About the bucking bull
The bucking bull is one of the most talked-about party entertainment options in the Jump About range. Riders sit on the mechanical bull inside a padded inflatable arena, hold on tight, and see how long they can last while the operator controls the speed and movement of the ride. The inflatable surround catches riders safely when they come off. It is the kind of hire that draws a crowd and keeps guests coming back for another go.
It suits bucks parties, hens nights, 18th and 21st birthdays, corporate days, community fundraisers, and school fetes where you need something that gets every guest involved. The operator stays with the bull for your full hire, so you do not have to manage a thing. You organise the event, and we run the ride.

Delivery and setup
We handle everything from arrival to pack down. Our team delivers the bull and inflatable arena to your venue or backyard, sets up the equipment, runs a safety check, and then operates the ride for your full hire window. You provide a flat area of 7m x 7m minimum and 2 standard 240V power outlets within 15 metres. Clear the area of hard items and pointed objects before we arrive. Setup takes 30 to 45 minutes, so we get there before your guests do.
We deliver to more than 340 suburbs across the Central Coast, Newcastle, and Hunter Valley, including Gosford, Erina, Tuggerah, The Entrance, Terrigal, Charlestown, Maitland, and Cessnock. Your delivery fee is a separate charge selected by suburb at checkout. To see how our hire process works, visit our how it works page.
Safety and insurance
Every bucking bull hire includes an experienced operator who controls the speed and movement of the bull throughout your event. The inflatable arena surrounds the riding area so riders land on a padded surface, not the ground. Our team clears the setup area of hard items and pointed objects before inflating the equipment, runs a safety check, and walks you through the key points before the first rider gets on. Riders must be 8 years and up. Jump About carries public liability insurance for every hire. In strong winds or rain, we will contact you and reschedule if the equipment cannot be used safely.
