What moves the price

- Themed or premium castles — white wedding castles and branded themes are priced above standard designs
- Delivery distance — most bouncy castle firms deliver free within a radius and charge beyond it
- Indoor or outdoor — indoor halls need a castle that fits the ceiling height and floor protection
- Overnight or weekend hire — keeping the castle over two days costs more than a single day
- Weather — bouncy castles cannot be used in strong wind or heavy rain, so firms plan for cancellations

How to pay less
- Book a standard bouncy castle rather than a themed or adult castle if guests are young children
- Choose a bouncy castle firm close to home to avoid delivery charges
- Hire on a weekday or outside the school summer holidays, when demand is lower
Before you book
- Check the bouncy castle carries a PIPA tag or similar inspection record, as HSE guidance recommends
- Ask whether the hire firm holds public liability insurance
- Measure the space and check there is a power socket within reach of the blower
- Plan for an adult to supervise at all times and stop use in high wind or rain
