Zorb football was great fun. Difficult to do the whole hour after night of drinking and a hot summer day, so the event team let us play 5 a side instead after a while.
Zorb Football is a chaotic and hilarious twist on the beautiful game, as you strap yourselves into your giant inflatable bubbles, step onto the pitch, then bounce, barge and bump your way through a pulsating five-a-side match. A referee will be on hand to run through the rules and keep things in order, while subs will be rotated every few minutes to ensure everybody gets plenty of game time.
Located close to Dunston train station, this activity centre boasts eight outdoor rubber crumb pitches, function room, corporate facilities and a licensed bar.
