Welcome to The Party Hut's Delivery and Collection Info Hub! 🎉
Here you’ll find everything you need to know about how we get your balloons, backdrops, and party décor where they need to be—on time and in perfect condition. Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, baby shower or corporate event, we’re here to make your party prep as stress-free as possible.
🎈 Delivery
We offer local delivery throughout Cheltenham and surrounding areas (up to 20 miles).
Delivery charges range from £4.99 to £49.99, depending on distance, journey time, and whether return collection is needed for props or balloons after your event.
Our delivery fees are based on:
- National government mileage standards, with a minimum rate of 45p per mile (for the first 100 miles).
- National minimum wage per hour for the time our team spends delivering, installing, and collecting your party items.
This ensures our pricing remains competitive while fairly covering transport and time involved for safe, reliable service.
- Delivery is available Monday–Saturday, with limited Sunday slots for larger bookings.
- Time windows are arranged in advance—please ensure someone is present to receive the delivery.
- Contactless delivery available upon request.
💡 Why not combine your balloon delivery with a hired backdrop or prop?
🎁 Pair your delivery with a personalised balloon bouquet for an extra special touch!
🛠 Installation & Care:
Balloon Columns and Arches
Balloon columns, arches, and garlands are installed with care to ensure they last for your event.
- Outdoor installs are weather-dependent and not guaranteed to last in wind or rain.
- Please avoid placing arches near sharp edges, radiators, or direct sunlight.
- For indoor use, most balloon arches and columns will last 2–3 days or more.
✅ We recommend choosing an indoor location for best longevity.
📸 Be sure to take photos early before any balloon changes over time!
🎉 Installation & Collection:
Balloons, Props, Backdrops & Light-Up Numbers
For events requiring larger installations, we offer full setup and optional collection services.
- Setup is arranged in advance based on venue access and event timings.
- We’ll require parking and easy access to the installation area.
- Props, light-up numbers, and backdrops are for hire only and must be returned or collected.
🕐 Collection slots are arranged after your event and must be confirmed at booking.
🔌 For light-up numbers, please ensure a nearby power source is available.
🧹 Collection & Removal of Large Installations
We offer a hassle-free collection service for larger décor items and hired props.
