Bubble Football Northumberland: What Is It?

Bubble Football in Northumberland is an alternative and whacky way of playing the beautiful game. While wearing a Zorb-like inflatable bubble, players are encouraged to challenge, bounce and crash into each other while fighting to win possession of the ball. There is no room for fancy tricks/skills in Bubble Football, whether you are male or female regardless if you have never played football before anyone can play, no footballing ability required!

The session combines short matches with bubble games, so there is more to enjoy than scoring goals. Your coordinator explains the rules, referees the action and manages the rotations. This is hosted bubble football hire, not equipment left for your group to organise alone.

Zorb Football in Northumberland

Looking for zorb football in Northumberland? It is another name for the same activity, also called bubble soccer or body zorbing. Here, you play games on a suitable 3G pitch or grass pitch. It is not the downhill activity where people roll inside a large enclosed ball.

Our mobile setup means your group can stay closer to its chosen celebration or meeting place. Tell us your preferred town or postcode, rather than assuming you need to travel into Newcastle to play.

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 games such as mass kick offs, dizzy penalties and last team standing. The mix keeps the session varied rather than turning it into one long football 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. The minimum charge is for ten players, even if fewer attend. Ask for the total including any applicable venue or travel costs before confirming.

• 60 minutes: a compact activity slot for a smaller group, with matches and mini games.
• 90 minutes: more room for rotations when more than ten people want to play.
• 120 minutes: an option for larger groups or a longer programme of games.

Ten zorbs, goals, 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 stag do gives the group a shared activity before the evening begins. Friends who have not met before get involved through team games, without needing the organiser to referee. Hen groups can enjoy the same competitive format; it is not reserved for football fans.

If you are staying at a country house 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 are available from age eight, subject to suitable equipment fit and the session requirements. Tell us the youngest and oldest ages when you enquire. A birthday group of similar ages needs a different plan from a celebration mixing children, teenagers and adults.

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 can add an active break to a corporate away day or club event. Team games give colleagues something to do together beyond a meeting-room introduction. Goals, movement and coordination create a shared challenge without requiring everyone to be a confident footballer.

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 Northumberland? 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 Northumberland

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.

Northumberland Venues and Travel

Our mobile service covers Morpeth, Cramlington, Blyth, Ashington, Bedlington, Ponteland, Hexham and Alnwick. For rural or more remote addresses, send the full postcode so we can confirm coverage and arrangements. These are service areas, not a list of permanent venues operated by us.

A suitable grass pitch, 3G pitch or sports hall may work. Indoor bubble football needs enough clear playing space and suitable clearance; outdoor sessions need an appropriate surface. 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.
