Bubble Football in Blackpool

Blackpool Bubble Football

Who doesn’t enjoy a kickabout with the lads? But why not make things that bit more special by adding a hilarious twist to the beautiful game? Bubble Football in Blackpool gets you each wearing a big, inflatable, one-person zorb to run, jump, kick and roll around the pitch in teams, trying your hardest to shoot and score. Trust us, it’s harder than it looks as you’ll quickly discover. You won’t have your arms to balance as they’ll be tucked inside the zorb along with your head and torso, meaning your usual Premier League-worthy ball skills won’t be as sharp which makes this game a great leveller whether you’re a great player or have two left feet.

An event coordinator will run your game, splitting you into teams, helping you get into the zorbs and leading an energetic warm up to help you get used to the zorbs. Then it’s time to play. The rules are very similar to a regular game of footie except for one hilarious difference; to tackle, you’re going to bump, bounce, smash and crash into your opponents, hopefully sending them flying down the pitch!

Birthday or stag do zorb football in Blackpool

If you’re on the lookout for exhilarating birthday or stag do ideas in Blackpool, this lively and downright hilarious activity is a real people pleaser. After all, who wouldn’t enjoy running full pelt at their mates and watching them scatter like giant, inflatable beach balls? Make sure to stay alert because you never know who’s going to come and knock you over. You’ll all be in hysterics as some of you inevitably spend half the game flailing around on your backs like tortoises.

Once you get the ball, try to keep your cool as you dribble it towards the goal then shoot and score. The winning team get ultimate bragging rights for life but why not make things more interesting by dishing out some funny forfeits to the losing team?

What’s it like to wear a zorb?

It’s seriously funny! Your entire upper body will be encased, including your arms, head and torso, which makes balancing tricky. Basically, imagine you and your mates dressed as giant lollipops and you get the idea! Luckily, you can see through the zorbs so you don’t have to worry about running into walls or anything but you’ll still need to keep your wits about you for incoming attacks from the other team.

What should we wear to play?

There’s a hole in the top of the zorbs so you can breathe and get a bit of air but it’s still pretty hot inside them so we recommend wearing shorts and T-shirts that you can easily move around in. If you’re planning on hitting the town after this activity, it’s a good idea to bring a change of clothes as yours are likely to be very sweaty.

Do we need to bring anything with us?

You don’t need to bring anything along to your game of Blackpool zorb football other than your sense of humour and competitive spirit. All equipment is provided for you including the zorbs, ball, pitch and a referee who’ll make sure you play fair so just get your group together and turn up at the venue ready to have a blast.
