Terms & Conditions

Welcome to About2Bounce Inflatable Hire. These Terms & Conditions outline important safety and operational guidelines to ensure a smooth, enjoyable, and safe experience when using our bouncy castle hire services. Your safety, satisfaction, and the integrity of our equipment are our top priorities.

Please take a few moments to read the following carefully before your hire date.


🔹 Space Requirements

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the chosen inflatable fits within the intended area. Accurate dimensions are listed on each product page. If the inflatable cannot be installed due to space restrictions not previously communicated, the full hire fee will still apply.


🔹 Supervision

A responsible adult (18+) must supervise the inflatable at all times during use. Unsupervised use is strictly prohibited for safety reasons.


🔹 Venue Restrictions

We only hire to secure private gardens or enclosed venues (October-April). Unfortunately, we cannot deliver to communal or shared gardens, as our insurance policy does not extend to these areas.


🔹 Delivery Requirements

  • A designated adult must be present at delivery to sign the hire agreement and disclaimer.

  • Access to a safe and working power supply is required at the time of setup.

  • Equipment will not be left unattended, and setup cannot proceed without access to power.


🔹 Usage Guidelines

To maintain cleanliness and safety:

  • Prohibited items near or on the inflatable include: food, drinks, face paint, silly string, confetti, glitter, felt tips, biros, or any staining substances.

  • Before use, all participants must remove shoes, glasses, jewellery, badges, and any sharp objects.

  • Climbing, hanging from, or sitting on inflatable walls is strictly prohibited.

  • Heels are not permitted on safety mats; damage caused by heels will incur repair charges.


🔹 Capacity & Use

  • Avoid overcrowding the inflatable. Maximum capacity varies by unit and must be observed.

  • Mixing users of significantly different ages or sizes at the same time is not permitted for safety reasons.


🔹 Power Requirements

A mains power supply must be available within 25 metres of the setup location. We do not supply or permit the use of generators.


🔹 Cancellations & Rescheduling

  • Bookings may be cancelled without penalty up to 48 hours before the hire date.

  • Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice may be subject to a cancellation fee.

  • Rescheduling is permitted within 6 months, subject to availability.


🔹 Adverse Weather Policy

For safety reasons, we reserve the right to cancel or terminate hire in the event of:

  • Heavy rainfall

  • Wind/gust speeds exceeding 24 mph for small inflatables and 18mph for larger inflatables

While no refunds are issued due to sudden rain during hire, we will offer rescheduling where possible if we need to cancel before the hire begins due to weather


🔹 Sun Safety & Water Use

  • Please avoid applying sun cream while users are on the inflatable, as it creates a slipping hazard.

  • Do not add water or turn inflatables into water slides or features, unless specifically designed for that purpose.


🔹 General Conditions

These Terms & Conditions may be updated at any time without prior notice. By hiring equipment from About2Bounce Inflatable Hire, you agree to comply with these terms.

Cambridge Party Hire FAQs

What party hire products suit Cambridge college events?

College functions and formal socials in Cambridge often lean towards stylish but interactive setups. Products such as Magic Mirror hire, LED dancefloors, cocktail-style furniture and multiplayer games are regularly chosen because they balance entertainment with venue presentation.

Can your equipment be installed in older Cambridge buildings?

Yes. Historic venues and listed buildings frequently require more careful setup planning due to narrow entrances, stair access or flooring protection requirements. Equipment choices and delivery schedules can be adapted around these conditions.

What entertainment works well for networking-style events?

Cambridge business and tech events often favour social entertainment that encourages natural conversation. Arcade machines, prosecco walls, dessert stations and casual games help guests interact without needing structured activities or stage presentations.

Do you provide party hire for punting events and riverside celebrations?

Riverside venues and outdoor celebrations around Cambridge usually need practical setup considerations around transport routes, uneven ground and weather cover. Flexible entertainment setups and compact catering stations are often the easiest options for these environments.

Which products are most popular for modern Cambridge weddings?

Current wedding trends in Cambridge often combine elegant styling with more relaxed evening entertainment. LED letters, flower carts, photo booths and products from our dessert hire section are frequently booked together for evening receptions.

Can you help with corporate team socials and office celebrations?

Yes. Team socials regularly include reaction games, shuffleboard, basketball challenges and relaxed food stations. These setups work particularly well for tech companies and office environments where guests prefer informal interaction throughout the event.

What party hire works best for outdoor summer events in Cambridge?

Summer events tend to favour open-plan entertainment and lighter catering options. Garden games, slush machines, strawberries and cream carts and illuminated seating are all regularly requested during warmer months.

Can I create a more premium-looking event setup?

Absolutely. Luxury-style events often combine products such as LED furniture, champagne carts, mirror booths and elegant catering displays to create a cleaner and more polished overall look throughout the venue.

What entertainment keeps guests occupied during reception drinks?

Casual interaction products usually work best early in the event. Audio guestbooks, selfie pods, social games and roaming-style catering help create movement while guests arrive and settle into the venue.

Do you provide event hire for science parks and business campuses?

Yes. Cambridge science parks and business campuses often require organised setup schedules, branded entertainment and professional presentation. Exhibition games and interactive attractions are regularly used for company launches and staff events.

Which nearby areas around Cambridge do you travel to?

We can arrange party hire throughout Cambridge and surrounding areas including Histon, Trumpington, Sawston, Newmarket, Ely and nearby countryside venues depending on event size and logistics.

Can multiple hire categories be combined into one package?

Yes. Many Cambridge bookings combine products from our photo booth hire, catering, lighting and entertainment categories to create a full event package rather than hiring products separately.
