Summer 2026 is shaping up to be one of the busiest event seasons yet, with families, schools, businesses and community groups planning celebrations across the North East. Whether you're organising a garden birthday party in Peterlee, a school fun day in Hartlepool, a family celebration in Sutton or a large community event in Durham, Bounce Craze has a huge range of entertainment options to help make your event stand out.
From bouncy castles and soft play to discos, mascots, photo booths and fun food machines, our products are designed to help create memorable events for guests of all ages.
Bouncy Castles Remain the Summer Favourite
It's no surprise that bouncy castles continue to be one of the most popular attractions for summer events. They provide hours of entertainment and are suitable for birthdays, family celebrations, school events and community fun days.
Customers can browse hundreds of inflatable options through our Bouncy Castles collection, including themed inflatables, slide castles, low-height castles and larger premium units.
Popular summer choices include the Monster Truck Castle with Slide, 3D Dinosaur Castle With Slide 12ft x 15ft, 3D Racing Car Bouncy Castle Slide 12ft x 18ft and the 3D Unicorn Bouncy Castle With Slide 12ftx15ft.
Themed Parties Continue to Grow
Summer birthdays are becoming increasingly themed, with many families choosing inflatables that match invitations, decorations and party activities.
Some of our most popular theme collections include Unicorn Theme, Minecraft Theme, Bluey Theme, Paw Patrol Theme, Peppa Pig Theme, Frozen Theme and Super-hero Theme.
These themes are regularly hired throughout Sutton, Peterlee and Hartlepool for birthdays, school celebrations and holiday events.
Soft Play for Younger Children
Not every event is aimed at older children. Many summer celebrations include toddlers and younger guests, making soft play a fantastic addition to the entertainment lineup.
Our Soft Play range includes the Baby and Tott Play Park, Jungle Themed Play Park, Unicorn Soft Play and a variety of ball pools and themed play sets.
These products are particularly popular for christenings, first birthdays and family events throughout the summer months.
School Fun Days and Summer Events
As schools approach the end of the academic year, fun days and reward events become increasingly popular.
Products from School Fun Fair, School University And College Event and Inflatable Games are regularly hired for sports days, PTA events and end-of-term celebrations.
The Football Shoot Out remains one of the most requested school event attractions, while larger inflatables help keep pupils entertained throughout the day.
Discos and Evening Entertainment
Summer parties don't always stop when the sun goes down. Evening entertainment remains popular for birthdays, weddings and community celebrations.
Customers regularly hire products from Mobile Disco, Children - Disco, Adult Disco & Packages and Disco Theme.
The Disco Dome, Disco Combo 12ft x 15ft and Disco Equipment Self Hire Price From 160 continue to be among the most popular summer entertainment options.
Mascots and Character Visits
Character appearances create excitement at birthdays, school events and family celebrations.
Popular mascots include the Bluey Mascot, Mickey Mouse, Stitch Mascot, Baby Cocomelon Mascot and many more from our Mascot/character Vista collection.
Character appearances are especially popular during school holidays and summer family events.
Fun Food Machines for Summer Events
No summer celebration feels complete without treats for guests. Fun food machines continue to be popular additions to birthdays, school fairs and community events.
Our Fun Food collection includes the Candy Floss Machine 1 Hour, Popcorn Machine 1 Hour and Hot Dog Machine.
These products are regularly hired alongside inflatables to create a traditional summer fun day atmosphere.
Photo Booths, Magic Mirrors and Event Extras
For weddings, milestone birthdays and larger celebrations, customers often choose additional entertainment that encourages guest interaction.
The Magic Mirror 2 Hours, Magic Mirror 3 Hours and products from Photo Booth And Magic Mirror remain popular throughout the wedding and event season.
