This Happy New Year 2026 blog reflects on a busy and enjoyable festive season, with Christmas parties, school events and community celebrations taking place across our delivery areas. It also looks ahead to the wide range of parties and events already being planned for 2026, from indoor winter bookings to spring, summer and end-of-year celebrations. The blog highlights our continued focus on safe, well-maintained equipment, flexible booking options and supporting events of all sizes throughout the year.
As we move into 2026, we would like to wish all of our customers a very Happy New Year and say thank you to everyone who booked with us throughout 2025. The past year has been busy across all seasons, but the festive period in particular has been a great way to finish the year, with Christmas parties, school celebrations, community events and family gatherings taking place right across our delivery areas.
Throughout November and December we supplied a wide range of equipment for end-of-term school parties, church hall celebrations, winter fairs and private bookings. Low-height inflatables, themed bouncy castles and soft play setups were especially popular for indoor events, with many venues choosing items from our Bouncy Castles and Soft Play Packages ranges to suit halls with limited ceiling height.
Bounce and slide combos from our Bounce & Slide Bouncy Castles category were also a regular choice for larger indoor spaces and outdoor winter events where weather allowed.
Seasonal party hire is something we always enjoy supporting.
Over the festive period we worked with schools, nurseries, community groups and families to help plan layouts that fitted their venues and age groups. Many customers combined a themed bouncy castle with soft play or a ball pond from our Ball Pond Hire range to create a balanced setup for mixed-age parties.
These kinds of combinations continue to be popular as we head into the new year.
Looking ahead to 2026, we are already taking bookings for birthday parties, school events, fundraisers, sports days, christenings, summer fairs and end-of-year celebrations. January and February are often busy with indoor hall hires, making low-height bouncy castles, JNR slides and soft play ideal choices.
As the year progresses, outdoor hires and garden parties increase, with customers choosing larger inflatables and activity items for spring and summer events.
We will continue to offer clear product sizing, online availability checking and flexible payment options throughout 2026. Customers can use our live booking system to reserve equipment in advance, check delivery coverage via Delivery Areas, and review practical information on FAQs, Safety and Terms before confirming their hire.
For those still choosing a venue, our Halls - Venues - Delivery section remains a helpful reference point.
As we start the new year, we are looking forward to continuing to support local parties and events across our service areas. Whether you are planning a small indoor gathering or a larger celebration later in 2026, our focus remains on providing clean, well-maintained equipment and a reliable service from booking through to collection.
Thank you again to everyone who hired from us during the festive season and throughout 2025. We look forward to being part of many more parties, events and celebrations in 2026.
