Things you need to know: 

When you hire a costume from Behind The Mask we will ask you to look after it. Before you can take it from the shop we will also:

  • In lieu of a deposit we will ask you to leave a credit card imprint which details the full value of the costume you are hiring. We will not process this imprint unless you incur any of the service fees above.
  • Ask for payment of the applicable hire fee 
  • Request you to provide us with photo identification such as a drivers licence or passport
  • Ask you to sign the hire terms and conditions. These are also detailed below for you to read.

  1. Costumes remain the property of Behind the Mask (The Shop) at all times.

  2. A Photo ID  and proof of the Hirer’s address is required at time of booking.
