I have already paid the £50 deposit. Can I just not pay the remaining balance?

No. We charge £50 as a refundable deposit which will be returned to you after the event. We charge it in case of any minor damages, overstay or if the centre was left untidy.

We do not allow any decorations/posters to be stuck to the walls anywhere in the Community Centre. Instead, please use small hooks on the walls in the main hall. Otherwise, all decoration must be free standing.

Can I hire a smoke machine?

Please do not use the smoke machines as they will set the alarm off.

Is the soft play included in the booking?

No, we charge for the soft play separately. The cost of the soft play is £60. However, we do require at least 2 people from your event to help setting it up, as the mats are very heavy. The set-up time takes about 45min and pack away time is about 20min. This time needs to be included in your booking. The soft play can only be set up in the main hall.
