Cheshire has no shortage of beautiful venues, from village halls and country pubs to barn conversions and hotel function rooms. What most of them don't have is anything to keep toddlers and young children happy. Soft play hire fixes that. We bring a complete foam play area to your venue in Cheshire, build it in the morning and collect it that evening, so you can get on with enjoying the day.
Whether it's a first birthday in Nantwich, a christening in Knutsford or a wedding near Chester, here's how soft play hire works and what it costs.
Why families in Cheshire choose soft play hire
Turn any venue into a play venue
Village halls in Sandbach, church halls in Congleton, community centres in Winsford or a large living room at home: if there's floor space, we can build a soft play area in it. Your guests stay local and the party happens exactly where you want it.
No shared slots or strangers
Unlike a public soft play centre, the equipment is just for your guests, for the whole day. There are no party time slots to rush through and you can bring your own food and cake.
Built for you, taken away for you
We arrive at a time that suits you, lay the set out to fit your room and wipe everything down. When the party is over, we come back and pack it all away. Nothing to carry, clean or store.
Clean, safe and ready to play
Every piece has a wipeable surface and is cleaned with a child-safe antibacterial solution after each hire, then wiped again once built at your venue. Ball pit balls are washed between bookings. All play must be supervised by a responsible adult.

Pair your soft play with a flower wall
