Welcome Dave & Shelly's Entertainments!

Bouncy Castle Hire Ipswich

Our businesses started at various times and separately, but they all work well together. To make it easier for customers we joined them up under the one roof, but they are still run in their own right.

We are made up of:

Dave's Bouncy Castles

Shelly's Sideshows, Soft Play, Giant Games & fundraising Side Games

Party & Gifts Galorea


Daves Bouncy Castles

Is just that, it hires out bouncy castles, and other inflatables like slides to both private and public events. We can cater for your own party or family get together right through to fetes, fairs, fun days and even special days like wedding receptions and christening. Basically anytime you want a bouncy castle or inflatable attraction we can help.


This has full insurance, and certificates are available if it is needed. We also keep all out inflatables up to date on safety testing and again this can be viewed on request. We keep everything clean and in good condition, and provide the minimum of the regulation safety equipments at least, we do often put more out if we can as to many mats and safety items is far better then not enough.


Shelly's Sideshows

Hire out soft play items, ranging from ball pools to mats and shapes, we also have rockers and ride ons and some softplay slides. All different things to make a child's party happy and exciting. We can meet many of your requirements.


Another part of this is our Giant Garden Games, we have some very big size classic games, like a 4ft wide connect 4, and a big outdoor snakes and ladders, twister, Jenga and more.

These are great for all the family, and also for the parties and BBQ. Also good for a little fun as something on the side at your fetes or fun days.


Another part of this side is our great range of items that can work for the Fete, Fair, and Fun days that people run. We have a great range of the old classic side games, and some of the fun classics like bean bag tosses, even great hoopla's and the spot the sheets. We then also have some modern games and some modern takes on the classics, We have a great inflatable Hoopla, Powered Hook the duck, right through to our 8ft tall inflatable Velcro dartboard with some Velcro disks to play 'darts' with.

We are looking at speed test games, and so much more. The goal is to bring the fun of the old style fairs or carnivals to the world in the modern fundraising events that people run. We also have staff for your face painting, glitter tattooing and balloon modeling needs and this too can be for a big or small event including your childs party.


A new and exciting addition to the non castle part is our gaming tables, both casino and other game tables like pool, snooker, air hockey. Popcorn and Candy Floss machines also available along with so many other things.

Party & Gifts Galore

Sells and provides a service for party items, we make and sell sweet cones, pinatas which we sell both pre-filled ready to go, or empty to load with your own treats, loot or goody bags again all filled.

We have balloons and other decoration items, food boxes filled and ready to go to ease your day, or supplied for you to add things into, and much more. With this area of our services you could throw a party and all you need to sort is the venue, kids and food, the rest could all be provided ready to go.

So it really does give you the chance to have a great party with very little hassle, and in today's world with busy family life not having to trail the shops, and wait in for days for the delivery of all the items, and even trying to hide everything from the children is no longer an issue.
