Star Wars-themed missions will return to live action gaming arena Rumble Live over the early May Bank Holiday weekend.

Aspiring Padawan and seasoned Jedi will be able to take part in themed outdoor laser tag missions at the Grafham Water site on Saturday April 29 and at Rutland Water on April 30 and May 1. 

Set in two woodland locations, Rumble players will be fighting for the Rebel Alliance or joining the dark side with the Empire in themed missions.

These include Hoth Defence — in which the The Rebel Alliance team are entrenched and have to hold out against the attacking Empire forces as long as they can — Commander Take-down and Endor Escape. 

Participants will also have time at the end of their session to take photographs with their favourite Star Wars characters.

Fancy dress is also optional, but encouraged.

A leaderboard will also be running across all of the Star Wars sessions throughout the weekend, with the ranger’s standout player being crowned as the ‘Chosen One’.

The Chosen One will win a free future VIP session at Rumble Live, which they can bring three Jedi friends along to, on a day and time of their choosing. 

Jacquie Rumble and son Joe, who run the attraction together, decided to revive the themed missions again this year, after it went down a storm(trooper) at its Grafham Water site last year.

Jacquie Rumble said: "We received very positive feedback for our Star Wars missions last year at our Grafham Water site and so we’re excited to bring them back this year and at our new location too.

"The nature of the activity fits the Star Wars theme really well, entices new players and excites our regulars.

"Last year we had a pesky Jawa on-site, but this year contenders should look out for Kylo Ren and Stormtroopers.”

The price for the Star Wars missions is £20 per person for a 60 minute session. It is suitable for adults and children aged eight and above, however for Star Wars missions only children aged six and seven are also welcome, provided they are accompanied by an adult.
