Planning a party, christening or family event in Staffordshire? Soft play hire brings a private play area straight to your venue: no booking slots, no sharing with other families, and no clearing up afterwards. We deliver premium foam soft play sets across Staffordshire, build them for you in the morning and collect them the same evening.
Here's everything you need to know about hiring soft play in Staffordshire, from what's included and what it costs to how much space you'll need.
Why hire soft play for your Staffordshire event?
Your own private play area
Instead of squeezing into a busy play centre, children get a soft play set just for your guests, in a room you've chosen. It's calmer for little ones and easier for parents to keep an eye on everyone.
We do the heavy lifting
We arrive at a time that suits you, build the layout to fit your room and wipe everything down before the fun starts. When your event finishes, we come back and take it all away. Nothing to pack, clean or store.
Suits all kinds of venues
Soft play hire works in village and church halls, community centres, function rooms, nurseries and schools, and at home in a large living room, conservatory or garage. We can also set up outdoors on flat grass or a patio in dry weather with matting underneath, with a wet-weather backup agreed when you book.
Clean and ready for little ones
Every piece has a wipeable surface and is cleaned with a child-safe antibacterial solution after each hire, then wiped down again once built at your venue. Ball pit balls are washed between bookings.

Add a flower wall for picture-perfect photos
Every soft play set can be paired with a flower wall backdrop for £250, supplied by our sister company Starlight Flower Walls and built at the same time as your soft play. It's a favourite behind the cake table at birthdays, christenings and weddings, and there's no second delivery to arrange.
Events we cater for in Staffordshire
Birthday parties
From first birthdays to fifth birthdays, a soft play set gives toddlers and young children a safe space to climb, slide and play while parents relax.
Christenings and naming ceremonies
Keep younger guests entertained while the grown-ups celebrate. The Quiet Corner and Creativity Set suit smaller function rooms.
Weddings
A pastel or white soft play corner keeps little guests happy through the speeches and gives parents a chance to enjoy the day.
Nurseries, schools and open days
Our Nursery Day Hire is built before you open and collected after close. We supply risk assessment and insurance documents, offer invoice payment terms and have block-booking rates across a term.
Community and corporate family events
Church fun days, community centre events and corporate family days all work well with a larger set such as the Mega Castle or The Full Playroom.
