Saw this. If it is inflatable and you had an indoor morris troop then they could end up bouncing off the cielings. Not a venue for darts though.

Must get one for the garden!





Blow-Up Pub Comes in Draught

By Liam Creedon, PA News


The world's first fully-functioning inflatable pub will be unveiled to the public this weekend, it was revealed today.

The blow-up mock Tudor pub, complete with lattice windows and fireplace, measures 40ft long, 19ft wide and 22ft high and can house up to 100 drinkers.

The drinks marquee with a difference can be erected in ten minutes by two small blowers and can support lighting and a sound system.

Designer Andi Francis, 51, who runs inflatables company Airquee, worked on the pub design for nine months.

Andi said: "We wanted to create a drinks marquee with a difference and to create something that epitomised Britain, so what better way to do that than with the Great British Pub.

"The inflatable pubs can be customised so that they serve drinks like a fully working pub, we've already had interest from Hong Kong and China."

He's planning to export the pubs overseas where they will sell for between £23,000 to £25,000.

Andy has already gained a place in the record books by designing the world's first inflatable church.

A spokeswoman for the Guinness Book Of Records said that the inflatable pub would be a world first if proved.

She said: "It is a category that we consider and we look forward to receiving evidence of it."

The pub goes on display this weekend at Bristol's Ashton Court, as part of the International Festival of Kites and Air Creations.

Isn't this what you Brits call a "bouncy castle"?

(In Americanese, that's a Space Walk.)

This site has an inflatable church, an inflatable pub, an inflatable nightclub and an inflatable marquee. They seem to be working on that site at the moment, so not all the links on it are set up properly, but you can see some of it.

Just goes to show what an incredible effect "inflation" can have on society. At least the thought of bouncing off a pub wall rather than crashing into it is a sobering thought.
Hey and the thought of getting married in an inflatable Church.....to an inflatable partner??
Best wishes.
