The Cirencester Party Shop are experienced balloon decorators in the Cirencester and Cotswold area. We have a great eye for creating the most stunning colour combinations and displays. Use balloons to float across the ceiling of a marquee, to fill your limousine or to decorate your tables. For most events and as a starting point we recommend bunches of threes or fives as a centrepiece to a table or for filling the corners of your chosen venue. Choose a decorative balloon weight and the effect is simply stunning adding height and volume. Alternatively you might decide to opt for something different. Our bubble balloons (World balloon featured below) come in an exciting range of designs from butterflies to spring flowers and themed bubbles for new born, seasonal events and birthdays. We can double stuff balloons for slighly more unusal displays and create stunning arches from as little as £35.00.

Latex balloons, which last for about 24 hours, are slightly cheaper than the foil balloons and so you can splash out and have those extra few. Latex balloons are £1.00 each (plain) or £1.25 each (patterned). Foil balloons start at £2.75 each. Simple box weights or foil pyramids to secure the balloons cost £1 each. Balloon bouquets start at £6.50. These are ready made for you to pop on to your tables and each bouquet is individually bagged up for easy transportation. Ideally call us to arrange a time to discuss your event requirements. We can show you images in our catalogues and can quote you on the spot. We know many venues in this area and can advise on how best to decorate the room. We also hire out beautiful bunting and vases and can decorate your venue on your behalf.

Balloon Colours

We only use the best Qualatex balloons and stock most of the colours that you can view via these links. If we don't have them in stock then we can obtain them within a few working days. We are also the sole supplier of the wonderful 'Bubbles' range which you can view via the first link here below. These balloons are eye-catching, fun and will float for longer than the foils.

Hire of Balloon Gas

Through The Cirencester Party Shop you can also hire gas canisters to inflate your own helium balloons. This works out slightly cheaper and has the advantage in that you can prepare the balloons according to your time requirements.

A balloon-filling demonstration will be given to all clients (over 18s only). Orders need to be taken 7 days before your event and a £60 deposit will be required for each cylinder. You may keep the cylinder for 14 days. Late returns may incur penalty costs. Valves will be supplied on loan free of charge.

Important: Quality latex balloons should be blown up a few hours before the event. They will last between 10 and 18 hours. They should not be exposed to direct heat and may suffer as a result of being exposed to direct sunlight.

Balloon Releases

Whether it be for a wedding, a funeral or a balloon race as a fund raiser please ensure that you follow the correct guidelines. Only ever use latex balloons as these are 100% biodegradable. Never use ribbon or self sealing valves on your latex balloons. Never use foil balloons as these do not biodegrade and can injure wildlife. When supplying balloons for a release we always use raffia which will biodegrade. Please be sure to let us know your balloons are for releasing. Full advice can be given at the shop on 01285 885131.

Balloon Races

Our kit which is suffice for a minimum of 200 releases includes helium, 9" balloons of your chosen colour(s), a balloon net to store the balloons in before release (this alone can be a visually stunning display), hire of pegs to secure net to a grassy surface and full training and support. Free delivery to Cirencester (+ 5 miles). Cost £225.00. Sell your balloons for £2 each and raise a minimum of £175.00.

How to make the most of your helium balloons!

1) Latex helium balloons only last 18-24 hours so are therefore only suitable for use on the day they are inflated.

2) If purchasing unweighted balloons then you will need to secure them.

3) When arranging your balloons make sure that you do so in a low-ceiling room. This way if they escape you’ll be able to retrieve them.

4) Keep latex balloons in a well ventilated room until your event. Avoid putting them in a hot conservatory or marquee until the last minute.

5) Do NOT leave latex helim balloons in a hot car as they can expand and burst.

6) Balloons with HIFLOAT (see above) will last longer and are suitable for displaying the day after purchase.

7) Do not leave latex helium balloons in balloon bags after transportation to your chosen venue.
