Also that the area is clear as well as free of litter, rubbish and animal foul. We must be able to get a vehicle within 25 metres of the location of the inflatable.
If the inflatable is to be set up inside a hall or venue, there must be suitable parking for a large van (i.e. legal on-road parking or a car park without height restrictions).
If you require the inflatable to be taken up any steps or steep slopes, please advise in advance as additional man-power may be required for larger items for which there may be an additional charge.

Where our delivery team arrives at an address/venue and this person is not present, they will wait for a period of 15 minutes whilst attempting to make contact using the telephone numbers provided at the time of booking.
