Why have all the mess at home, when you can hire one of our rooms and have a great party with us! We have a number of themed parties to choose from for boys and girls, from toddlers to teenagers. Alternatively, if you're planning your own party entertainment, we offer hourly room hire rates.

The Portland

£16.90 per hour, 2-hour party, 3 hours hire £50.70
The Portland is a large room that can accommodate up to 200 people. Access is available directly from the car park or via the reception staircase and is ideal space for bouncy castles, discos, and magic parties.

Byron/Bailey

£9.00 per hour, 2-hour party, 3 hours hire £27.00
The Byron and Bailey rooms, located on the ground floor, are suitable for smaller parties of up to 30 people including soft play, disco parties and magicians.

The Byron Suite

£13.38 per hour, 2-hour party, 3 hours hire £40.14
The Byron Suite (Byron and Bailey rooms combined), benefits from a kitchenette area that can be secured with a baby gate and double doors leading to a private patio area that make it ideal for those parties where the Portland is too big, the Byron or Bailey is too small - the Byron Suite will be just right!


Disco, Magic, Jewellery Making, Hair and Beauty, Science, Singing and Dancing, Computer, and Go Kart Packages are possible in all of our rooms.
Please ask us for further information and supplier details.

Teenage Parties

The Byron Suite can be hired for larger teenage birthday parties and we can provide full room décor, entertainment and catering (including mocktails!), for older children. There is a security bond of £150 for teenage birthday parties.
