All Our Party & Event Hire Products
Big birthday, small garden party, school fete, company fun day or an event with hundreds of visitors: this is where you can browse the full Cookes Castles hire range.
We have been providing inflatable entertainment since 1998, and our collection now covers far more than traditional bouncy castles. You can find slides, assault courses, soft play, toddler equipment, competitive games, themed inflatables, adult bouncy castles and larger attractions for organised events throughout East Sussex and surrounding areas.
If you already know what you want, browse the products below. If the choice is getting a little ridiculous, use the links on this page to narrow things down.
Hiring for a Children's Birthday?
Start with the children rather than the equipment.
For a classic birthday party, our bouncy castles include colourful and themed designs for different ages and interests. If you want more than bouncing alone, bouncy castle slide combos combine a bouncing area and slide in one inflatable.
You can also browse themed bouncy castles, including ranges such as dinosaur bouncy castles, jungle bouncy castles, unicorn bouncy castles and superhero bouncy castles.
Planning the whole birthday rather than choosing one item? Our Birthday Parties section is a useful place to begin.
Something for Babies and Toddlers
The biggest inflatable on the page is rarely the right answer for the smallest guests.
Our Toddler Play range is aimed at younger children, while Soft Play And Juggler Ball Pond gives babies and toddlers activities closer to their own scale.
You can also look at Bouncy Castle & Soft Play Packages if your party includes younger children who would benefit from several different ways to play.
For practical advice before booking, see How to Plan a Toddler Party.
Want Something Bigger Than a Standard Bouncy Castle?
Then head towards the more energetic end of the Cookes Castles range.
Inflatable Slides give children an activity they can climb and repeat, while Inflatable Assault Courses introduce obstacles, climbing sections and a clear route from one end to the other.
For larger organised events, Large Event Inflatables can help you find attractions suited to busier occasions where visibility, capacity and participant flow become particularly important.
Bring Out the Competitive Side
Not everybody wants to spend the afternoon bouncing.
Our Inflatable Games give guests something to aim at, race through or compete over, making them useful for older children, teenagers and adults as well as family events.
Sports Games takes that idea further for football-themed events, school activities, company days and anyone who insists their second attempt should not count because they "weren't ready".
These shorter competitive activities can be particularly useful when lots of people need to rotate through the entertainment during the day.
Planning a Bigger Event?
A school field, community event or festival needs a different entertainment plan from a back-garden birthday.
For these bookings, take a look at:
If you are expecting a substantial crowd, How to Entertain at Big Events also covers some of the practical decisions involved.
Indoor Party? Check the Height Before Falling in Love With an Inflatable
Village halls and function rooms can be excellent party venues, particularly when the British weather is doing what it does best.
Indoor hire does require a little more measuring.
The inflatable needs enough floor space, sufficient ceiling clearance and room around it for safe operation. Lights, beams and other overhead fittings also need to be taken into account.
Our Low Height / Indoor range is a useful starting point for hall parties, while Best Indoor Venues for Kids' Parties and Indoor vs Outdoor Party Hire can help with the wider planning.
Taking the Party Outside?
For gardens, school fields and other suitable outdoor spaces, browse Outdoor Party Hire.
Outdoor inflatables require appropriate space, reasonably level suitable ground, secure anchoring, access to power and safe weather conditions. If you are unsure what will work in the space you have available, What Size Bouncy Castle Do I Need for My Garden? is worth reading before booking.
Need Entertainment for Adults?
Bouncy castles are not exclusively children's territory.
Our Adult Bouncy Castles are designed for appropriate older users, while inflatable and sports games can give adult parties, company events and family days something more competitive.
The important part is choosing equipment designed for the people who will actually be using it rather than assuming a children's inflatable is suitable for adults.
Prefer to Book Several Activities Together?
If one attraction is not enough for the event you are planning, look through our Inflatable Packages.
Packages can be particularly useful when you want to create several activity points or provide entertainment for different ages.
There are also Party Extras & Add-Ons if the main inflatable is already sorted and you are looking for something additional.
Cookes Castles Hire Throughout East Sussex
Our family-run business has been supplying inflatable entertainment since 1998, with Cookes Castles delivering, setting up and collecting the equipment ourselves.

You can see the wider service area on our Areas page.
Clean Equipment, Proper Setup and an Experienced Team
There is more to inflatable hire than choosing the best-looking product.
Cookes Castles carries £5 million public liability insurance, and our equipment is cleaned, checked and maintained as part of our hire operation. Inflatables are appropriately inspected, including PIPA testing where applicable, while electrical equipment is PAT tested and used with RCD protection.
Most importantly, we deliver and set up the equipment ourselves. You are not expected to collect an inflatable, work out how it operates and hope you have put it up correctly.
You can read more about the business on About Us or see Insurance for further information.
Not Sure What to Choose?
You do not need to work through every product below and become an inflatable expert before contacting us.

- what kind of event you are organising;
- where it is being held;
- whether the equipment will be indoors or outdoors;
- the approximate ages of the people using it;
- how many guests you expect; and

We can then help narrow the range down to options that actually make sense for your event.
