If you are looking for some event inspiration just pop into our shop. We are open to the public and trade. Up up and away is a leading party supplies distributor based in Basildon, Essex. We have been running since 1990 and in that time have acquired one of the most diverse ranges of party supplies, gifts and balloons you will find anywhere in the UK! We work both with firms as well as retail customers, and we offer delivery to almost anywhere on the UK mainland. We are always bringing in fantastic new stock that we think looks great fun, or is perfect for the Season. We also like to run promotions from time to time on certain goods and services, so keep an eye out!

Meet Gary and his pride and joy... his pink Sebo hoover! 🌸✨

If you know Gary, you'll know he absolutely swears by Sebo hoovers. Not only are they built to last, but they're designed to be maintained properly too. One of Gary's favourite things about them is how many parts can be easily removed, cleaned and serviced, helping to keep the hoover performing at its best year after year.

A well-maintained hoover means better cleaning, a longer lifespan and fewer problems down the line. That's exactly why Gary won't use anything else!

Who's got a Sebo at home? Let us know what you think of them in the comments. 👇
