Mobile laser tag for parties and events

Parents booking children's parties, schools and scout groups, companies running team days, and organisers of fêtes and community events.

• Confident with groups and children
• Organised and punctual
• Comfortable driving and setting up equipment
• Basic first aid and safety awareness

• Public liability insurance that specifically covers this activity
• Check whether venues, schools or councils want to see your risk assessment and insurance before you book
• Checks for working with children, such as a DBS check, if schools or youth groups ask for them
• Weather and storage: plan for rain and where to keep equipment, and check your van insurance covers business use
• Permission from landowners or the council for use of parks and public land

Estimates suggest startup costs are typically around £3,000 to £12,000, depending on how many laser tag sets you buy, the bunkers or arena equipment you choose and the vehicle and storage you need.

Estimated monthly revenue is typically around £800 to £4,000, depending on how many bookings you take and the season. Weather and storage need planning. This is revenue, not profit, so allow for costs.

Check you have public liability insurance that specifically covers this activity, and whether venues, schools or councils want your risk assessment and insurance first. Also check DBS requirements for working with children and permission from landowners or the council for public land.
