Good to know
- Power: Council power is only available where there's an outlet, and it has to be arranged with your booking at $31.55 per outlet per day. Otherwise, add a generator to your hire.
- Pegs and surfaces: Council's park guidelines don't say whether pegs are allowed, so check with Council when you apply. Tell us whether the castle is going on grass or a hard surface so we can bring sandbags if needed.
- Weather: Bring shade and plenty of water on hot days. We can't run castles in strong wind or rain.
