Hiring a bouncy castle
In Great Britain, a bouncy castle usually carries a numbered PIPA tag or an ADIPS declaration of compliance. You can check its safety tests on the scheme's website.
Space for a bouncy castle
Check the ground is flat, there is room around the castle, and a power socket for the blower is within reach.
Catering numbers
Give the caterer the number of guests, any dietary needs and the timings, so the quotes compare.
