Bouncy Castles
East Huntspill Village Hall allows the use of bouncy castles under the following conditions
When booking the hall you must declare you intend to have a bouncy castle or similar inflatable.
This declaration will imply a commitment to make sure that the inflatable will be supervised at all time by someone over 18 & that public liability insurance will be provided either by the supplier or the hirer.
There is a restriction of one such item & an additional charge of £10 for the electricity.
Before the actual booking the hirer must confirm that insurance is in place & be prepared to provide evidence of this. Any responsible supplier will have insurance, but often their public liability insurance will only apply if they are present.
It is the responsibility of the hirer to investigate what cover is provided. Please note the hall insurance does not cover the use of bouncy castles & is only responsible for advising hirers they must put appropriate arrangements in place.
Supervision & Safety Instructions

Hirers are required to follow these instructions.
