Note: Your booking allows your party 2 hours of combined climbing and party time from your booked starting time. If you are late and start after your booked time we do not extend party times.
All climbing ceases at your finishing time and we will remove harnesses. We often have our party area’s booked one-time slot after another and so we will give you a 10 minute call to allow you sufficient time to pack up if need be.
So you are not rushed, we recommend packing up after your celebrations. This way you can enjoy the rest of the party.

The party area includes 3 large tables with seating up to 36 peolpe to set out your party and access to our kitchen – which has a microwave and fridge.

Most local pizza franchises deliver to the centre.

Please be advised that due to safety we do not allow birthday party sparklers/sparkle candles. Standard birthday candles are accepted.
We recommend you have your celebrations eg cake, presents, lunch etc half way through your 2 hours. This way everyone can finish off the party with climbing until your time is up.
For safety reasons and so you can start at your booked time, you and your guests will need to arrive no later and or no earlier than 20 minutes before your booked time. This allows our staff to fit harnesses and most importantly give a SAFETY LESSON. If there are late arrivals they will have to wait until we are able fit harnesses and give another safety lesson.
If you do arrive earlier, there will be no space for you to setup as the first party will still be running. Please be patient as safety is our number one priority.
We also ask that you, please, do not give noisy blowers, clickers, party whistles or poppers etc as party gifts
Please be advised that due to safety we do not allow birthday party sparklers/sparkle candles. Standard birthday candles are accepted.

PLEASE NOTE: We provide a group safety lesson , please ensure all of your participants/guests are at the party on time. Holding the ropes is not a difficult job once you are shown how to do it.
