How to book GoSport holiday camps with Pebble

Sep 2

5 min read

GoSport has moved paid holiday-camp bookings to Pebble. This step-by-step guide shows you how to find the correct booking button, choose one or several days, book more than one child and pay by card, childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare through PonchoPay.

Screens, prices, add-ons and availability may change. Always check the live basket before paying.

1. Start on the GoSport website

From the GoSport website, open Holiday Activity Camps, choose Gosport, then select October Half Term.

Click the turquoise Book Now button. This opens the October camp booking choices page.

Website route: gosportactivitycentre.co.uk > Holiday Activity Camps > Gosport > October Half Term > Book Now

At the time this guide was created, the live Pebble button was available on the October camp page. If you start from another camp page, check that its Book Now button already points to Pebble.

2. Choose the Pebble booking route

On the booking choices page, use the section headed I pay for my childcare. Click the dark-blue Book Now button with the Pebble icon.

The HAF booking route is separate and uses EEQU when funded places are available. This Pebble guide is for paid bookings, including card, childcare vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare.

Open GoSport Activity Centre directly on Pebble

3. Find your activity on Pebble

Pebble opens the GoSport Activity Centre profile. Scroll to Browse activities, open the activity you need and select View full activity & Book.

Before continuing, check the venue, age range, dates, session times, what to bring and any available add-ons.

4. Choose one day, several days or all dates

The booking panel gives two routes:

Book all dates: use this when the child will attend every date in the displayed block. Confirm the session time, then continue to tickets.
Choose dates: click a date, select the time and click Select. Repeat this for every additional day. The selected-session counter updates as dates are added.

Important: ticket quantity does not add days. Select every required date first. If a multi-session discount is available, Pebble will display the qualifying rule above the calendar and apply it to eligible selections.

Before continuing, confirm the dates, session time and selected-session count, then click Choose tickets.

5. Book one or more children

Use the plus and minus controls to set the number of children attending the dates you selected.

Every ticket applies to every selected session in that selection. For example, 2 attendees and 2 selected sessions means both children are attending both dates.

The rule to remember is: select the days first, set the number of children second, then click Add to basket.

If the children need different days

Create separate basket selections:

Select the first child's date or dates and choose 1 ticket.
Add that selection to the basket.
Choose Add more from this activity.
Select the second child's date or dates and choose 1 ticket.
Add the second selection to the basket.

This prevents every child being placed on every selected date.

6. Check your basket and continue

Check the activity, dates, times, ticket quantity and total, then click Checkout.

You can create a Pebble account, log in or continue as a guest. GoSport recommends creating an account because it saves attendee details and booking history, making future bookings quicker.

Guest checkout works for a one-off booking, but the details will not be saved for next time.

7. Enter parent and child details

Enter the parent's full name, email address and mobile number. Each ticket appears as its own attendee section.

Select a saved attendee or choose Create new attendee. Enter the child's legal full name and correct date of birth, keep Child selected and confirm.

Repeat this for every ticket line.
Check that each child is linked to the intended dates and times.
Do not reuse one child's profile for a different child.

Complete every required field carefully so registers and booking records are accurate.

8. Complete questions and add-ons

Pebble then moves through Questions, Add-Ons and Add more/Pay.

Answer all required questions accurately, including allergies, medical needs, additional support, emergency or collection information and consents wherever requested. Check whether each answer applies to one child or to the whole booking.

Some activities offer optional extras. Choose the correct child and date or dates for any add-on, then check the updated total before continuing. Questions, add-ons and prices can vary between camps.

9. Review and pay

Check the activity, dates, sessions, tickets and attendees. Enter a valid discount code if you have one, read the privacy and booking terms, then click Proceed to Payment.

Pebble may show card or Link and, where available, Klarna, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The exact options depend on the device and eligibility.

Only press the final Book or Pay button after the total and all attendees are correct.

Paying with PonchoPay

If you are using childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare, select Proceed to Payment in Pebble and then choose Pay with Poncho Pay.

PonchoPay will show the available payment routes:

TFC Express: suitable when the provider shown by PonchoPay is already added to your Tax-Free Childcare account and the account has enough funds. PonchoPay says this can complete instantly without entering card details.
TFC Standard: use this when you need time to top up. A guarantee card is requested and reminders are sent. After paying, add each child's 12-digit Tax-Free Childcare reference so the payment can be matched.
Childcare vouchers: select your voucher scheme and follow the on-screen instructions. A guarantee card may be requested to secure the booking. PonchoPay says it is not charged automatically; the provider can decide to charge it if the voucher payment is not completed.

Have access to your TFC or voucher account before starting. Split payment is only available when the option appears.

Quick booking reference

1 child, 1 day: Choose dates > select the date and time > Select > choose 1 ticket.
1 child, several days: Choose dates > add each date using Select > choose 1 ticket.
2 or more children on the same days: Select the dates once > set ticket quantity to the number of children > assign each child.
Children attending different days: Create separate basket selections and use Add more from this activity between selections.
Whole week: Book all dates > confirm the session time > tickets equal the number of children.

After payment

Look for your booking confirmation email and check the activity, dates, attendee names and amount. A card payment may appear as Pebble on your bank statement rather than GoSport.
