Epic party for kids of all ages!5*
James hosted a gaming party for my son who was turning 8. 14 kids on board and it was epic they had the best time playing games together and the set up onboard has all the skins, and extras you can imagine, much more than anyone has at home so it makes it even more exciting for the kids. It's a really easy party to have as a parent as they do it all for you and the kids are on the bus not in the house! I would highly recommend! All the kids left saying they want a gaming bus party for their birthdays. Thank you James!

The best (and easiest) party i have ever thrown. Booking was super convenient, I got an instant quote through the website and then was contact via WhatsApp a few hours later to book.
On the day, james arrived with the gaming van, the only set up needed my end was to plug two cables in and james handled everything from there.
A whole load of boys enjoying themselves gaming on the van and myself sat on the sofa with a coffee having the quietest 2 hours ive had all week!!
No cleaning up needed and I think the boys will be talking about this one at school for weeks!!

The BEST Party idea.
This is the second year having the gaming bus for my sons birthday. He absolutely loved it and so did his friends, lots of excited shouting and giggles were coming from the van. Setup was really easy and everything was on time as communicated. Vicky was incredibly helpful when I first had issues trying to book. Highly recommend these guys everyone has been so lovely and made it totally worth the money 😍 👌

Fantastic!! Seamless and a hit with the kids
Such an easy and smooth process from start to finish! Vicky was so helpful and informative in arranging the party and explaining the process and Steve was fantastic with the party itself. The kids even knew him from being at other parties in the area. Kids had a great time and above all else I didn’t have 16 kids in the house 😂 thanks so much!! Wouldn’t hesitate to use again and have already had people ask me to forward them the info for their children’s parties!
