Party Hire for Older Children and Teens in Northfields, Bedford
Eleven is the age when children start telling their parents that bouncy castles are for little kids. Then they see a nerf range or a pole joust, and the party is back on. For families in Northfields, on the Bedford side near Kempston, Elstow and Brickhill, we hire activities built for older children and teenagers, with delivery, set-up and collection taken care of.
Nerf ranges for target practice
Older children love a target. The Twin Lane Nerf range has two lanes side by side, so friends can take turns hitting targets while the next pair waits. For a bigger group, the Tripple Lane Nerf range keeps three children busy at once. It is a calm, focused activity, which parents appreciate.

Inflatable games that keep score
Teenagers often prefer a game with points to free bouncing. The Football AND Darts (16ft) combines a giant dartboard with a football target, so players can kick a ball at the board. Our wider selection of inflatable games includes basketball, bowling and reaction games, and guests can keep a scoreboard going all afternoon.
A friendly pole joust
A pole joust puts two players on padded podiums with soft foam poles, and the aim is simply to keep your balance. It is lively and light-hearted, and everyone watching ends up laughing. Our staff can run it for you, which makes it a good choice for bigger parties.
Northfields activities that older children ask for
Nerf ranges, axe throwing and a gladiator arena give teenagers more to do than bounce.
Older Northfields children need kit made for their age
Children's bouncy castles have an age limit of 12, so a teenager's party needs inflatables made for older users. Bigger children on a small bouncy castle wear it out quickly and can hurt younger guests. Choosing a game or activity designed for their age keeps everyone safe and keeps the teenagers interested. Adults can join in on most of these games, too.
Younger brothers and sisters at a Northfields party
Teen parties often include a little brother or sister. Give them their own small bouncy castle or a hopper set at the other end of the garden, so they have fun without being in the middle of a busy game. The older group can then play at full pace, and nobody has to keep calling for them to slow down. It also means parents of younger guests have a reason to stay and chat.
Space, power and set-up
Most of these games fit in a standard garden. We need a flat area, a clear route from the road and a 240V socket within 50 metres. Hires run for up to seven hours. Each piece of equipment is inspected yearly, and our public liability insurance covers up to £5 million.
