Bouncy Castle Hire in Eastbourne, Hailsham, Uckfield & East Sussex
Cookes Castles has been bringing bouncy castles, inflatables, soft play and party entertainment to families, schools and event organisers throughout East Sussex since 1998.
What started with one bouncy castle while David Cooke was studying at college has grown into a long-established local inflatable hire business with a broad range of entertainment for children, families, schools, companies and community organisations.
Today, Cookes Castles provides everything from traditional Bouncy Castles and Bouncy Castle Slide Combos to Disco Domes, Inflatable Assault Courses, Inflatable Games, Bouncy Castle & Soft Play Packages and much more.
Whether you need one castle for a garden birthday or several attractions for a school fete, company fun day or community event, our aim is straightforward: provide reliable equipment, practical advice and a smooth hire service from delivery through to collection.
Bouncy Castle Hire for Parties of Every Shape and Size
A children's birthday in a back garden needs something very different from a school event with hundreds of pupils, which is why we have built up such a varied selection over the years.
For classic bouncing, browse Bouncy Castles. Families looking for something more visually striking can explore 3D Bouncy Castles, while our Themed Bouncy Castles include favourites such as Dinosaur Bouncy Castles, Jungle Bouncy Castles, Superhero Bouncy Castles and Unicorn Bouncy Castles.
If children want more than bouncing, Bouncy Castle Slide Combos add climbing and sliding, while Inflatable Slides provide another high-energy option for larger gardens and outdoor venues.
Something for Toddlers, Bigger Kids and Adults Too
Not every guest wants the same thing.
For toddlers and younger children, Toddler Play, Soft Play And Juggler Ball Pond and Bouncy Castle & Soft Play Packages can create a dedicated area that better suits their age and style of play.
Older children may prefer Inflatable Games, Sports Games or Inflatable Assault Courses, where racing, challenges and friendly competition become part of the entertainment.
And grown-ups do not have to stay on the sidelines either. Our Adult Bouncy Castles provide options for family celebrations, weddings, milestone birthdays and events where older users want to join in properly.
If your guest list spans several generations, Inflatable Hire for Mixed Age Groups contains practical ideas for creating different activity areas.
School Fetes, Corporate Events and Community Fun Days
Cookes Castles works at much more than private birthday parties.
We regularly provide inflatables for School Fetes & Fundraisers, Community & Council Events, Corporate Events & Company Fun Days, Charity Events, Festival Hire and Team Building Days.
At larger events, having several different attractions can help keep people moving around the site. One area might contain a castle, another an assault course, while Inflatable Games and Sports Games create shorter competitive challenges elsewhere.
For organisers planning something substantial, our Large Event Inflatables and Inflatable Packages offer more ways to build a fuller entertainment setup.
We have also created planning resources such as How Schools Can Use Inflatables for Fundraising, How to Plan a School Sports Day with Inflatables and How to Entertain at Big Events.
Indoor and Outdoor Inflatable Hire
East Sussex provides plenty of gardens, school fields and outdoor event spaces, but the British weather does not always cooperate.
During suitable conditions, our Outdoor Party Hire range can help make the most of open spaces. Garden birthdays, school summer events and community days can all work brilliantly outdoors when the weather and ground conditions allow.
For indoor celebrations, Low Height / Indoor gives customers options designed for venues where ceiling clearance needs to be considered. Halls and community venues can be particularly useful during colder months or when organisers prefer a more predictable environment.
Customers looking for somewhere suitable can explore Party Venues, while Best Indoor Venues for Kids' Parties offers further planning ideas.
If the forecast changes close to the event, What to Do If the Weather Turns on Your Party Day explains some of the options available.

Over Two Decades of Local Experience
Cookes Castles has been operating since 1998, giving us decades of experience working at family homes, schools, village halls, community venues, hotels, outdoor event grounds and many other types of location.
That experience helps with more than simply delivering the inflatable. We understand the importance of access, suitable setup space, correct venue dimensions, weather conditions, surface suitability and choosing equipment that fits the age groups attending.
You can read more about our history on About Us, see feedback from previous customers on Reviews or visit Gallery to see examples of our equipment.
Clean, Checked and Professionally Installed
Inflatable hire should be fun for the guests and straightforward for the organiser.
Our equipment is cleaned, checked and maintained before hire, and the Cookes Castles team handles delivery and installation. We carry £5 million public liability insurance, our electrical equipment is regularly PAT tested, and we take inflatable testing and maintenance seriously.
We also provide relevant usage information when the equipment is installed so customers understand how it should be supervised and operated safely throughout the hire.
