Simply add the date of your event on any product page and the system will automatically display the product quantity available at which time you can add the product to your hire cart.

Questions about Jumping Castle Hire
Yes, our pricing includes professional installation of all inflatables. Note that it is a compulsory requirement of WHS and the Australian Standards that inflatables are installed by competent operators (meaning they cannot be self-installed).
All jumping castles require a supervisor. If you have booked one of our supervisor’s (additional cost), they will arrive for the commencement of your event. If you have elected to supply your own supervisor, our team members will only install and pack up the equipment (and supply them with a safety briefing).
Delivery runs are finalised the day prior to your event. You will receive a delivery confirmation message via email and sms with your 2 hour time slot window for both delivery and pick up.
No problems. You’ll need to find out if the park has power available and whether you can gain access to it. If not, we can supply you a generator at an additional cost.
You’ll also need to check with the relevant council to see whether a permit is required
Rainy days are taken on a case by case basis after assessing the set up environment however in most cases bar any extreme weather conditions, we are happy to set up your jumping castle in light rain if your event is still on.
You can read our Cancellation/Postponement policy here
Yes, you will need power for almost all of our items. The power requirements for each piece of equipment is listed on the product page within the features section. If power is unavailable, we can supply a generator for your event (at an additional cost).

We DO have adults jumping castles for hire that can be used for both children and adults.
The surface type is an important factor to advise when booking your jumping castle.
Generally, installing jumping castles onto grass where pegs can be used is the preferred option however we can accommodate other surface types including fake grass, concrete, indoor surfaces, sports courts etc (additional fees apply).
We DO NOT install on gravel or dirt. If you have not advised us of the correct surface type at the time of booking, we may be unable to install your jumping castle.

If we’re unable to set up your machine, our team will give you a full run down on how to operate the machine as well as instructions.
Yes! All of our fun food machines are easy to operate and built to be as simple to use as possible. If you have elected a “dry hire” (no operator supplied), our team member will provide you with a full demonstration upon delivering the machine. Written instructions are also provided with delivery.
No! All of our packages comes with EVERYTHING you need to make fluffy soft, fairy floss, cinema quality popcorn, tasty cocktails or crunchy snow cones (the exception is ice for snow cone machines to avoid melting, alcohol in slushies and meat/condiments for our hot dog machines).
Take a look at the product page for a full list of what’s included.
Sure. This is a popular method for our hirers to make their money back and even produce profits for their school, charity or organisation!
Talk to us today about selling fun foods at your next event.
No worries. We can supply fun food machine operators at any type of event, any day, any time. Just let us know the details of the event for an accurate quote.
Sure, just let us know at the time of booking and ensure the alcohol is available on site at the time of delivery/setup.
Generally, a 1 litre bottle of spirits is recommended per slushie bowl. We supply everything else (cups, straws and mixture).
Questions about Letter Lighting
Our range of light up letters can be used both indoors and outdoors on most surfaces (within reason).
Whilst indoors is preferred, the 25cm depth of our letters allows for a sturdy layout regardless of the ground type.
Yes you will require access to power. Our light up letters operate off a standard 10 amp outlet and we can usually run 4-6 letters off one outlet.
Our brand new light up letters feature a bright LED “turbo” bulb which gives off a glowing and beautiful “star” like effect in warm white by default.
They are controlled on your phone by an app that uses bluetooth to connect to the letters and can then be changed to ANY colour using a simple colour wheel OR placed on any one of 200 cycles (flashing, strobing etc).
This is where our letter light hire stands out! We don’t just stock standard words or letters like “LOVE” or “21”.
We’re proud to say that we carry the full alphabet of letters, numbers and characters (including !, #, & as well as love hearts) in both our 60cm and 120cm range including duplicates of many popular characters!
You can check availability directly online of all characters (in both sizes) or contact us to check if your wording can be made up!
Our light up letters are carefully constructed using sheet metal and finished in a gloss white exterior.
All wiring is hidden internally and our LED turbo bulbs are extremely low in power consumption as well as cool to touch.
Both 60cm and 120cm characters are constructed with a 25cm depth offering superior sturdiness during set up and your event. This also minimises the need for additional stands and bases (with the exception of certain characters).
