    I enquired about it at my local and they would only order it for home delivery. They have all the info about it there though. I think it's only on offer until 29th and the 10% runs until 31st May

    I picked one up today! The bouncy castle looks like it is constructed similarly to a tent - i.e. groundsheet base, and nylon upper bits. But looks robust and should last a few years provided it isn't abused.

    The box (around 80cm cubed) is manageable to lift, and my local largish Woolworths (Staines) had quite a few stacked up around the store.

    The majority of the box is taken up with the air blower. The castle itself folding in to a suprising small bag.

    Unfolded it, tied the pump on, tied up the vent, switched the blower on, and within 30 secs had a fully working inflatable bouncy castle. Just a few tent pegs scattered around to hold it in place, and away the kids went.

    Doesn't have as much "bounce" as a commercial castle, and probably not suitable for older kids, but fine for 3-8 year olds. Our just over 1 year old loved it as it is less ridgey than a normal castle so she could practice running around and falling over to squeals of delight.

    When they finished, unplugged it, undid the vents, and had the whole thing packed away in less than 5 mins.

    On the whole would recommend it. The blower is nice and quiet, and the kids spent all afternoon on it. However you do need to have a mains supply available the whole time it is being used, AND the instructions suggest you don't use an extension lead, so unless your garden is within 10 metres of a mains point, you might struggle. Personally I don't see a problem with an extension lead provided it is fully unwound and is heavy duty (the blower is rated at 700 Watts).

    With all these things you MUST have an ECB fitted, Mains + Garden can be a little nasty without one!

    HTH - Rufus.
