A gaming bus party in Croydon gives the children their own space to play, right outside your chosen address. We bring the consoles and screens, and our host takes care of getting the games going.
They can play football on PS5, try Xbox or Nintendo Switch, use VR or race a friend on our two simulators. Every bus has fitted heating and air conditioning.
There is room for 16 players aged seven and over inside. An outdoor setup can add three more when the weather and space are right. Put your postcode in below to check the price and session options.
Check Price & Availability for Croydon
We have gaming birthday bookings at Croydon addresses in our local history. For families, bringing the gaming to the party means the children can play on board, then come back for food and cake at the same address.
We cover Croydon, South Croydon and Addiscombe, with enquiries welcome from elsewhere in the borough too. A town-centre venue and a residential driveway can have very different parking arrangements, so please send the complete address.
We will check the journey and proposed spot before you book.
Choose a few favourite games and leave room for the ones they discover on the day. Different screens mean the group can enjoy several activities during the same session.
PS5 gives football fans a place to play their own fixtures. Friends can compete in pairs or ask the host to help arrange the next match.
Move over to Xbox Series X for more multiplayer games. The host can help children find something that suits the way they like to play.
A Nintendo Switch race is easy to fit between other games. Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros give friends another reason to play together.
Our simulators come as two complete racing positions. Both players sit down with their own wheel and pedals and take part in the same race.
VR lets children try a different view of gaming. Ask which experiences suit their ages; our host will help with the equipment.
Where the venue has suitable space, the outdoor screen can be used for games such as Just Dance, karaoke or Mario Kart. Weather permitting, up to three can play outside.
If your Croydon event has a larger guest list, we can look at several gaming buses or a timetable of smaller groups. You do not have to fit everybody into one session.
Give us the numbers and ages, how long the event runs and the venue address. We will check the available vehicles, parking and electricity.
New bookings of two equally priced gaming buses save 20% on the second. The offer cannot be stacked with another discount.

You organise the birthday food; we arrive with the gaming equipment and host.
School reward days, leavers’ events and youth activities can all include time on the gaming bus. Separate sessions work well when different classes or age groups need their own turn.
For a Croydon school or community booking, send the day’s timetable and attendance. We can suggest session lengths and have the host run the games to that plan.
Choosing someone to run your child’s party is a big decision. The customer reviews give you a feel for how our team looks after the gaming.
Wes was incredible too — he was brilliant with the kids and made sure everyone was having a great time. Everything was well organised and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish.
We would definitely book them again and highly recommend them for a children’s birthday party. Thank you for making my son’s birthday so special!
You do not need to be the person fixing controllers, choosing teams and setting up screens. Our host runs the gaming so you can concentrate on the rest of the party.
Our Croydon birthday-booking history sits alongside gaming parties and organised events across our wider Essex and London service.
They race together, with a separate simulator for each child. That means two seats, two wheels and a shared head-to-head race.

Keep an indoor guest list of up to 16 children aged seven and over. The outdoor option adds up to three when it can run safely.
A group of up to 15 Fortnite players can join one match if the internet connection is strong and stable enough.

Planning Gaming Bus or Gaming Van Hire in Croydon
Before booking, choose a parking position with about 7.5 metres of legal space. Tell us about shared driveways, gates or any parking controls outside your address.
The gaming and climate control need two suitable power sockets. We bring 50-metre power leads and a 50-metre Ethernet cable for a suitable internet connection.
If the venue has no mains electricity, discuss £55 generator hire when you enquire, at least seven days ahead. We will confirm the power arrangements and any travel or road charges in your quote.
Popular Games on our Croydon Gaming Bus
A party does not need to stick to one game. Tell us if the group is keen on Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnite, football or kart racing.
We will help you plan a suitable choice for their ages. The racing simulators and Mario Kart are there for children who would rather race than play a football match.
Ask us about Purley, Coulsdon, Sanderstead, Selsdon, Shirley, Thornton Heath, South Norwood and Norbury as well as Croydon itself. We quote for the actual postcode, so check the location where your party will happen.
