Back to School, Back to Bounce: Autumn Term Event Hire
The pencils are sharpened, the uniforms have mysteriously become too small and parents everywhere are wondering how six weeks disappeared quite so quickly. Yes, the end of the summer holidays is nigh, and the school gates are getting ready to swing open again.
But there's no need for the fun to be expelled along with the summer holidays. The autumn term brings plenty of opportunities for schools to organise fun days, reward events, fundraising activities, welcome-back events and celebrations, and MK Bouncy Castles has plenty of equipment ready to earn top marks.
There's No Need to Put Fun in Detention
September might mean a return to lessons, but school events don't have to feel like homework. Our range includes Kids Bouncy Castles, Inflatable Games, Sports Inflatables, Assault Courses and much more, giving schools plenty of ways to create an event suited to their pupils and available space.
You can keep things simple with one or two attractions or put together several activities for a bigger school event. With such a varied equipment range, there's no need to copy last term's homework either.
PE, But With Considerably More Inflatable Things
For pupils who like to get moving, inflatable games and obstacle courses are an obvious place to start. A fun run gives children a route of obstacles to negotiate, while our sports equipment introduces football, basketball and accuracy-based activities.
The Triple Basketball Shootout Inflatable gives three players shooting positions, while the Football Shoot Out is ideal for pupils who fancy testing their finishing skills. The Football Chipping Game offers another football-based option.
For something bigger, take a look through Assault Courses and Fun Runs. They can provide plenty of active entertainment without anyone having to remember their PE kit. Result.
Ready, Nerf, Go!
Our Nerf Wars equipment gives schools another way to introduce organised target activities. The Nerf Shootout provides a straightforward shooting game, while the Twin Lane Nerf Range lets two participants play side by side.
For busier events, the Triple Lane Nerf Range provides three shooting lanes. Schools can run individual attempts, class competitions or scoring sessions, with foam ammunition and clearly defined shooting areas.
Combine Nerf with other Inflatable Games and you've got the makings of an activity circuit that could prove considerably more popular than double maths.
Give the School Fete an Autumn Term
Who says fete games belong exclusively to summer? Our Fete Games can work brilliantly for autumn school events too.
Set up several short activities and allow pupils to move between them, or turn the whole thing into a points competition. Games such as Bowling Alley can sit alongside inflatable attractions to provide a mixture of activities rather than relying on one large piece of equipment.
Our Fete Game Package is also worth considering when you'd rather choose a ready-made combination.
School Competition? Consider It in the Bag
Autumn events can become much more interesting when there's a scoreboard involved. Split pupils into houses, classes or year groups and award points at different activities.
One station could involve basketball shooting, another football accuracy and another a traditional fete game. Add a suitable inflatable obstacle activity and you've suddenly got a full programme rather than a single attraction.
Teachers are, of course, entirely permitted to participate. Whether their scores need to be announced during Monday assembly is a decision we shall leave to the school.
When Autumn Weather Does Its Homework
British autumn weather has a habit of arriving with its own lesson plan, so an indoor alternative can be extremely useful. Our Indoor Inflatables range includes equipment suitable for venues where available ceiling height and floor space are more restricted.
We also have Low Height Under 9ft inflatables that can be useful for suitable halls. Check your venue dimensions carefully before booking and remember to allow the full operating space rather than simply checking the dimensions of the inflatable itself.
Our FAQs contain further information about setup, space, power and hire arrangements. If you're uncertain about a particular school hall or site, speak to us before booking and we can help you work through the practical requirements.
Little Pupils Haven't Been Forgotten
Nursery, Reception and younger primary pupils can have their share of the fun too. Our Soft Play, Toddler Bouncy Castles and Play Parks provide alternatives to equipment intended for bigger children.
Didi Cars can add another activity for suitable younger age groups, while Soft Play Set provides a convenient option when you're putting together a dedicated play area.
Need Someone to Keep an Eye on the Class? We Mean the Equipment
For larger school events, we can also provide Event Staffing to manage suitable rides, games and attractions supplied by MK Bouncy Castles. Event Staffing has a minimum booking period of four hours and can be particularly useful when several activities are operating at the same time.
That means school staff can concentrate on the wider event while our team manages the appropriate hired attractions.
Everything Else on the School Supplies List
Inflatables might get most of the attention, but we can provide plenty of practical additions too. Tables & Chairs can help with seating, registration points, refreshments and activity stations, while Gazebo & Extras provides more equipment for suitable event setups.
For fundraising days and larger celebrations, combining different types of equipment can help divide the site into activity zones and give pupils more to do throughout the session.

Summer's Nearly Out, But Fun Is Still on the Timetable
The summer holidays might be preparing for their final bell, but that doesn't mean school entertainment has to pack its bags until next year. Autumn brings a fresh timetable of school events, fundraisers, reward days and celebrations, and we've got bouncy castles, games, sports activities, fun runs, soft play and event equipment ready for the new term.
So sharpen the pencils, find the missing PE trainers and get the school calendar ready. Browse our All Products or use Contact Us to talk to MK Bouncy Castles about equipment for your autumn school event.
Summer may be getting its report card, but the fun is definitely passing into the next term.
