I'm having my little girl christened, and then I was planning on having her birthday/ christening party afterwards, in our local park.
I'm hoping to set up a gazebo, take my garden sofas and a few chairs for the older members of the party, and a barbecue (raised, so it obviously won't damage the grass) over there. I live 10 seconds away, but my house is far too small to accommodate the invitees.
Now I'm inviting people, I feel I should put something on for the older kids. I'm happy to spend 100 quid on a bouncy castle, but im wondering if I'm allowed to put this up in a public park?
I did email the council asking about the bbq and the gazebo, but they didn't get back to me. I've worked in a nursery for quite a few years, and I've heard of many parties that they've had in parks nearby where they've put a bouncy castle etc up (but not specifically in the park I've chosen).
Am I being unreasonable? The parks pretty big, but mostly dead on a Sunday afternoon (when the party will be). I don't mind if random kids chuck themselves on or even help themselves to the food - the more the merrier. Will a bouncy castle company allow themselves to put their equipment up in a public park? Do you think a member of the council will come along and give me a bollocking? Am I U to even be considering this?
