Children's Parties

• A more cost-effective option for a smaller party. 
• Book tickets and pay-per-head.
• Add on DropSlide or Stairway To Heaven tickets if you like, at the point of booking, on arrival or during the session itself up until 10 past the hour of the climb time.
• You can add the Party Bus to your booking (subject to availability)
• IMPORTANT NOTE: We have a strict NO CAKE policy for inside the venue. We also do not allow food/snacks/drinks (with exception of water) to be consumed in the venue unless it has been purchased from our café. Please be mindful of this if you are including cupcakes in your party bags. Your guests will not be able to eat them until they have left the venue. Please also be mindful that it makes our staff extremely uncomfortable to have to enforce this policy if it is ignored, so your cooperation is much appreciated.
• You will share the arena with other climbers who have booked on to the same session.
• During busy times, we cannot guarantee we will be able to increase your climber numbers after your booking is confirmed, due to lack of availability.  It is best to over-estimate slightly at the point of booking and reduce your numbers within the required notice period.

COST:  £22.50 per climber

PIZZA DELIVERY

A popular option with guests, we work with our carefully chosen partner, Pappaciccia, based in Fulham.  They offer freshly prepared pizzas (and a range of other dishes) that can be delivered to Clip ‘n Climb Chelsea.  You can see their menu here. Ring them a day or two before your party and place your order.  Ask them to deliver it at 20 past the hour of your climb (so for example, for a 10am session that finishes at 11.30am, you will ask for delivery at 11.20am).  They will deliver it to Reception, who will organise for it to be carried across to the bus.

CLIP ‘N CLIMB CATERING

We offer a range of menu options, such as sandwiches, veggies and dips, crisps and fruit.  Get in touch to discuss your needs and we’ll be happy to help.  Prices are based on a per-head cost. Ideally, we'd like a minimum of 2 weeks' notice, please.

ACCESS AND DEPARTURE FROM THE BUS

Parents/carers will have access to the bus about 8 minutes before the end of your climbing session, depending on how long it takes our team to tidy up from the previous party.  Once climbers have finished in the arena, they are unharnessed, and they will then be shown onto the bus.  Your 45-minute session begins as soon as the climbing session has ended.  We recommend that you ask parents/carers to start arriving to collect their children 30 minutes after the party has started.  In our experience, this gives the children time to eat and drink and it gives you time to clear away, ready for the next party coming in after you. 

Please be aware that you must be off the bus by quarter past the hour. Our team need the time to get on board and prep the space. They will board at 5 minutes past the hour to give you a polite reminder that you have 10 more minutes and help you to start clearing up.

CAN I CANCEL OR AMEND MY BOOKING?

Yes, as long as you let us know a minimum of 1 week before the start of your party. 

CAN I TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS?

You can take photographs of your own child/children of course.  Please be mindful and respectful of other customers who may not wish to have their photograph taken, and please do not post anything on social media that shows the faces of children/climbers you don’t know and haven’t got permission from.

WHAT ABOUT DECORATIONS?

Our Party Bus will be party-ready for you and your guests.  You may bring balloons but please keep decorations to a minimum as they often damage the walls.  Party poppers, confetti and sparklers are not allowed, but you may bring candles for the cake.  Pinatas are not permitted inside.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

Please bring everything you need for your party with you, including cutlery, cups and plates.  We will provide jugs of water and a knife for the cake.

WHAT HAPPENS ON ARRIVAL AT THE VENUE

When you check in for your climbing session at Reception, we will have space to store your cake and your bag/box of items you need (cups, plates, cutlery, party bags, napkins etc). Please note we will not have space to store your coats and any pressies, but there is space in the venue for this once you've found a spot. Coats kept under the stairs in boxes or on the hooks.
