Additional Information:

Food for others i.e. parents and siblings can be arranged by ordering in advance or off the menu on the day – you can arrange to include all purchases of food or drink for parents on your bill, or guests can pay for themselves on the day.

One supervising adult is required to stay at the party, but other parents can choose to stay or go.
The person booking is responsible for ensuring the correct children invited are participating.

Please note – we may use disco lights for the games – please inform a member of staff if you do not wish to have this or if someone attending is sensitive to flashing lights.

Confirmation Terms: a 25% non-refundable deposit secures a booking – 25% is based on the number you are inviting. We can hold a party slot provisionally for 3 days before the deposit is paid. Let us know at least 24 hours before the party date if your numbers change. Our policy is to charge 50% for any children that do not turn up on the day. Minimum party size is 10, so under attendance of 10 children will need to be paid in full. For a party booking of 26 or more, for under attendance you will still be charged for 26 full price, due to the planned closure of the shop.
