Kent party directory
A mobile gaming van brings the party setup directly to your home, school or venue. Vehicles vary considerably in size, player capacity, consoles, party length and the areas they are prepared to travel to.
This guide gathers useful information in one place so that families can create a shortlist before checking availability directly with an operator.
Details can change. Always confirm current pricing, travel charges, availability and party requirements before booking.

Local coverage
Travel areas vary between operators. Providing your full postcode is normally the quickest way to confirm coverage and any additional travel charge.
Before you enquire
The cheapest headline price is not always directly comparable. Check what is included in the complete package.
Ask how much level parking space the vehicle needs and whether it can safely access your road or driveway.
Some vehicles require access to a household power socket, while others can provide a generator.
Check how many guests can actively play at the same time, rather than the total number allowed at the party.
Confirm whether your postcode is covered by the standard price or whether an additional mileage charge applies.
Discuss the guests’ ages and preferred games, including any age ratings or multiplayer requirements.
Ask who hosts the party and confirm the operator’s insurance, safeguarding and supervision arrangements.
