nerf parties

When school’s out and energy is high, every parent starts looking for ways to keep the kids busy, active, and happy. If you’re in London – Mile End, there’s one unbeatable party option that ticks all the boxes: a Zorb Football and Nerf Gun combo party with Bubble Boy Events.

Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, a half-term treat, or just need to break up the holiday boredom, this action-packed event brings together the best of fun, fitness, and foam darts.

Here’s how to throw an unforgettable combo party that kids will talk about for the rest of the holidays.

🎯 Why Combine Zorb Football and Nerf Guns?

The beauty of this combo is that it balances physical action with creative strategy. Kids can burn off energy, enjoy some friendly competition, and immerse themselves in two of the most engaging activities available.

⚽ Zorb Football

Think five-a-side football with a hilarious twist. Each player is strapped into a giant inflatable bubble (zorb), bouncing and rolling around the field trying to score goals. It’s as much about laughter as it is about sport.

🔫 Nerf Gun Battles

Armed with foam blasters and eye protection, kids split into teams and take on structured missions—think Capture the Flag, Team Tag, and Base Defense. It’s like a live-action video game, minus the screen time.

Together, they make for a perfect 90–120 minute party that keeps kids active, social, and smiling.

📍 Step 1: Choose a Suitable Location in Mile End

Mile End has plenty of great spots for an outdoor or indoor combo party. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Mile End Park – Large open spaces ideal for zorbing and Nerf zones.
  • Local community halls or church venues – Great for weatherproof party options.
  • School playgrounds or sports fields – Many schools rent out space during holidays.
  • Private gardens or club grounds – Perfect for a more intimate setting.

Don’t worry if you’re unsure—Bubble Boy Events can help you choose the best location and check space requirements.
