All kids love a pillow fight, but how good is their balance whilst doing so?!

Sit on the pole and see who has the best skill whilst trying to swipe their opponent off with our special padded pillows. This item is also commonly referred to as a Pillow Bash.

This items very nicely compliments any bouncy castle hire, but also our ever popular Gladiator Joust.

Popular with all ages, this pole joust is always a crowd pleaser providing endless laughter and giggles. It proves very popular at fun days, fetes and school parties - or even for corporate events where competitive fun is the order of the day!

A full-time team behind your booking

Sundorne is a family-run, full-time hire business with over 20 years of experience. We can help you think through access, space and event timings before you book, rather than leaving you to work it out on delivery day. Read why customers choose Sundorne and our customer reviews to get a feel for the service.

Planning your setup

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

Applicable inflatable play equipment receives annual PIPA/RPII inspections against BS EN 14960 requirements, alongside our regular maintenance and checks before use. Some new units arrive with a manufacturer-supplied PIPA test; ongoing annual inspections are carried out by an approved RPII inspector. See how our inflatables are inspected.

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.

Booking and clear arrangements

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.

Make the layout work for your event

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.
