Waterfront Parties
One advantage of Fareham and Gosport: coastal locations. Some ideas:
- Hill Head beach - bouncy castle on the grass area behind beach
- Lee-on-the-Solent - grass areas near seafront work well
- Titchfield Haven - beautiful backdrop for summer parties
Note: Beach parties need careful planning - you can't put inflatables on sand. Use the grassy areas behind beaches.
Getting Multiple Quotes
Because Fareham/Gosport sits between Portsmouth and Southampton hire companies, you have access to businesses from both directions. This means:
- More competition = better prices
- More availability, especially weekends
- Wider choice of equipment
Always get 2-3 quotes. Mention you're comparing prices - some companies match competitors.
Weather Considerations
Coastal areas can be windier than inland. Bouncy castle rules:
- Must be deflated if wind exceeds 24mph
- Sea breezes can pick up in afternoon
- Check forecast morning of your party
- Companies will call you if conditions look unsafe
- Consider disco domes - enclosed, so better in breezy conditions
Local Tips
Parking
Fareham town centre has good parking (some free on Sundays). Gosport High Street parking is limited but free on Sundays. For home parties, warn neighbours if you're expecting lots of cars.
Delivery Access
Some older Gosport streets are narrow. Make sure delivery vans can access and that there's a path to your garden that doesn't involve going through the house.
Power
Inflatables need constant power. Outside sockets are ideal. Extension through a window works. Generator hire is £30-50 if you have no power access.
