Parties
are of 2 hour duration (1.5 hours for 4-6 year olds)
(PLEASE NOTE: An additional charge of £5 per
child will be made if the party does not finish
on time). The party organiser is welcome to arrive
up to a maximum of 10 minutes early. |
|
 |
Minimum
number of children is 8 and we can accommodate up
to 40 |
|
 |
Children
paint for up to 1 ¼ hours, we then clear
and wipe down the tables and the party organiser
can then lay out food and drink, followed by a birthday
cake. This will comfortably take up the 2 hours |
|
 |
Due
to the shorter attention span of younger children,
parties for those aged 4 – 6 will be for 1.5
hours. If the party runs over, you have the additional
½ hour and parents don’t usually mind
waiting. This relieves the stress for the party
organiser, as lots of young children running round
a pottery shop can get VERY stressful! Bringing
a pass-the-parcel is a good idea, in case they finish
quickly. |
|
 |
A
deposit of £25 per table (max 10 seats per
table) is required to secure a booking, together
with the completion of a booking form. The deposit
is non-refundable, but we will transfer it, once,
to another date if 3 weeks notice is given.
|
|
|
Pottery
must be ordered in advance to ensure we have enough
in stock, and it is strongly recommended that all
children paint the same item of pottery (each child
will produce unique work – no 2 items will
look the same), as this saves on upsets on the day… |
|
|
Parental
supervision is required. Staff will instruct the
children on how things work and will be on-hand
to give help/advice throughout, but do not solely
run the party. (The party organiser is responsible
for the children while they are in the shop).
In
the rare event that a child's piece gets damaged
during firing, the child will be invited to paint
a new piece.
All
pottery paints are non-toxic and conform to child
safety standards, and should wash easily out of
fabric.
|
|
|
Food |
|
| |
Food
and drink should be consumed after the painting,
as sticky fingers will make marks on the pottery.
You are welcome to bring your own food, drink
and a cake or order a pizza from next door which
will be delivered at the right time (not
available Sat 10.00 or Sun 11.00 unless booked
in advance with The Crafty Cafe). You
may also decorate the table(s) with balloons (2
x helium balloons per table look great). (NO
PARTY BLOWERS OR POPPERS WILL BE ALLOWED).
Serving
Supplies
For an additional cost of £1 per child,
we will supply glasses with straws, plates and
napkins.

Health Issues |
|
| |
Please
inform us in advance of any health issues a child
may have, so we can try to ensure we know what to
do in the event of a problem. |
