Managed to squeeze me in for a Catboy character visit with not much notice for my sons 4th Birthday Party. Punctual, friendly and I would definitely recommend a character visit for any children's party - kids love it! Thank you Riviera Mascots

Absolutely top notch, arrived early to set up for my little girls birthday and bang on time to take away, cannot fault the professional service and they have everything you could possibly need. The inflatables are high quality and safe along with all the extras. Nothing is too much trouble and I would highly recommend Riviera events. If I could give 6 stars I would ******

We had the angry bird castle and didi cars for my sons 5th Birthday party. Ant was very helpful in making sure the castle would fit in the hall we hired and he kept us informed up to our party. On the party day Ant provided a very quick, informative and efficient service. We will definitely use Riviera Mascots in the future. Thank you Ant

Brilliant company. Would recommend to anyone. They turned up early, and had everything set up quickly. When it was out time finished, they were not pushy, and turned up when agreed and silently left me to get on with closing my party down. Equipment was in good condition and everything was clean.

Asked for a slot for an Elf visit - Anthony went out of his way to accommodate us. Arrived bang on time and kids both amazed by him. Costume amazing and so realistic in mannerisms. Absolutely recommend- worth every penny for their faces and excitement well after Elf left. Thank you!

Hse Approved Safe Operator

***SAFE OPERATOR ALERT ***
Yesterday we successfully completed the HSE recognised PIPA training course (that is designed to test your knowledge on the safe set up and operating procedures of inflatables) with a 100% pass rate on both modules.
The main parts of the course was, setting up in a safe area, making sure all fall off points are matted, safe wind speeds, outside anchoring and risk assessments to list a few.
We pride ourselves on always being a safe hirer from day 1 and have a moral compass that your safety is paramount before our profits and why we cancel outside bookings based on wind gust forecasts, soft grounds and other reasons not passing risk assessments.
We are 1 of 2 companies based in the bay to hold this qualification.
So when hiring from any inflatable hire company you should be asking to see that:
- This course has been completed.
- Insurance policy is in force.
- The inflatable you're hiring has been annually tested and is in date ( the insurance policy is invalid if it has no test on it).
- Ask for the PIPA tag number of the castle and that way you can view the report and test online to check it's in date.
- PAT tested electrical equipment.
- Risk assessments.
If any of the above cannot be provided, then ask yourself "is who you're hiring from worried about the safety of you and your guests and are they doing the job properly"
When hiring from Riviera Events...
- HSE approved qualified safe operator
- PIPA tested inflatables
- Insured
- PAT tested equipment
- First Aid trained
- Manual Handling trained
- Defibrillator trained
- The only company to carry a Defibrillator on our van
