All supporters can enjoy a delicious selection of food and drink, including burgers, pizza, refreshing ice cream, and a variety of hot and cold beverages, perfect for refuelling!
What shall I wear on the day?
add remove
For your safety and comfort, we recommend wearing appropriate footwear, such as trainers. Bare feet are not permitted on the course.

While the bubbles are completely safe, they may lightly stain clothing, so we suggest avoiding your best sportswear. Dress for fun and be ready to get a little sudsy!
Is the course accssible for all?
add remove
Yes the Bubble Rush course is designed to be accessible for everyone. If you're a wheelchair user, please make yourself known to event staff at the start line so we can ensure you set off first, giving you plenty of space and a smooth start.

If you're bringing a pushchair, please note that the bubbles may mark or stain the fabric, so plan accordingly if you're using your best buggy!

There is one section of the course with an incline that may be more challenging in wet weather. However, all bubble stations are positioned before or after this area, so if you choose to skip it, you won’t miss out on any of the foamy fun.
What do I do if my t-shirt and wristband don't arrive before the event?
add remove
If you haven’t received your pack by the week before the event, please get in touch with us. If delivery is unlikely in time, we may arrange for you to collect it on the day at the information tent.
Can I bring my own food and drink?
add remove

You’re more than welcome to bring your own food and drink. We would suggest all supporters bringing their own water to stay hydrated.

Can I stay after I've taken part?
add remove
Of course, we’d love for you to stick around and soak up the atmosphere! After your foamy fun, head over to the event village and dive into games, entertainment and tasty treats.
Can I bring my dog?
add remove
For the safety and comfort of all participants, dogs and other animals are not permitted in the event village or on the course.
Why is Bubble Rush on Father's Day this year?
add remove

This year, Bubble Rush falls on Father’s Day, it's the perfect excuse to treat Dad to a fun day out!

Bubble Rush always runs on the same weekend each year. We did explore alternative dates, but Mote Park has limited availability due to a busy summer events calendar. As a result, Father’s Day was the only option for 2026.

But don’t let that stop you! Bubble Rush makes a brilliant Father’s Day gift and a memorable family day together! 💙

Is Maidstone the only Demelza Bubble Rush in 2026?
add remove

As much as we’ve loved bringing Bubble Rush to Eltham and Birchington in previous years, we’ve made the difficult decision not to host Bubble Rush events in these locations in 2026. We know these events have been special to many of you, and we’re so appreciative of your support.
