PLANNING A BIRTHDAY, SCHOOL OR EVENT?
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.
No space to park outside your home? Find a nearby venue. If you have suitable parking and access at home, there’s no need to hire anywhere else.
Power: We need one standard plug socket for the gaming equipment. A second socket is only needed if you want air-conditioning or heating on. We bring 50-metre power leads. 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.
