HAF Activities Essex & Suffolk | Mobile Gaming Bus
Looking for exciting HAF activities in Essex or Suffolk for your holiday programme?
Streetside Gaming Bus provides fully hosted mobile gaming activities for HAF programmes, holiday clubs, schools, community centres and organised school holiday events across Essex and Suffolk.
Our gaming bus gives children the chance to enjoy multiplayer gaming together in a fun, social and supervised environment, with PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, VR, a Gaming PC, racing games and more.
Whether you are planning a one-off HAF activity day or looking for something different to add to your school holiday programme, we bring the gaming experience directly to your venue.
HAF Gaming Activities for Children
Our gaming bus can be booked as an exciting HAF enrichment activity for children and young people.
Children can enjoy multiplayer gaming, racing, VR, Nintendo games and team-based gaming experiences with support from our gaming host throughout the session.
Our setup is designed to be social, interactive and easy for organisers to add into a wider HAF timetable.
Gaming Bus Activities for HAF Programmes
Instead of taking children off-site, we bring the entertainment directly to your HAF venue.
We can attend:
- Schools
- Community centres
- Holiday clubs
- Youth clubs
- Leisure centres
- Sports venues
- Council-run holiday programmes
- Community HAF events
Once we arrive, our host sets up the equipment and helps children get gaming.
Sessions can be arranged around the number of children attending and the timetable of your HAF programme.
What Is Included in Our HAF Gaming Sessions?
A Streetside Gaming Bus HAF session can include:
- PlayStation 5 and PlayStation gaming

- Nintendo Switch
- Gaming PC
- Virtual Reality headsets
- Racing Simulator
- Retro Arcade Gaming

HAF Enrichment Activities for Holiday Clubs
HAF programmes often include a variety of activities throughout the day.
The Streetside Gaming Bus can be added to your programme as an exciting enrichment activity, giving children something completely different to enjoy alongside your other planned sessions.
For larger groups, children can rotate through the gaming bus in smaller groups while other activities take place elsewhere at the venue.
This makes the gaming bus suitable for both smaller HAF sessions and larger holiday activity days.
A Fun Social Activity for Children
Gaming does not have to mean children sitting alone in front of a screen.
Our gaming bus is designed around multiplayer and social gaming, allowing children to play together, communicate, compete and enjoy games with their friends.
Children can:
- Race against each other
- Play multiplayer football games
- Build together in Minecraft
- Enjoy Nintendo favourites
- Take turns using VR
- Compete on the Racing Simulator
- Play team-based games
There are options for different interests and gaming abilities.

Games for Different Ages and Interests
We have a large selection of games available and can tailor the gaming choices to suit the age group attending your HAF programme.
Popular choices can include:
Minecraft, Roblox, Mario Kart, EA SPORTS FC, Fortnite, Rocket League, racing games, Nintendo games and other multiplayer favourites.
HAF organisers can also speak to us before the session about games they would or would not like available.
Fully Hosted HAF Gaming Activities
You do not need to understand gaming or organise any of the consoles yourself.
A Streetside Gaming host remains with the children throughout the gaming session.
Our host helps with:
- Choosing games
- Setting up multiplayer sessions
- Controllers and consoles
- Gaming equipment
- Helping children join games
- Keeping the session running smoothly
This makes it easy for HAF organisers to add gaming activities to their programme without needing to provide their own gaming equipment or technical knowledge.
HAF Activities for Schools & Community Venues
Our mobile setup means we can bring the gaming bus directly to a wide range of HAF venues.
We can attend schools, community centres, holiday clubs, leisure centres, youth clubs and other suitable locations across Essex and Suffolk.
We simply need suitable parking close to the venue and access to power.
If you are unsure whether the gaming bus can access your venue, contact us with the postcode and we can check before booking.
SEN-Friendly HAF Gaming Sessions
We understand that children have different needs and may enjoy activities in different ways.
Where possible, we can adapt the gaming session to create a more comfortable experience.
This can include quieter gaming options, taking breaks and using our outdoor gaming position when available for children who may prefer a little more space.
If children attending your HAF programme have particular requirements, please let us know before the event so we can discuss the best setup.
