Choose From 6 Zorbing venue in the UK and Ireland.

Zorbing (globe-riding, sphereing, orbing) is the recreation of rolling downhill in an orb made of transparent plastic. Zorbing is generally performed on a gentle slope, but can also be done on a level surface, permitting more rider control. In the absence of hills some operators have constructed inflatable, wooden or metal ramps. There are two types of orbs, harnessed and non-harnessed. Non-harness orbs carry up to three riders, while the harness orbs are constructed for one to two riders. Double-harness spheres have different slope requirements, and must only be operated in specific locations. The longer runs are approximately half a mile.

Zorbing

Zorbing (a.k.a Sphereing) is a laughing, screaming crazy experience that puts you inside a giant hamster ball, and then you get rolled down a hill. How mad is that? So all aboad for zorb rolling, spereing, zorbing, or whatever you want to call it. But, at the end of the day, it is a human-sized PVC inflatable ball that, once inside and rolling, will provide an adrenalin rush like no other. The Activity People are delighted to offer this crazy activity at locations across the UK!
