FAQs
What age does my child need to be for a sleepover?
The minimum age for overnight sleepovers is 5, and the beds and tents can comfortably fit both children and adults as we have extenders for our mattresses. Please note that children under the age of 18 must be supervised at all times by a responsible adult.
We do also have day time hire options for 3 – 5 year olds, the perfect den/camp for a pre school party or afternoon picnic to inspire and engage adventure role play and fun.
How much room do I need?
Each A Frame Tent requires 1m by 1.9m floorspace. The double lace teepee’s require a 2m x 2m floorspace and a 2.5m ceiling height. Outdoor igloo needs a 4m by 4m flat space.
If you would like us to take a look at your available space then you can send us pictures and measurements and we will advise you what might work best.
The breakfast trays can wither be placed at the end of the beds, but we can place elsewhere if space is limited. You need to consider the area around the beds so that children have space to move around without blocking any entrances and exits to the room.
For balloon installs we create each balloon garland bespoke to suit the clients space so measurements are important if space is limited.
How long does set up take?
On average parties take around an hour to set up. However, we can advise each booking individually as the exact time will vary depending upon the size of the parties.
For balloon installs, again it all depends on what we are installing. We do the majority of the preparation in advance so its usually just building up props, positioning, attaching and the all important finishing touches (or faffing as my husband calls it!)
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes, we require either a £25 or £50 deposit depending on the number of tents that you hire, or size of your install this secures your date, theme and any equipment needed. Full payment is due 14 days prior to the party date.
Will you ask me for a security bond?
Yes we ask for a £50 security bond to be paid prior to set up of the party, this will be refunded within 3 days once all the equipment has been returned and checked. We do not accept cash on the day.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that things don’t always go to plan and there may be a need for you to change the date or even cancel your booking.
