19 September 20 - The new rule-of-six and how to plan around it

Wanting to celebrate your child’s birthday in the coming months? 🥳

The new ‘rule of 6’ introduced into England at the beginning of this week understandably makes it harder to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays together, but not impossible. Instead, the duration of excitement can be extended to allow friends to meet but in much smaller groups, not exceeding the rule of six (inclusive of your own household).

Whilst we realise this task may be difficult to conquer, taking advantage of our whole-day or overnight Inflatable hire means you can achieve just that.

Invite friends to visit through-out the day in set time-slots that allows the party to still happen, without breaking the rules. Here’s an example:
Your bouncy castle inflatable is ready and set-up for use by 11am and is due to be picked-up and 6pm.
Your household contains 3 people, you can therefore invite a further 3 people to join your party (maybe 1 adult and 2 kids?) between 11:15 til 12pm, leaving a 15-minute interval for swop over of guests. Your next guests (up-to 3) can then arrive at 12:15 repeating the process and allowing 45 minutes for play.
Doing it this way may seem confusing, but it’s the only way to keep within the limit. And, give the example above, allows a total overall 21 guests to join the party, within seven 45 minute sessions.



In addition, we are stepping up our measures, from today, all hires will include a bottle of BIO-SAN left with the hirer to sanitise the inflatable through-out every interval of guests arriving, reassuring your invitees of safe play equipment. BIO-SAN is proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses within a short 5-minute period. All you have to do is spray, let it work it’s magic and dry. It’s advised you should also provide your guests hand sanitiser to use upon arrival and through-out their visit.

We’ve some more ideas to help you celebrate safely coming soon. In the meantime, please be reassured we are still 100% available for hire through-out the autumn and winter seasons and we look forward to seeing you soon.
