Why book us for your communion party
- Communion-Saturday specialists — we’ve been doing communion bookings across Galway since 2009. We know what works on a busy first-week-of-May Saturday with 30 kids running around in good clothes.
- Fully insured — public liability cover for every event. Your venue, parish hall or relative’s garden may require proof. We’ll provide it.
- Free delivery, setup and collection across Galway City and County — Athenry, Tuam, Loughrea, Kinvara, Gort, Bearna, Moycullen, Craughwell, Ballinasloe, and the surrounding villages. We arrive in plenty of time before guests, set up safely, and collect when the party’s done.
- Weather-proof units with rain covers — Irish May weather is unpredictable. Every castle has a built-in rain cover. If conditions are unsafe (high wind, persistent heavy rain) we make the call on the morning and offer a full refund or a free reschedule.
- Castles sized for typical Irish back gardens — 14×12ft to 17×15ft footprints fit most communion-day gardens. Larger combi units available for shared family events.
Communion castle options
- Standard bouncy castles (14×12 or 17×15) — perfect for 6–10 kids around communion age, plus their cousins.
- Combi units — bouncy castle + slide combination, the most popular communion-party choice. Keeps mixed-age cousins occupied for hours.
- Super slides — large-format inflatable slides for big-statement communion bookings.
- Disco / novelty themed castles — unicorn, dragon, princess and disco-dome variants if your communion girl/boy has a favourite theme.

Communion-day FAQ
How early do you set up on the day?
We aim to have the castle inflated, anchored, safety-checked and ready 30–60 minutes before your guests arrive. Tell us your kick-off time at booking and we’ll work back from there. For 2pm communion-cake guests, we typically arrive 12:30–1:00pm.
Will the castle stain my child’s communion dress / suit?
Our castles are professionally cleaned between every event. We use commercial-grade cleaners and inspect every unit before setup. The chance of a clean white communion dress getting marked is low/medium — but for 100% peace of mind, encourage the kids to do their bouncing in casuals after the family photos.
Is there a deposit?
For communion Saturdays we ask for a holding deposit at booking, with the balance on delivery. Call 087 318 8432 for the current rate and any communion-season packages.
