About The Party Doctors
We are a family-run, full-time party and event hire business with around 20 years of experience. We help families, schools, workplaces and community organisers choose equipment that suits their guests, venue and plans.
People you can speak to before booking
Phil Lack began working in entertainment as a teenage DJ, later expanding into bouncy castles and event equipment. That practical experience shapes our service today: we discuss the details that matter before delivery, from hall access and ceiling height to power and collection times.
You can talk to us about your event if you are unsure what will fit or which activities suit your guests. We would rather help you choose a suitable item than leave you guessing from a photograph.
Equipment for different celebrations
Our range includes children’s bouncy castles, adult-friendly inflatables, castle and slide combinations, assault courses and inflatable games. Soft play and ball pools give younger children an activity of their own, while packages can help you plan several items together.
A service built around the practical details
We deliver, set up and collect the hired equipment, explaining its use at handover. Working full-time means maintenance, cleaning and booking support are part of our everyday work. Tell us about narrow gates, steps or fixed venue access times so we can agree arrangements in advance.
We supply parties in Bedford and events in Potton, as well as St Neots and the surrounding delivery area. Send us your postcode and date to confirm coverage, availability and any delivery charge. Our venue directory offers information about local halls.
Checks, paperwork and supervision
Applicable inflatable play equipment is inspected under PIPA/RPII arrangements against BS EN 14960 requirements. New equipment may arrive with a manufacturer-supplied PIPA test; our ongoing annual inspections are carried out by an approved RPII inspector. Electrical equipment is PAT tested, and we carry £5m public liability insurance. See our health and safety information and available documents, or ask for the paperwork relevant to your hire.
We explain the supervision and operating requirements for your equipment. Outdoor inflatables are installed on suitable natural grass, subject to safe weather conditions; from November to April our inflatable hires are indoors only.
