Bubble Football Newcastle

Bubble Football Newcastle: What Is It?

Bubble Football in Newcastle, also known as Zorb Football, puts an inflatable twist on the traditional game. It is the same activity people often mean when searching for Zorb Football in Newcastle. Players wear large body bubbles while running, passing and trying to score. Challenges, rebounds and unexpected tumbles make the session entertaining even when nobody can remember the score.

You do not need football experience to take part. The bubbles make fancy footwork difficult, placing regular players and complete beginners on far more equal terms. Short matches are mixed with mini-games, including Last Man Standing, Kings and Dizzy Penalties.

Bubble Football is suitable for players aged six and above. Participants should be approximately 130cm tall or taller and weigh no more than 22 stone for the bubbles we use. We can host games for as few as eight players, with no fixed maximum group size. Larger parties rotate between games, and we can tailor the format to your numbers.

An event coordinator explains the rules, referees the games and manages the rotations. We bring the activity to a suitable Newcastle venue, while nationwide bookings can also be considered. Send your chosen postcode or preferred area so we can confirm travel, access and playing-space requirements.

How a Bubble Football Session Runs

First comes the briefing: how to use the equipment, move in a zorb and follow the contact rules. Your event coordinator explains each game before it starts. Listen to their instructions throughout; the bubbles cushion contact but do not remove the risk of injury.

Football matches sit alongside mini-games such as Mass Kick Offs, Last Man Standing, Kings and Dizzy Penalties. The mix keeps the session varied rather than turning it into one long match. Game selection and matchups depend on the group and the coordinator's assessment.

We use ten zorbs, with up to ten players taking part at once. Larger groups rotate between games, giving everyone breaks as well as playing time. When enquiring, give us the total number who want to play, not just the number in each team.

Prices, Session Lengths and What Is Included

Bubble football prices start from £25 per person. The final quote depends on your group size, chosen duration and venue location. Sessions can be arranged for groups from eight players. Ask for the total including any applicable venue or travel costs before confirming.

• 60 minutes: a compact activity slot with matches and mini-games.
• 90 minutes: more room for rotations and a wider mix of games.
• 120 minutes: an option for larger groups or a longer programme of games.

Ten zorbs, balls, bibs and an event coordinator are included. There is no single duration that suits every booking: numbers, ages and the rest of your day's plans all matter. Send those details and we can help you choose.

Stag and Hen Groups

A Bubble Football Newcastle stag do gives the group a competitive activity before heading into the city. Friends who have not met before quickly mix through team games, while the organiser can join in because an event coordinator handles the rules and refereeing.

Hen groups can enjoy the same format, and it is not reserved for football fans. Choose teams, nominate the most competitive players for the challenges and leave enough time afterwards to change before the next part of your Newcastle plans.

If you are staying at a hotel, hired venue or holiday property, ask the owner before planning an activity on the grounds. A lawn is not automatically suitable for zorbs. We need to check the playing space and access before you commit to that venue.

Leave time after the session to change and travel to your next booking. Players should arrive sober and save alcohol for afterwards.

Children's Bubble Football Parties

Children's bubble football parties in Newcastle are available from age six. Players should be approximately 130cm tall or taller and weigh no more than 22 stone. Tell us the ages and approximate heights when enquiring, particularly for a younger birthday group.

Under-18s need a parent or guardian to sign the consent form before taking part. Ask about suitability before sending invitations if anyone has a health concern or additional requirement. Do not assume that every guest can join simply because they meet the minimum age.

For a birthday party, separate the activity slot from food and cake time. Check whether your venue has a suitable area for refreshments and somewhere for parents to wait. The quote covers the activity details agreed with you; do not assume party catering or a room is included.

Corporate Events and Team Building

Bubble football team building in Newcastle gives colleagues a shared challenge outside the normal workplace. Teams communicate during matches, adapt to the bubbles and compete through several short games. Football ability matters far less than teamwork, effort and a willingness to laugh at yourself.

For workplace groups, check who wants to participate before settling on the activity. This is a physical contact game, not a suitable choice for every colleague. Share any access or participation needs when requesting a quote so the proposed plan reflects your actual group.

Planning a wider team-building day in Newcastle? Ask about a second activity and the time needed between sessions. Confirm space, equipment and age requirements for each activity rather than assuming one pitch suits everything.

Other Activities Available in Newcastle

Keep bubble football as the main event or ask about combining it with another activity. We also host Combat Archery, Goggle Football, Dodgeball and Old School Sports Day. Availability and suitable combinations depend on your group, venue and date.

Combat Archery

Combat Archery combines bows and foam-tipped arrows with team challenges. It offers a change from football, with aiming and teamwork at the centre of the action. Ask about the equipment, age requirements and space needed for your group.

Goggle Football

Goggle Football uses vision-distorting goggles to make judging the ball and lining up a kick much trickier. It keeps the football theme while changing the challenge. It is a separate activity from playing inside a body zorb.

Dodgeball

Dodgeball swaps goals for throwing, dodging and catching in team games. It is worth considering when your group wants competition without another football-based session. Check the proposed format and suitability for the ages attending.

Old School Sports Day

Old School Sports Day brings familiar sports-day-style races and team challenges into your event. Ask which games are available for your booking. It can provide a different focus for a celebration or team day, alongside the bubble football action.

Newcastle Venues and Travel

We are located at Kenton Park Sports Centre NE3 3LL, but depending on availability we may be able to travel to a venue of your choice with our mobile service. We have hosted events in areas including Gosforth, Jesmond, Heaton, Fenham and the wider Tyneside area. We also travel throughout the North East and can consider nationwide bookings. Send the full postcode so we can confirm coverage, access and travel arrangements. These are service areas, not permanent venues operated by us.

A suitable grass pitch or 3G pitch work well. Venue permission and our suitability check are important, even if the space is already used for ordinary football.

• Send the venue name, postcode and any available details about the playing area.
• Check that the venue permits bubble football and can accommodate equipment access.
• Confirm toilets, changing facilities, parking and spectator arrangements with the venue.
• Agree the booking window, including any setup and pack-down access required.
• Ask about weather arrangements before booking an outdoor space.

If you have not chosen a venue, tell us where your group will be based and we can help you explore suitable options. Confirm the activity and venue together before paying for a pitch or hall. For guests travelling separately, share the exact entrance and meeting point rather than just the town name.
