Behind the Scenes: Setting Up a Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Party in Mansfield

If you’ve ever attended a Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Party and wondered, “How did they pull this off?” — you’re not alone. From the outside, it might look like organised chaos, but behind the scenes, there’s a well-oiled machine making sure everything runs smoothly. Today, we’re giving you an exclusive look at how Bubble Boy Events sets up an unforgettable party in Mansfield — so you know what to expect when booking your own!

📝 The Booking Process

It all begins with a simple online booking through Bubble Boy Events. You choose your date, time, location in Mansfield, and preferred activities — Zorb Football, Nerf Gun Battles, or both! Once confirmed, the team coordinates with you to make sure the space is suitable, whether it’s a school field, sports hall, or park.

Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a confirmation and checklist outlining what’s included, what to expect, and tips to prepare your party guests.

📦 Packing the Party Van

Before the event, the team gets to work loading up the van with everything needed:

• Inflatable zorbs (also known as bubble suits)
• Football goals and cones
• Nerf guns and plenty of foam darts
• Inflatable barriers for the battlefield
• Safety goggles and bibs for teams
• First aid kits and extra equipment
• Portable speaker for music and announcements

Every item is checked for safety, cleanliness, and functionality to ensure a flawless event.

🚚 Arriving at the Mansfield Venue

Depending on traffic and location, the team typically arrives 30–60 minutes early to begin setup. Whether it’s at a local school like Samworth Church Academy or a community park such as Titchfield Park, they adapt the layout to the space.

The field or hall is divided into two zones:

• Zorb Football Pitch: Marked out with cones, goals at either end.
• Nerf Gun Arena: Set up with inflatable bunkers, start zones, and an area for instructions and briefings.

🔧 Safety First

Safety is the top priority. Once the equipment is in place, the staff conducts a final inspection of:

• Zorb suits: checked for secure straps and proper inflation
• Nerf guns: tested for smooth firing and reloading
• Barriers: arranged to provide cover while ensuring clear visibility for supervisors
• Playing surface: free of sharp objects or hazards

Goggles and briefing cards are prepared, and emergency contact info is confirmed with the party host.

🎉 Party Time: Game On!

Once guests arrive, the action begins! Here’s what the schedule might look like:

Warm-Up & Welcome (10 mins)

• Icebreaker games and group photo ops

Zorb Football Matches (30 mins)

• Team rotations
• “Last Zorb Standing” and “Goal Rush” mini-games

Break (10 mins)

Nerf Gun Battles (30 mins)

The staff guides the party, referees matches, and keeps the energy high with music and cheers.

🧼 Pack-Down and Cleanup

After the fun, it’s time to tidy up. All darts are collected, zorbs deflated, and any mess is cleaned to leave the venue as it was found. Most parties wrap up within 90 minutes to two hours, depending on the package booked.

Parents love that there’s no cleanup or stress involved — just happy kids and tired legs!
