Parties
Private parties may be booked up to two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance. With this notice period, a private party booking may over-ride our regular timetable, so you can discuss with our staff when you want you activity to be scheduled – make it a perfect Friday night out, or on a Saturday morning to really get stuck in! We can cater to special arrangements such as surprise parties, specific activities such as competitions or fun taster sessions, or make even longer (or bigger) bookings with some negotiation.
Members of The Vanguard Centre and The Academy Of Historical Arts receive a 10% discount on party bookings.
