What times and days can I make a booking for?
-We are open every day of the week for party entertainment in our venue. Times do vary from week to week depending what we have booked. Normally the morning session is 11am and the afternoon is 2:30pm on weekends.
What is the best age group for your entertainment?
-Generally our party entertainment is aimed at 2-8 year olds- both girls and boys.
Can adults stay and watch the entertainment in the party venue?
-Adults are most welcome to stay in the party room to watch all the fun the children are having! We do request that adults stay quiet throughout the performance so that they don’t distract the performers or children. We have a lovely space in the front of our venue where our adult guests spend most of their time getting a chance to relax, unwind and catch up with friends and family.
What time should we arrive?
-Please arrive 5-15 minutes prior to your party booking time. Please do not arrive earlier than that as we will be cleaning and reorganising the space after the last party- unless you have other arrangements made with Catherine to set up something special earlier.
What’s included in the party entertainment package?
-Children will expect to have their imaginations ignited in our magical party venue! With dazzling storytelling, themed games both unique and traditional, keepsake birthday gift, special keepsake prizes for everyone, face painting, ventriloquist puppet show, dancing, amazing music, magic, bubbles and more!
What is the quality of your food and ingredients? Where do children eat?
-We have a selection of great party food menus to choose from for both children and adults which can be found on this website along with pricing. All meals will be freshly prepared on the same day of your party, within our commercial kitchen by Chef Guillaume. We can cater to special dietary needs. We only use the best ingredients and produce. Children’s party lunch is served in our magical party room while the children have their face painting and before we have birthday cake. They will enjoy their lunch seated at a beautiful children’s table with luxury Tiffany chairs.
Can I bring my own food for the adults and/or children?
-We are a registered food business and don’t allow any food or drinks to be brought into our premises. We supply all food and drinks. You are not required to select food for the adults but we do require that every child who attends is catered for.
If you have any take home treats for the cake table you would like to bring this is not a problem.
What’s the minimum and maximum number of children for a party? Does it make a difference with the cost?
