It might still feel like autumn, but Christmas is just around the corner — and for many families, schools and community groups across Mid Ulster, that means it’s time to start planning those festive celebrations. At Rascals Castles, November is when our Christmas Parties bookings really start to fill up, so if you’re thinking about hiring inflatables or party equipment for your event, now’s the perfect time to get organised.
Why Book Early?
December is one of our busiest months of the year. Between school fairs, church events, community Christmas markets and private family parties, our most popular inflatables are often booked out well before December even begins. Early booking means you’ll have first pick of your favourite bouncy castles, slides, and festive inflatables like the Christmas Snow Globe and Inflatable Santa’s Grotto.
By confirming your date early, you’ll also have time to plan all the finishing touches — like decorations, refreshments, and entertainment — without any last-minute stress.
Christmas Favourites for 2025
Our Christmas range has something for every kind of event, big or small. The Christmas Snow Globe and Snow Globe continue to be our most requested winter inflatables, perfect for creating a magical photo opportunity or a fun play area at school fairs and town events. Children love stepping inside to experience the snow effect, and they make a great festive centrepiece.
For events with Santa appearances, the Inflatable Santa’s Grotto provides a warm, welcoming setting that looks fantastic indoors or outdoors. It’s easy to decorate and works brilliantly alongside our Heated Party Tent Marquee, which provides extra space and comfort for visitors waiting to meet Father Christmas.
If you’re planning a larger celebration, our Christmas Party Package is a simple all-in-one option that combines some of our best festive inflatables and accessories into one easy booking.
Indoor Options for Winter Weather
We know that Northern Ireland’s weather can be unpredictable in December, so many of our customers choose indoor venues such as community halls, sports centres or schools. Our bouncy castles and disco domes are perfect for this — and we even have low-ceiling options like the Low Ceiling Bouncy Castle for smaller spaces.
For Christmas discos or youth group events, our Candy Twist Helter Skelter Disco Dome or Disco Cube Bouncy Castle With Slide bring lights, sound and colour to keep the atmosphere festive and fun.
Don’t Forget the Extras
Every Christmas event needs those little touches that make it special. A slush machine adds something extra for children and guests, while marquee hire provides weatherproof cover if you’re hosting outdoors. And with supervision available, you can relax knowing trained staff are on hand to make sure all inflatables are used safely.
If you’re planning a large community event, talk to us about combining inflatables from different categories — for example, adding an inflatable game such as the Inflatable Darts Football or Total Wipeout Bicycle Sweeper alongside your Christmas setup for something fun and different.
Rascals Castles delivers Christmas party hire right across Mid Ulster, including Antrim, Magherafelt, Cookstown, Castledawson, Bellaghy, Randalstown and all surrounding towns and villages. We handle delivery, setup and collection so you can focus on enjoying the day.
