It's like going to a picnic table in a forest, so bring everything you need and remember a bin bag to leave the place as you found it.
Q: What if there's bad weather?
We operate in all weather conditions except yellow wind warnings. If there's a yellow wind warning, we'll reschedule your booking. Please dress appropriately for the weather.
Q: I'm not sure of exact numbers?
You can make cancellations to your booking up to 48 hours before your start time. After that, refunds or rescheduling are not available. For larger groups, we recommend booking two less than expected, as we allow customers to add maximum two extra participants on the day by paying cash or card on-site.
Q: I can only book in 20 kids but I have more than that coming...
If your group size exceeds 20, please book across two neighbouring time slots. Add the first 20 participants to your basket. When prompted to add extra participants, select the next time slot and enter the number of additional participants. This ensures you receive the reduced group rate and that your whole group starts together.
Q: DO YOU CATER FOR FOOD?
Unfortunately, we do not have food or drink facilities on site. Most customers bring their own snacks, cake, and a 5 litre bottle of water with some cordial, or order in from an outside vendor.
We highly recommend the Pizza Shed at Killruddery, which is just a 2 minute walk away. If you order 11 pizzas or more online at pizza.killruddery.com/ you can receive €15 off with the discount code: #PSBirthday10
There are also other local options that deliver on site, including Four Star Pizza Bray, who offer a discount to our customers.
Alternatively, you can head over to Killruddery’s restaurant or café for something more relaxed after your visit.
