Soft Play Hire — Start Your Own Soft Play Hire Business
Soft play hire is one of the fastest-growing children's entertainment businesses in the UK. Whether you're looking to enquire about a hire for an upcoming event, or you're thinking about starting your own soft play hire business, you've come to the right place.
Thinking about starting a soft play hire business?
Hundreds of people across the UK run profitable soft play hire businesses from home, hiring out equipment for birthday parties, christenings, weddings, corporate events and community gatherings. The startup costs are low, the demand is high year-round, and the equipment pays for itself quickly.
What you need to get started
All you need to launch a soft play hire business is a quality set of foam soft play equipment, a van or large car, and a way to take bookings. Our soft play sets are specifically designed to be durable enough for commercial hire use — high-density foam, machine washable covers, and built to withstand daily setup and packdown across multiple events.
Which products work best for hire?
Our most popular products for soft play hire businesses are our Soft Play Castle Block Sets, Step and Slide Sets, Ball Pits and Bridge Sets. The White and Pastel colourways are the most versatile for hire as they suit any event theme. Our Soft Play Party Set is our flagship hire package — a large complete set designed specifically for events and hire businesses.
How much can you earn from soft play hire?
Most soft play hire businesses charge between £150 and £400 per booking depending on the set size and duration. With a single quality set costing from around £190, most operators recover their investment within a handful of bookings. Many build up to multiple sets and hire out several events per weekend.
Enquire about soft play hire for your event
If you're planning a children's party, christening, wedding, school event or community gathering and want to enquire about soft play hire in your area, get in touch with us and we'll point you in the right direction — or help you explore whether purchasing your own set makes more sense for your needs.
Many of our customers who initially enquire about hire end up purchasing their own equipment once they realise how cost-effective ownership is — especially for regular events, nurseries, or families who entertain frequently.
Why buy instead of hire?
No booking availability issues
When you own your soft play equipment, it's available whenever you need it. No chasing availability, no minimum hire periods, no disappointment when your preferred date is taken.
Pays for itself quickly
A quality soft play set from £190 costs less than two or three hire bookings. For families who host regular events, or anyone considering launching a hire business, ownership makes financial sense almost immediately.
Free UK delivery on all sets
Every product includes free delivery across the UK within 14 working days — nationwide, wherever you are.
