The soft play you've seen on our site — hired for your day
We supply foam soft play equipment to nurseries, play centres and homes across the UK. Now you can hire the same sets: birthday parties, christenings, weddings, nursery open days, church halls and corporate family events.
One price, one day, no small print. We arrive in the morning, build the set to fit your room, and come back that evening to take it all away. Every set is CE-certified, non-toxic, BPA and phthalate free, with wipeable surfaces cleaned before it reaches you.

How hire works
Check your date
Use the checker below to see if your date is open, then send us the details. We reply with a fixed price, usually the same day.
Confirm with a deposit
A £50 deposit holds the date. The balance is due on the day. Deposits move free to a new date if plans change.
We arrive in the morning
We deliver at a time that suits you, build the layout and the flower wall if you've added one, and wipe everything down.
We collect that evening
We come back at the agreed time and take it all away — nothing for you to clean, pack or store.
Check your date and book
Pick your date to see whether it's still open, then send us the details. We'll confirm availability and give you an exact price including delivery to your postcode.
Date checker
Our diary is updated weekly. A green result means the date was free at our last update — we'll confirm it when you enquire.
Questions parents ask
How much does soft play hire cost?
One price per set for the day: £125 for the Creativity Set, £185 for the Party Set, £245 for the Mega Castle Set and £395 for The Full Playroom. Delivery, setup and collection within 20 miles are included in every price.
Can I add a flower wall to any set?
Yes — a flower wall backdrop is £250 and can be added to every package on this page. We build it at the same time as the soft play, so there's only one delivery and one collection to think about. Choose your colours when you book, and we'll match it to your scheme.
How long do I get the soft play for?
The day. We deliver and build in the morning at a time that suits you, and collect that evening once your event has finished. If you need a set for longer than one day, tell us the dates and we'll quote.
How much space do I need?
The Creativity Set needs roughly 4m × 4m, the Party Set around 6m × 6m and the Mega Castle Set around 7m × 7m. A flower wall needs about 2.5m of clear wall. Tell us your venue and we'll tell you what fits.
What ages is it suitable for?
Our sets suit children from birth to around six. The Creativity Set is best for under-fours; the Mega Castle Set works well up to school age. All play must be supervised by a responsible adult.
Is the equipment clean?
Yes. Every piece has a wipeable, non-toxic surface and is cleaned with child-safe antibacterial solution after each hire, then wiped down again once built at your venue. Ball pit balls are washed between bookings.
Can you set up outdoors?
We can, on flat grass or a patio in dry weather with matting underneath. We'll agree a wet-weather plan when you book — most people hold a hall, gazebo or garage as backup.
Do you hire to nurseries and schools?
Yes, and it's one of the things we do most. Nursery hire is £215 for the day, built before you open and collected after close, with risk assessment and insurance documents supplied, invoice payment terms and block-booking rates across a term.
How far ahead should I book?
Weekends between March and September usually go four to six weeks ahead. Weekdays and winter dates are often available with a week's notice. If your date is soon, ask anyway — cancellations happen.
Can I buy the sets instead of hiring?
You can. Every set on this page is available to buy outright with free UK delivery. Follow the links in each package above.
