When you’re organising a party, school fun day, community event, or winter celebration, having the right information makes all the difference. At Cookes Castles, we’ve always believed that hiring an inflatable should feel simple, stress-free, and fully supported. That’s why we’ve built an ever-growing library of helpful guides covering everything from choosing the right bouncy castle to handling last-minute weather changes.
Whether you’re a parent planning a birthday party or a council organising a public event, our expertise is here to make things smoother.
Expert Advice You Can Trust
Over the years, we've worked with families, schools, businesses, and local councils across East Sussex. We’ve learned what people really need to know — not the complicated stuff, just the practical advice that helps you feel confident.
Our guides are written to answer the questions we get asked every day, such as:
-
“Which bouncy castle suits my theme?”
-
“Can we still run the party if it rains?”
-
“What happens if the wind picks up?”
-
“What are the best indoor venues nearby?”
-
“How do we keep children entertained during the winter?”
Each guide is designed to help you make the right decision quickly and easily.
