How the Gaming Bus Works
Booking Essex Gaming Bus is simple. We travel to your home, school or venue, set everything up and host the party from start to finish.
Parking: Our gaming bus is 7.5 metres long, roughly the size of 2.5 cars, so we need suitable parking close to your address.
Power: We need access to two standard plug sockets within reach of our 50-metre leads — one for the gaming equipment and one for the air-conditioning. A generator can be hired for £55 if required and arranged in advance.
Booking: Use our enquiry form or call 07342 920644 to check availability and secure your preferred date.
Deposit: An £80 non-refundable deposit secures your booking, with the remaining balance due seven days before your event.
Weekend slots fill quickly, so book early to secure your preferred party date.
GAMING PARTIES FOR AGES 7+, TEENS & ADULTS
Our standard Essex Gaming Bus parties are recommended for children aged 7+. We also offer a separate gaming option for six-year-olds, with a parent or guardian remaining throughout the party.
Tell us the age group and favourite games when booking and we’ll tailor the game selection and setup accordingly. Teen and adult gaming parties are also available.

Everything was extremely well organised, and the children had an amazing time. The host was friendly, knowledgeable and brilliant with the children, making sure everyone was included and having fun throughout the session.
The setup was impressive, the equipment was excellent, and the whole experience was professional and hassle-free. It was great to see the children so engaged and enjoying themselves.
We’d happily book Essex Gaming Bus again and would highly recommend them to any school, HAF provider or organisation looking for a fun, high-quality activity. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stuart was fantastic—calm, patient, and brilliant with the children. He kept everyone engaged, made sure every child had a turn, and handled everything so smoothly that the party was completely stress-free for us. He created such a fun atmosphere and made the birthday boy feel special.
The Gaming Bus itself was clean, well organised, and packed with games the kids loved. I
wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, hassle-free party. Thank you, Stuart, for helping make my son’s 10th birthday so memorable! 😍🎉🙌

Great services and very helpful
We had the Gaming Bus come to Stambridge, Essex for my son’s birthday and it was absolutely fantastic!
Our host, Saleem, was amazing from start to finish. He was friendly, informative and absolutely brilliant with all the boys!! He helped them throughout the session, joined in with the games and made sure everyone was included and having fun.
The boys had an incredible time and I’m sure they’ll remember this experience forever! As an extra surprise, my son Freddie was given a sweet cone at the end, which I wasn’t even expecting and it was such a lovely finishing touch to a brilliant experience.
I would 1000% recommend the Gaming Bus to anyone whose children love gaming! It was well organised, stress free and a huge hit with all the kids. Thank you SO much for helping make my Fred’s birthday so special! 🎮🎉😊
Get booked in, you will not regret it!! 🎮⚽
Sarah, our host, who was incredible. She was so friendly, patient, and great with the kids—she made sure everyone got a turn and was having fun.
The kids had the best time, and my son said it was his “best birthday ever.” I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, stress-free party idea. Huge thanks again to Sarah for making it such a memorable day!
We booked the game bus for my son’s 10th birthday and couldn’t be happier. The setup was amazing, with a great range of games that kept all the kids entertained.
A big thank you to Joe and Sarah, who were friendly, professional, and made everything run smoothly. The whole experience was easy and stress-free for us as parents.
