest a layout for your hall that keeps younger and older children apart and the queues moving, and we set up before your doors open.
Cleaned, Tested and Set Up for You
Every inflatable is cleaned before each hire, PIPA tested every year and covered by £5 million public liability insurance. Our team arrives before your party starts, sets up in around 10 to 15 minutes and comes back to collect at the end, so you can focus on the festivities.
