For games and entertainers, check clear floor space after tables and chairs are set out. For crafts, check tables, washable surfaces and access to water; for a disco, check speakers, music restrictions and finish times. For toddler play, check suitable toilets, changing facilities and room for accompanying adults. If hiring inflatables or play equipment, confirm permission, dimensions and supplier requirements. One parent reviewing Bottom Hall at Canonbury Primary School described a third birthday with a small bouncy castle and tables for crafts and food; confirm current arrangements with each venue.
Use the live price facts as a starting point, then check the total for your chosen date and hours. Include time to set up and clear away, any minimum hire period and mandatory charges, plus food, entertainment and equipment hire. Confirm when suppliers can arrive and when everyone must leave. Your guest count includes accompanying adults as well as children; allow room for the activities and food tables too.
Confirm which tables and chairs are provided and who sets them out. Check whether kitchen access is included and which facilities you can use. Ask about bringing food and cake, outside entertainers, decorations and any supplier insurance requirements. Agree what you must clean, where rubbish goes and whether a cleaning charge applies. Requirements vary by space, so check the listing and confirm anything unclear before booking.
