Sydney's Costume Hire listings are expanding – check back often for new suppliers.
Want to know who you're dealing with? Some listings for Costume Hire include a Meet the Team section.
It's easy to think of costume hire as a Halloween-only category, but in Sydney the bulk of the bookings come from theme nights year-round – 80s and 90s throwbacks, Melbourne Cup, hens and bucks weekends with a dress code, and office Christmas parties with a costume brief. Suppliers stock everything from full character and mascot suits through to individual accessories, wigs and props, so you're not stuck sourcing ten different costumes yourself.

No – in Sydney most bookings actually come from theme nights year-round, including 80s and 90s throwbacks, Melbourne Cup, hens and bucks weekends with a dress code, and office Christmas parties.
A single costume or accessory typically hires for $40 to $90 for the weekend, while a full character or mascot suit runs $100 to $200, reflecting the extra cost of maintaining and cleaning specialty pieces.
Not guaranteed – popular sizes in a specific costume can sell out well ahead of Halloween or Melbourne Cup, so it's worth checking availability early.
Most suppliers offer a lower per-head rate for bookings of five or more, so it's worth asking if you're kitting out a hens group or office team.
Ask how firm the return deadline is, since standard hire is usually priced for the weekend and a late return can affect the bond.
Many suppliers hold a bond against damage, so confirm the amount and what condition the costume needs to come back in, along with how the cleaning and return process works.
Generally yes, since the discount is usually applied across one group order – confirm this with the supplier before assuming everyone booking separately still qualifies.
Earlier than feels necessary – popular sizes in specific costumes sell out well ahead of these peak dates, so booking a few weeks out is safer than waiting until the week of the event.
