Perfect for.
Practical information.
Everything to know before the day.
When does it run?
Sundays at 10am, 12pm and 2pm. Private midweek sessions can be arranged by phone. Children's activities don't run on Saturdays.
When should we arrive?
30 minutes before your start time, for registration, teams and the safety briefing.
Who can play?
Children in School Year 3 and above. Eligibility goes by school year, so younger siblings can't join. Call if you're unsure.
What should children wear?
Comfortable old clothes, long trousers and trainers or boots with good grip. Layers in the cold, a change of clothes if it's wet. No sandals or sliders, and tie long hair back.
What if it rains?
Gelball normally goes ahead in ordinary rain. If we postpone for safety, you'll be offered another date or booking credit.
Participant Forms and Supervision
After booking, open your booking portal and share the participant form. A parent or guardian e-signs for each child before the party, and a responsible adult must stay on site throughout.
Booking and Payment
Online bookings are paid in full. Phone bookings can be secured with a £100 deposit, with the balance due the week before.
Changing or Cancelling
Cancel more than two weeks before your date for a full refund. Cancellations within two weeks aren't refunded. We'll always try to move your date if you ask, subject to availability.
Own Gelball blasters?
No. Only the park's Gelball equipment can be used during sessions.
Party Food and Rooms
Add party food for £5 per child (an XL hot dog, juice and crisps) in a private zombie-themed party room. Or hire a room for £30 and bring your own food. Birthday cakes welcome.
Accessibility
We've welcomed wheelchair users at Gelball before, but the zones have uneven ground and buildings. Call before booking so we can plan what's practical.
Don't just take our word for it.
