Gladiator Jousting is a head-to-head balance game in which participants use the supplied jousting equipment. It works well as a short competition with clear turns, while spectators watch from outside the activity area. Follow the equipment’s suitability and operating instructions.

Getting ready for delivery
Before booking, check the product’s stated dimensions and suitability, including ceiling height for indoor venues and clear access for our delivery team. Tell us about steps, narrow gates or restricted access in advance. We supply and set up the equipment, then explain its use at handover. For blower-powered inflatables, a suitable mains socket is normally needed within 25 metres of the blower; discuss alternatives with us if power is unavailable.
Outdoor hire and the weather
For outdoor inflatable hire, we install on suitable natural grass only. We do not set up on concrete, tarmac, patios or artificial grass. Our guide to surfaces and anchoring explains why. Outdoor hires also depend on suitable weather; read our wind-speed guide before planning your event. From November to April, our inflatable hires are indoors only.
Equipment care and inspections
Annual inspection is one part of looking after our inflatables. We use PIPA/RPII testing and inspection against the applicable BS EN 14960 requirements, with manufacturer-supplied PIPA tests on some new units and an approved RPII inspector for ongoing annual inspections. Read our testing and inspection information.
Supervision and safe use
A responsible adult aged 18 or over must supervise equipment left in your care throughout the hire. Follow the product’s user limits and the instructions given at setup. Our bouncy castle safety information and health and safety guidance explain the wider precautions we take.
Planning the hire
Check availability and the booking total for the date and hire period you need, including any delivery charge or selected extras. If your venue has fixed access times, or you need a different collection arrangement, speak to us before booking. We can help match the equipment and timing to your event.
Check the room around the equipment
Allow room for the activity itself and for players to approach, take their turns and retrieve game equipment. Queues and spectators also need space. Tell us about the surface, power and access at your venue so we can check the practical requirements for this game.
