Interview with a Party Host: How to Throw the Ultimate Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Party in London – Kensington Event

If you’ve ever wondered how those incredible, high-energy Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Party in London – Kensington seem to run so smoothly—like clockwork—you’re not alone. Behind the laughter, foam darts, and bubble bumping is the skill and strategy of experienced party hosts.

We sat down with Jay, a senior host at Bubble Boy Events, to get his expert tips on creating an epic combo party in London – Kensington that kids (and parents) will never forget.

🎤 Meet Jay – Party Host Extraordinaire

Q: How long have you been hosting parties at Bubble Boy Events?
Jay: I’ve been with the team for about 3 years now. I started part-time and absolutely fell in love with the energy of the events. Nothing beats seeing 20 kids laughing their heads off while running around in zorbs or dodging Nerf darts.

🏙️ Hosting Parties in Kensington

Q: What makes Kensington a great location for Nerf and Zorb parties?
Jay: Kensington is fantastic because it’s a mix of elegant parks and great community spaces. We’ve hosted parties in places like Holland Park, some private gardens, and even school sports halls. The area has a nice balance of indoor and outdoor options, which is super handy when the weather’s unpredictable.⚽ What to Expect from a Combo Party

Q: For parents who haven’t seen one before, what does a combo party look like?
Jay: Typically, we split the party into two parts—one hour of Zorb Football and one hour of Nerf Gun games. We start with a warmup and safety briefing, get them into the zorbs for fun games like Bulldog or Bubble Football, then transition to Nerf, where we set up inflatable bunkers and run battle-style games. It’s non-stop action.

🎯 Planning Tips from a Pro

Bubble Boy

Q: What’s your best advice for parents planning a party in Kensington?
Jay:

  1. Book early, especially for weekends and holidays—Kensington venues get snapped up fast.
  2. Choose a flat, open space—this makes setup smoother and ensures safe play.
  3. Invite guests to arrive 15 minutes early so we can start on time.
  4. Have water and snacks on hand—trust me, the kids will work up an appetite.
  5. Let us handle the fun! We’ve got the structure, energy, and experience.

🧠 Tailoring the Party to the Group

Q: What if the kids are different ages or skill levels?
Jay: We adjust everything. We’ve hosted for 6-year-olds and 13-year-olds—and everything in between. For younger kids, we focus on gentle games and lots of encouragement. For older ones, we might get a bit more competitive with time trials or Nerf tournaments. The key is inclusivity—every child should feel like they’re part of the action.

🛠️ Equipment, Safety & Set-Up

Q: What’s included, and how do you ensure safety?
Jay: Everything’s included:

  • Giant zorbs
  • Nerf guns and unlimited darts
  • Safety goggles
  • Inflatable bunkers
  • Game cones and props

We arrive early to set up, run all the activities, and pack down after. We do a safety briefing and explain the games clearly. Every host is trained to handle kids safely and keep things fair and fun.

🎉 Most Memorable Party in Kensington?

Q: Any standout events you’ve hosted here?
Jay: Definitely! One party in Kensington Gardens stands out. It was a joint party for two siblings—one loved Nerf, the other was crazy about football. We did a full Zorb obstacle course followed by team Nerf battles with custom flags and banners. The parents even hired a local ice cream truck for afterwards. The kids were buzzing, and so were we!

💬 Final Thoughts from the Host

Q: Anything else parents should know?
Jay: Yes—these parties aren’t just about blowing off steam. They build confidence, team spirit, and friendships. Even shy kids come out of their shells once the games start. We’ve seen kids walk in nervous and leave feeling like superheroes.

And from a practical side—we take the pressure off parents. You don’t need to be an event planner. You book it, show up, and enjoy the smiles.
