Carlisle Castles

Long post warning, worth it if you read to the end.

Well it’s been a long summer this year, we have been all over the place, from events all over Cumbria, Playscheme saw 730 children a day all week at British aerospace in Samlesbury, and over 1100 children a day everyday in leyland, many faces we recognise year after year.

The unfortunate event of my farther passing away while doing events down south to having events on the day of his funeral, this hit home hard and made us say “What the heck” he always said AIM HIGH and that’s what we’re doing.

Remember always AIM HIGH

we’re taking the plunge, we have a lot of new equipment and the plans are in motion.

Our followers will be the first to know when and where and the invites will be sent if we manage to pull this off.

The pictures we have added were given on Tuesday, we do get a lot of these and many cards from children, adults, and schools for what we do, you are all appreciated, your support, even through lockdown when we were not allowed to open but pubs were.

Thank you to all our customers and to our followers.

AIM HIGH
Comming soon

Thank you all the schools over the past few weeks, from discos to festival leaver’s parties.

Everyone had so much fun (including us)

With weekends at various events and many private hire inflatables the rain did not dampen spirits.

Yesterday down in south Cumbria for the first of the HAF events truly marks the first day of summer holidays.

The hospitality we received of food and drinks from everyone was appreciated, also many tips in various forms were a nice surprise.

Have fun everyone.

If you’re having an inflatable tomorrow (from us or not) please cover baby and toddler legs as the bed will be extremely hot.
Also flip the Matt’s over regularly.

Stay hydrated and have fun 👌

UPDATE ADDED
! It’s time !
Free competition
Yr6 leavers party to be won by any school within 20miles of
Carlisle.

Tag the school you want to win (in the comments) AND TELL US the reason why they should be the winners.

We have many Yr6 leavers parties booked so if one of these win, then they don’t pay.

If we get a lot of likes on this, then we will extend to the whole school (end of term party) but Yr6 get something extra added to there party, something we have not done in a school or have ever heard of in a school before…..

Tag and comment away, don’t forget to click that like for a chance of the whole school benefiting from this.

(Disclaimer… obviously, the school must agree and be able to fit this in their schedule otherwise we will compromise with them)

Good luck everyone.

Competition update

Those who have done what was asked (that’s all the posts we liked) will be printed off with the school name omitted, then shown to one of our staff (who is an assistant teacher) she knows all the children have worked hard for their SATS and it was very stressful for many.

She will be choosing the comment which she feels is the most deserving of why that school should win.

This is your last chance to get them comments posted of why they deserve this treat from us.

Good luck everyone.

The winning school will be contacted then posted, time is running out and you can comments your reasons multiple times should you wish.

If there are more likes than comments on the main post, we will extend this to the whole school with yr6 having something extra added to there treat day
