Our Nerf events are always popular, and our session for younger kids last week was brilliant! Here are a couple of reviews about this session-

” We attended the Nerf Skirmish session today. It was extremely well organised and everyone was very friendly. Would thoroughly recommend and will definitely book again.”

” My 5 year old son attended the recent Nerf skirmish and absolutely loved it can’t wait for more! Thank you so much.”

You can book your space(s) by clicking HERE and completing the form. Early booking is recommended, as the last session sold out. Spaces cost £8 per child. You can also hire a Nerf gun on the day if you don’t have your own, for £2 extra.
