Our Anti-No-Show Promise
A common complaint in the Reading hire market is a booking that simply does not turn up, with no contact the night before. We commit to the opposite as policy:
- You get a named contact for your booking, not a call centre
- We ring you the day before delivery to confirm your booking
- Your delivery window is agreed on that call and held to
Safety is part of the same promise. Full guidance on wind rules and supervision is on our bouncy castle safety guide.
What to Check Before You Book
A few things decide whether a castle fits your event, and it is worth checking these before you enquire:
Garden or hall size. Space needed is more than the castle footprint alone, since you need clearance on each side and above. See our guide on whether a bouncy castle will fit your garden for the numbers.
Surface. Grass is the standard surface for garden setups. Hard standing such as concrete or a hall floor needs a different anchoring method. Tell us your surface type when you enquire.
Access width. Our team needs at least 80cm of clear access from the road or driveway to your setup spot, through any side gate or passage.
Power. The blower needs a standard power socket within 30 metres of the setup spot. If you do not have outdoor power, tell us and we will talk through the options.
Questions People Ask Before Booking
How much does a bouncy castle cost to hire in Reading?
Bouncy castle hire in Reading with My Party Hire runs from £110 a day for a standard castle up to £170 a day for an adult-capable castle, delivered. Delivery is free across RG1 to RG6.
How much is the deposit and is it refundable?
The deposit is £20. It is refunded in full within 3 working days if we cancel your booking for weather. Full cancellation terms are on our prices page.
What happens if it rains on the day of my party?
We will cancel and refund your £20 deposit in full within 3 working days if weather makes the castle unsafe to run. See our rain policy guide for the full rule.
What size garden do I need?
You need more space than the castle footprint alone, to allow clearance on every side and above. Our garden fit guide sets out the exact numbers for each castle class.
Does a bouncy castle need adult supervision?
Yes. A bouncy castle should be supervised by an adult at all times it is in use, including during setup checks and between groups of children. This is standard safety practice for inflatable equipment, covered in full on our safety guide.

We deliver free across RG1 to RG6, with a £10 fee for RG7, RG10, RG30, and RG31, and a £15 fee for the rest of Berkshire. Tell us your postcode and we will confirm your exact delivered total.
