Childrens Wristband Fairs
Our primary fan base stems from our renowned 'Children's Wristband Fairs,' offering an enjoyable family day out.
While headquartered in Bedford, we frequently venture to other towns and villages.
Following the success of 2024, we are sticking to our roots and hosting fan favourite events in various locations, including the traditional wristband fairs in Bedford, and potentially some additional events & locations in 2025.
Expect 17 exciting wristband fairs across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and Buckinghamshire, with some events open for over 10 days straight!
We're on the lookout for new venues! If you have an open space and are interested in hosting us, please reach out.
The base price for our wristband fairs is £11, providing access to 11-13 rides, attractions, inflatables, games, 4 catering units, and on-site toilets.
A higher ticket price indicates more attractions, a different style event or an all-day pass, ranging from 14-19 different experiences
We also host birthday parties at our childrens fun fairs! They are great value as you get access to all of our wonderful rides, attractions and inflatables, as well as a giant marquee to hold your celebrations like cutting the cake!
Every child will also get a meal, drink and dessert. You can also theme your party tent to your liking. Come down before the event starts and you can have as much time as you like getting ready. If you would like to know more about having your child's birthday party at Gumbles, please get in contact with us!
All of our childrens events are from 12 in the afternoon until 6pm. We have two 3 hour sessions (12pm-3pm and 3.15pm-6.15pm). To avoid queuing at the gate, we recommend that you arrive 10 to 15 minutes early.
Queuing times for rides vary depending on how busy each session is. We recommend you queue for the longer queuing rides first so you don't miss out if your session ends.
We have these events planned all throughout the year. More in depth information about these can be found on our Facebook page. You can also find a wide range of other useful and interesting posts about these events, and many others that we are doing. Make sure you like and follow us, as you can be the first to find out about new events, and exciting special offers and even free giveaways!
We love to give back to the families that come and visit us every week! That's why we give away free wristbands to very lucky winners who like and share our event pages and posters. Again, more information about our giveaways can be found on our Facebook page!
We have many family events coming this year, and on our home page you can find the countdown timer until our next one!
You can find more detailed information about our events on our Facebook page!

We are always looking for new venues! Please get in contact if you own a piece of land, run a sport or social club, committee of a sports centre or stadium, or manage the events for your city, town or village!
Please note: in the small chance of adverse or poor weather, we will try to stay open. If we can stay open safely we will continue to operate. If it rains heavy, play will be suspended on the slides until the rain stops. Once the weather improves, we will dry the inflatables and resume full play. In the rare event that we have to abandon a session due to the wind, all of the visiting guests/entirety of your party at the time of cancellation will be invited to come back on another day for a FREE 3 hour session. Unfortunately we cannot give any refunds. You will be given a token which allows entry for 1 child and 1 adult. If you have a larger ratio of adults to children, please let a member of management know before you leave so it can be recorded. If you loose your token(s) we cannot honour any free returns so make sure to keep them safe.
