Fun Food Hire in Leicester, Loughborough & Hinckley
Eventually, even the most enthusiastic child comes off the bouncy castle looking for a drink or something sweet. That's the point where refreshments stop being separate from the entertainment and start becoming part of the event itself.
BB Castle Hire provides candy floss and slush machine hire for birthdays, school events, weddings, charity days, corporate occasions and larger events in Leicester and Leicestershire.
They can sit alongside inflatables and games as part of a larger booking or provide an extra feature when you've already sorted the main entertainment and want something different to add.
Some Party Food Is Eaten. Candy Floss Is Watched Being Made.
That's part of what makes a Candy Floss Machine different from simply putting sweets on a table.
The sugar begins spinning, the candy floss starts forming and suddenly people nearby are paying attention. Making it becomes part of the experience before anybody has even started eating it.
Candy floss also brings a familiar fairground association to school fairs, fun days and children's parties, so it can fit naturally beside inflatables, games and other event attractions.
The Candy Floss Queue Can Become a Useful Pause
Children don't necessarily need another activity every second of the day. A busy party benefits from changes in pace.
After bouncing, climbing or playing games, heading over for candy floss creates a natural break before the next activity. At a larger event, it can also encourage people to move away from the main inflatable zone and towards another part of the site.
For smaller parties, our Bouncy Castle and Candy Floss Package provides a ready-made combination for customers who want both elements in the same booking.
Then There's the Slush Machine
On a warm event day, cold drinks can attract attention for an entirely different reason.
Our Slush Machine gives you a refreshment option that feels more like part of the occasion than an ordinary bottled drink. It can work at children's birthdays, school events, family days and other suitable celebrations.
If you're already planning inflatable entertainment, Slush and Bouncy Castle Package is another combination worth considering.
Don't Put Every Attraction in the Same Place
At a larger event, where you position refreshments can influence how people use the site.
Imagine a school field where the Assault Course, slides and other inflatables are all concentrated in one area. Putting refreshments immediately beside them can create another reason for people to remain in an already busy section.
Where the site allows, a separate refreshment point can give visitors another destination. Children use an attraction, move elsewhere for a drink or treat, then decide what they want to do next.
It's a small piece of event planning, but on a busy site those small decisions can make the layout work much better.
Birthday Party? Give Them a Reason to Come Off the Castle
At a children's birthday, the Bouncy Castle may understandably get most of the attention when everybody arrives.
Fun food gives you an easy way to change the focus later. Instead of expecting the same inflatable to carry the entire party, you can introduce food and drinks as another part of the afternoon.
That can work particularly well when you're planning a longer hire or combining several different types of entertainment.
School Fairs Already Have the Right Ingredients
A school fair often contains lots of small destinations: games, stalls, inflatables, refreshments and activities spread around the site. Candy floss and slush fit naturally into that format.
Rather than trying to make one attraction entertain the whole school, organisers can build a varied programme where pupils and families move between different activities during the event.
You could combine refreshments with Penalty Shootout, Football Darts, Garden Games or larger inflatable equipment, depending on the space and event plan.
Schools and PTAs can find more entertainment options through our School Events service.
Fun Food Isn't Just for Children's Parties
Candy floss and slush might immediately suggest children's events, but they can also fit into more informal entertainment at weddings, corporate family days, charity events and community occasions.
At a Wedding, fun food can provide a playful addition to other entertainment. At a Corporate Event, it can become one element of a family entertainment area rather than a formal catering service.
For fundraising and public occasions, you can also explore our Charity & Fundraising and Fun Day pages.
What About Autumn and Indoor Events?
Slush may naturally appeal most when the weather is warm, but fun food hire isn't limited to summer events.
Candy floss can fit neatly into indoor birthdays, school events and autumn celebrations, bringing some of the atmosphere associated with fairs and larger outdoor events into a hall or suitable indoor venue.
If you're planning an indoor party, you can combine refreshments with suitable inflatables, Soft Play & Ball Pool, games or other equipment without depending on garden weather.

Plan the Refreshment Area Before the Event Starts
Fun food equipment needs an appropriate place within your setup. Don't wait until everything else has been positioned and then try to squeeze the machine into whatever corner remains.
Consider where people will approach, where they will stand and how the refreshment point relates to tables, seating and the main entertainment. At larger events, keep important access routes clear and avoid placing different queues directly on top of one another.
If you're hiring several attractions, sketching out the rough event layout beforehand can help you decide where each part of the booking belongs.
No Convenient Electricity at the Event Site?
Power requirements should be considered when planning any electrically operated hire equipment, particularly on fields and larger outdoor sites where mains electricity may not be conveniently available.
Our Generator Hire options can provide alternative power for suitable BB Castle Hire bookings. Tell us what you're planning to hire and what facilities are available at the site so the overall requirements can be considered.
Already Booking Several Things?
If candy floss or slush is only one part of a much larger event, take a look at our Event & Package Deals. Packages can provide a useful starting point when you're considering several pieces of entertainment for the same booking.
For bigger school, company and community events, our Event Hire service covers the wider range of equipment available from BB Castle Hire.
