Dear Customers, as some of you may know we have taken the difficult decision to sell our Gaming Van business in the new year.

Over the last two years we have met some lovely customers and made good contacts with the people trying to make our town a better place, we are happy with the success of the van and that we managed to bring something new to Barrow and surrounding areas.
However as a family we feel we are ready for a new adventure.

In terms of bookings and events, we are more or less fully booked for the remaining two months, and also have plenty of Barrow BID events left.

If you would still like to enquire about our dates for November/December please do so, we also encourage any new or old customers wanting to book for next year to still get in touch with us, if we manage to find a local buyer we may still be able to get you booked in for the new year.

Thanks to all our customers and everyone who has helped us in any way over the last 2/3 years 😃🎮
