We have delivered a booking at Beis Rochel D’Satmar School in Hackney and a Hackney Carers event held at Ickburgh School. Hackney Carers organised that event; the school was the venue.

There is plenty to do across the bus. The host helps the group choose games and keeps play moving, while children can switch between consoles, racing and VR.
Football, co-op and competitive games on PlayStation 5. Tell us which titles the group likes before the party.
Xbox Series X gives children another set of games and a chance to play alongside friends on separate screens.
Mario Kart and other quick multiplayer games are easy for mixed groups to join and enjoy.
Two full racing positions, each with a wheel and pedals. Friends race head-to-head at the same time.
VR adds a different challenge. The host checks suitability for the players’ ages and the available space.
If there is safe space and suitable weather, up to three players can take part in outdoor activities. Inside capacity is up to 16 children aged seven and over; the outdoor setup can bring the total to 19.
For a school, HAF programme, club or larger event in Hackney, ask about more than one bus or timed groups. Each bus brings the same core setup. We will check vehicle availability, parking, power and a practical timetable before quoting.
For two equal-price gaming buses at the same event, the second bus receives 20% off its party price.
Standard parties start at £270 for 90 minutes Monday to Thursday, or £300 Friday to Sunday and bank holidays. Two-hour and selected three-hour bookings are available; Saturday three-hour slots may be restricted. London travel, ULEZ, tolls, parking or extras can change the total. We confirm the complete price and deposit before you book. See current prices and terms.

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!
