Your pirate ship.
Your full event day. £235.

The pirate captain, tall mast and colourful ship design make an eye-catching centrepiece for children's celebrations. We bring the equipment, install it and return to pack it away at the agreed time.

Delivery & setup

Delivery to our listed areas, positioning, installation and setup checks are included in the £235 price.

Blower & extension lead

The inflation equipment and an extension lead are supplied. Your venue provides a suitable continuous power supply.

Ground pegs & matting

Ground pegs for approved grass installations and the required safety matting are included with setup.

A full day of hire

Enjoy the ship for your agreed event day. Tell us your ready-by time and venue access times when booking.

A safety handover

We explain the operating rules and monitoring requirements. A responsible, suitably instructed adult must supervise throughout use.

Takedown & collection

We return at the agreed time to deflate, pack away and collect. No separate standard collection charge.

Standard hire does not include an attendant remaining at your event. Ask before booking if you need staffing, overnight hire or a different setup arrangement.

Big ship. Clear space.
Good access.

Measure the setup area and the full route from our vehicle. This is a large, heavy inflatable, so a suitable delivery route matters just as much as the size of your garden or field.

Initial ground-space planning allowance

14m × 8m

Approximately 46ft × 26ft of flat, clear ground. This initial allowance adds 2m around the 10m × 4m inflatable footprint.

The required safe operating area must still be confirmed for this unit and your site. More room may be required for slide landings, safety mats, the blower, anchors, access and waiting children. The operating manual's clearances and our site assessment take priority.

Send your available length, width and clear height if space is tight. The 5m figure is the inflatable's overall height; any indoor venue needs additional clear overhead space and prior approval.

Keep clear of trees, overhead cables, fences, walls and other obstacles. A venue that only just fits the inflatable's footprint is unsuitable.

Access we need

  • A wide, clear and reasonably level route
  • Direct van access to the setup area wherever possible
  • No tight alleys, narrow passages or awkward corners
  • No route through a house
  • Any steps, slopes or long carrying distances disclosed in advance
  • Gates unlocked and suitable unloading space available

Unsure about access? Send gate widths, route photos and the distance from parking to the setup area before booking. We cannot install where access or conditions are unsafe.

Suitable ground

Level, clear grass that can safely take ground pegs is the standard surface. Remove stones, debris and animal mess. Tell us about underground cables, pipes or irrigation.

Safe mains electricity

Provide a suitable standard UK 240V / 13A socket within 50m of the setup area, unless a generator is arranged. The blower must run continuously while the inflatable is in use. Tell us where the socket is so we can check the supply and route the extension lead safely.

Other surfaces & venues

Artificial grass, concrete, tarmac and indoor venues need a separate suitability check. Do not book these as a standard grass installation; anchoring and clearance must be approved.

Field or venue without mains electricity?

Add a generator for £50.

Generator hire is available with a full tank of fuel and setup. Tell us your intended running hours so fuel requirements can be checked. Runtime depends on the load; one tank is not an unlimited fuel supply.

£285 combined hire · £28.50 deposit · £256.50 remaining. Select the generator extra when booking.

Yellow pirate ship slide lane with raised inflatable sides and climbing steps beside it
Clear slide exits, controlled turns and constant adult supervision are essential.
Children's hire · Supervision required

Great fun starts
with safe play.

Ages & suitability

Age guide: children aged 3–14. The unit's height limits, ability requirements and operating instructions always take priority. Adults must not play on this children's inflatable.

How many children at once?

Follow the capacity chart on the unit and the limits given at handover. Capacity depends on user height and the area in use. Keep similar-sized children together and never overcrowd it.

Controlled slide turns

Separate slide lanes help keep children on their own sliding path. Allow one child per lane, waiting until the lane and landing are clear before the next turn. Whether lanes may operate together, and how many may be on the steps and platform, must follow the unit label and handover. No tandem or head-first sliding, pushing or climbing back up the slide.

An adult supervises throughout

The hirer must be 18 or over and provide suitably instructed adult supervision. The supervisor must control entry, watch the slide exit and follow the monitoring and shutdown instructions.

Keep these off the ship

  • Shoes, glasses, jewellery and sharp or hard objects
  • Food, drinks, sweets and chewing gum
  • Face paint, body paint, glitter and silly string
  • Pets, toys and other loose objects
  • Water or hoses: this is dry-use equipment
  • Rough play, somersaults and climbing on walls or decorations

During your hire

Do not move the inflatable, alter its anchors or interfere with the blower and electrics. Keep children away from the blower, cables and anchor points.

