This means we set up the room before your arrival and clear down afterwards, but the event itself is not a fully hosted party. You and your guests have the space to enjoy privately during your booked time.

We prepare the room before your arrival and clear down afterwards, so you do not need to worry about setting up the space or packing everything away at the end.

Setup may still be taking place before your booking begins, so early access is not available unless specifically agreed in writing.
Guests are welcome to gather in the large car park before the event start time.
Standard room hire is 3–4 hours, depending on the package and booking details agreed.
This gives you time for guests to arrive, enjoy food and drinks, play games, take photos, open gifts if you wish, and enjoy the celebration without feeling rushed.
We do offer options for those who would like the room for half the day or even the entire day.
Yes, your booking can remain flexible until the final month before your event.
If you need to reduce your guest numbers, please let us know as early as possible so we can adjust the details where possible.
For changes requested less than 30 days before the event, we reserve the right to keep the booking at the original agreed guest number. This is because costs may already have been incurred for your celebration, including styling, food, drinks, tableware, games, supplier items, personalised details and preparation time.
We will always try to be fair where possible, but late reductions may not reduce the final balance.
Additional guests may be added from £20 per person (Depending on the celebration and add-ons selected), subject to room capacity, package inclusions and availability.
Please let us know as early as possible if your guest number changes, as this may affect food, drinks, seating, tableware, games, favours and styling.

Date transfers are subject to availability.
If less than 1 month’s notice is given, the deposit cannot be transferred and a new deposit may be required for a new booking.
No. The deposit is non-refundable.
This is because it reserves your chosen date, removes that date from availability, and allows us to begin planning, preparation and sourcing where needed.

No. At the moment, bookings are not instant.
Every celebration is slightly different, so we check availability, guest numbers, styling requirements and any add-ons before confirming your booking. This helps make sure the package is suitable and that we can prepare the room properly for your event.
All bookings are enquiry-first.
This means you send us your preferred date, event type, estimated guest number, package interest and styling ideas. We then check availability and confirm what is possible before your booking is secured.
Your date is not reserved until your deposit has been received.
