Rodeo Bull Hire Liverpool – Why We No Longer Offer Rodeo Bulls & Simulators
For over 15 years, SJ’s Leisure supplied rodeo bulls and simulator rides across Liverpool and the North West for birthdays, corporate events, university socials, school fun days, weddings, festivals, themed parties and large-scale public events.
Over the years, we have supplied events throughout Liverpool and Merseyside, working with customers ranging from private parties through to major organisations and venues. However, after careful consideration, we made the decision to stop directly offering rodeo bulls and simulator rides.
Why Did We Stop Offering Rodeo Bulls & Simulators?
Quite simply, the cost of supplying these attractions to the standards we believe customers deserve has increased significantly over the years.
Staffing costs, transport, fuel, maintenance, repairs, annual testing, insurance and compliance requirements have all risen substantially. Rodeo bulls and simulators are mechanically operated attractions involving moving parts and a greater level of operational responsibility, meaning the ongoing costs to supply them safely and professionally have become increasingly high.
When supplied properly and fully compliant — including staffing, insurance, tax, maintenance and testing — a quality rodeo bull or simulator hire in 2026 can realistically cost £600+ for a 3-hour hire, often before delivery costs are added.
For many event organisers, these costs can make rodeo bulls and simulators difficult to justify unless they are a key feature of the event. We found that many customers could still achieve the same fun, interaction and entertainment through alternative attractions that offered fantastic value and broad appeal.

These products are ideal for birthdays, school fun days, university events, corporate functions, weddings, festivals and themed parties — delivering plenty of competition, interaction and entertainment without the substantial running costs associated with mechanical simulator rides.
