How Much Space Do I Need for Soft Play Hire?
The space required depends on the equipment you choose. Check the dimensions of each product and allow sufficient room for access, set-up and supervised play. Indoor venues may also need adequate ceiling clearance for taller equipment.
A small play area for a family celebration will have different requirements from a larger installation at an exhibition or corporate event. If you are working with a compact room, browse our small-space options.
Before booking, measure the usable floor area rather than relying on the room's overall dimensions. Consider furniture, doorways, fixed features and the space needed for people to move around the equipment.
Our guides to indoor set-up and outdoor set-up explain further venue considerations. If you are unsure whether a particular product will fit, send us the venue details before confirming your hire.
Which Soft Play Package Is Suitable for My Event?
Choose a package based on the children's ages, the activities you want to provide and the space available. The product listing will help you compare the equipment included in each option.
For a baby's first birthday, you might begin with The Baby Soft Play Package. For a toddler party, take a look at The Toddler Combo Soft Play Package. If you want a play area with a particular visual theme, consider The Transport Soft Play Package or The Jungle Soft Play Package.
For an event with a coordinated colour scheme, The Pastel Soft Play Package is another option to explore. Check each product's contents and requirements before deciding which arrangement suits your venue.
Can You Hire Soft Play for Weddings, Hotels and Corporate Events?
Yes. Dancing Cubs provides soft play for private celebrations and organised events, including weddings, hotel family spaces, corporate occasions and exhibitions. The equipment and layout can be selected according to the venue, event format and ages of the children attending.
A wedding may need a children's play area within a reception venue, while a hotel or office event may have specific access times and a designated space for younger guests. Exhibitions and longer-running projects may require a larger or more carefully planned installation.