Follow the supplied checks for anchoring, wind and inflation pressure. If power fails, the ship loses pressure or a fault appears, stop entry, help everyone off safely and contact us before restarting.

Stop use when surfaces are slippery or too hot. Never allow children on during inflation or deflation.

Need inspection or insurance paperwork for a school, venue or public event? Request the relevant documents before booking. Read the full hire terms for equipment care, damage, cleaning and cancellation conditions.

A pirate attraction.
£0 hire cost to the organiser.

For suitable public events, we can bring the pirate ship, provide staff and charge guests per go. We collect and retain the ride income, while your event gains an attraction without an organiser hire fee.

This is a separate arrangement from standard £235 private hire. It depends on our acceptance, availability, attendance, opening hours and a suitable site. It is not automatically available for every event.

We handle the attraction.

Delivery, setup, operation, guest payments and collection are arranged with you before the event.

£0 Hire cost to the organiser
For accepted events
£2–£5 Typical charge per go
Confirmed when agreed

Send the date, full venue address, opening times, estimated footfall, children's ages, available space and power details. We will confirm suitability, staffing and guest pricing before any commitment.

Outdoor hire & your booking

We watch the weather.
Safety makes the final call.

We assess the forecast, local conditions and the ground at your venue. A chance of light showers does not automatically cancel a booking, but unsafe conditions can prevent setup or require use to stop.

Wind & gusts

24mph

Under our policy, do not operate at or above 24mph, or at a lower limit stated for this inflatable. Record regular local anemometer readings; a weather app is not a substitute.

If we cancel before setup

Full refund

If we cancel your booking before setup because weather makes it unsafe, we refund the money paid for that booking under our weather policy.

If your plans change

Contact us

Customer cancellations, date changes and weather deterioration after setup are covered by the hire terms. Send cancellation requests by email so there is a written record.

Stop use in unsafe wind, storms, heavy rain, waterlogging or unsafe surface conditions. Clear users safely and follow the shutdown instructions. Without the required wind and inflation-pressure monitoring equipment, the inflatable must not be operated. Contact us if conditions deteriorate.

Safety guidance: HSE advice on play inflatables .

Useful details before you enquire

A few final questions.

Is £235 the full price for the day?

Yes, for standard pirate ship hire in our listed delivery areas, including delivery, setup and collection. A generator is an optional £50 extra, making £285 in total. Any different hire arrangement is agreed and priced before booking.

Can I book for a school fête or community event?

Yes. Choose standard £235 hire with your own suitable supervision, or enquire about the staffed pay-per-go arrangement for accepted events. Tell us the children's ages, expected attendance, event hours and site details. Ask for any paperwork your venue needs before confirming.

How does the £0 organiser / pay-per-go option work?

For an event we accept, we bring and operate the pirate ship, charge guests per go and retain that income. There is no organiser hire fee for the agreed arrangement. Guest prices, staffing, power and event conditions are confirmed in advance. Sending an enquiry does not confirm that we will attend.

Does a member of your team stay for the whole event?

Standard hire includes delivery, installation, handover and collection. You provide continuous adult supervision after handover. If you need an attendant, ask us to check availability and quote before booking.

Can it go in my back garden?

Only if the ground, full operating area, power and delivery route are suitable. The inflatable itself is approximately 10m long, 4m wide and 5m tall, with additional clearance required. Send measurements and route photos if you are unsure.

Can it go indoors, on concrete or on artificial grass?

Only after approval. Standard hire assumes suitable grass for ground pegs. Other surfaces need the anchoring and protection specified for the inflatable. Indoor venues also need clearance above its 5m overall height, a suitable delivery route and enough usable floor space. Send venue details before booking.

Can the pirate ship stay overnight?

Standard hire is for the agreed event day. Overnight hire needs a separate approved arrangement, suitable security and availability. Please ask before booking.

What if I am unsure about children's ages or rider numbers?

Tell us the ages and expected number of guests before booking. The operating manual and unit label set the permitted user height and capacity. A party of 20 children does not mean all 20 may use the inflatable together. The supervisor must control turns and keep similar-sized users together.

What if the equipment is stained, damaged or stops working?

Stop use if safety is affected and report the issue promptly. Do not attempt repairs or move the equipment. Keep food, face paint, silly string and other staining materials away. The hire agreement explains responsibility and any applicable cleaning, damage or loss charges.

What if the power cuts out?

Stop new users entering, help everyone off safely and follow the handover instructions. Contact us. Do not use the inflatable again until the fault has been resolved and safe operation has been confirmed.

Will an enquiry hold my date?

No. Your date is secured once your booking is accepted and the 10% deposit is paid. Use the online booking page for a standard hire, or the form below for a specific question.
