Leave the kids at home – this bouncy castle is for the adults.

Hastings party firm The Madd Fun Company has had more than 800,000 views on social media of its newest bouncy castle, which features giant inflatable male genitalia.

Owner Dean Jamieson designed the castle over a few drinks two years ago.

‘‘We would get asked frequently what we have available for adults, for hen parties, or stag dos,’’ he said. ‘‘The words ‘Man, that’d be cool’ start coming out.’’ But Jamieson was terrified to advertise the bouncy castle because of the 3.25-metre-high phalluses – so he only advertised it on the company’s website.

It had been rented out about 13 times but this week he decided to post a photo of the bouncy castle on the company’s Facebook page.

Within days the post had been viewed more than 800,000 times and amassed more than 27,000 comments from people wanting to get their hands on the inflatable.

Jamieson has also been inundated with bookings and queries for the castle, with even people in Australia and as far away as Canada wanting to have a bounce.
