Themed Parties

Do you have a group who would like a Xmas Party – Scouts, Brownies, Youth Clubs, Football or Rugby Teams etc.

We have other parties to offer which range from £9 per head (with no food, just play) to £14 per head. All parties are for a two hour duration, however we can arrange a small increase in cost for a longer party. Or book a Centre Party and enjoy 1.5 hours playing on the exhibits and allowing 30 minutes for food. Alternatively, all of these parties allow an activity for an hour and 20 minutes with the exhibits as well. We are offering parties of celebrations (Football Team’s end of season celebration) or a Christmas Party and there is a choice of food (Cold Buffet or Hot Meal) or just come along and play! We will decorate the food area according to the event.
