FAQ's

What happens if there is bad weather?

We believe in partying outside whatever the weather, so please come dressed appropriately. However, if conditions are extreme, we have covered areas in the garden.

Is there an indoor room I can book?

Your booking includes hire of our garden room to safely secure any items inside. It also contains a small fridge for any party food. The garden room is not recommended for eating in as it is a small conference room.

We have a larger room called the Darwin Suite available to hire for £25 an hour if you would prefer a larger indoor room for your party or would like to extend your party for longer indoors.

Do you supply party food?

We don’t supply party food, but you are welcome to bring your own. We have a fridge for you to store your food and we have lots of outdoor furniture for picnics.

We also offer a refreshments package for £20 which includes a hot water urn, mugs, coffee, tea bags, sugar, milk, squash, jugs, reusable plastic cups and plates. For indoor party food we would recommend booking our larger room, the Darwin Suite as the Garden Room is quite small. The Darwin suite has an additional cost of £25 per hour.

Child supervision

The Shropshire Wildlife Trust provides fully trained party host to deliver your party activities but does not supply child supervision. It is the sole responsibility of the party hirer/s to provide adult supervision for the party and assume full responsibility for the safety and behaviour of all their guests and any damages to the property.

For Health and Safety reasons if these supervision levels are not adhered to the party may be cancelled.
