Inclement Weather & Cancellations

All Speciality Castles™ jumping castles come with a sun and shade cloth to protect users from the sun and rain.

Should it rain or look like raining on the morning of your booking your local franchisee will contact you to ask if you still require the castle on the date of the booking where you will have the opportunity to cancel the booking prior to it arriving at your party? Once entering into the hire agreement payment is required and is non refundable. Our franchisees and staff will train you in what to do in the event or rain throughout the day. We recommend that all users cease use in the event of rain and discontinue use until rain ceases and the castle and surrounds dry.

Due to safety reasons our franchisees are unable to set up in rain even though many jumping castles come with rain covers. Rain covers prevent the rain from falling directly into the castle, however rain water lying around the castle make surfaces slippery and wet and also pose other issues for the electrical source.

What happens if I cancel or need to postpone my booking ?

In the event that you need to cancel your booking, you booking deposit is transferable to any future booking within 12 months of making your cancellation. The booking deposit is non refundable.
