Best for: parties and events needing castles, slides and extras

Kangaroo Castles in short

Kangaroo Castles is a Telford hire firm built for a bigger event, with castles and mega slides, obstacle courses, disco domes, soft play, gazebos and hot tubs, covering Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and the wider counties. Stated cover with yearly tests on castles and electrics makes it our judgement of a dependable slides-and-extras pick.

Customer reviews are exceptional, with five stars on Google across the reviews we hold — the deepest set in this round. PIPA testing is stated on the firm's own site, and delivery fees, an off-season code and multi-hire discounts are all written down. Kangaroo Castles suits you if the party needs more than a standard castle.

What counts against it is PIPA testing stated with no tag numbers to check on the register, and no VAT position published. Both are gaps on paper rather than marks against the events themselves.

Questions about Kangaroo Castles

Is Kangaroo Castles any good?

On our evidence, yes for bigger events: it sits third in our Telford table, holds five stars on Google across the deepest review set in the round, and goes well beyond the standard castle. PIPA testing is stated on its own site only, so read the limitations first. Send your event size and date to check availability.

Is Kangaroo Castles PIPA registered?

What does Kangaroo Castles charge?

Delivery fees by postcode area, an off-season discount code and multi-hire discounts are all stated, though no VAT position is published. Send your postcode and kit list, ask for the delivered total with any VAT shown separately, and check the code still applies.

Where does Kangaroo Castles work?

It hires across Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Shropshire and Staffordshire from its Telford base. If your venue sits on the edge of that patch, send the postcode with your enquiry to confirm delivery and any fee before you fix the date.
