Party Ideas

Toboggan Parties

Are you looking for an idea for your next Children's party or Birthday party? Something with lots of fun and action! Why not try a tobogganing party - sliding down the slope on sledges, and even spinning in inflatable rings.

Ski Parties

Make your next party an active one, and try fun activities like skiing or boarding, we provide a 2 hour Skiing party with a qualified instructor. These are suitable for beginners or experienced skiers. If you just cannot decide, you can opt for a combined party of Skiing and Tobogganing.

A function area is available for hire for you to bring a party tea. Birthday parties for all ages are welcome, as well as youth groups or even your next corporate night out!

Parties are for everyone - from 2 to 99 - and they are customised for YOU

What size is a Group?

For parties involving snowboarding, the maximum party size is 6, and the prices are based on 6 people attending (i.e. if there are less than 6 people, then there is not reduction in the cost).

For other parties, the minimum group size is 10 people.  Groups can be bigger, of course, and the number of instuctors and/or supervisors will be appropriate for the party size.

Mixed abilities

OK, but what about my Group I've only got 10 and some can ski and others can't.
That's easily handled...
The maximum number that can be in a Group with a single Instructor is 10 so if you can find people of similar ability to make up two larger groups that's great.  If you can't, then for an additional fee, the Centre can offer a second Instructor so that your group can be split into two smaller sets.

And how big can my Group be?

Up to 30 people for ski, and for ski and tobogganing mix.
Up to 25 for tobogganing on one slope only

Note that the maximum numbers in the ski groups may be reduced if people in the groups are all the same age/size due to equipment availability

How does it work?

  1. Ring the Bookings Secretary on 0845 0728 293 to reserve your proposed date
  2. Next, organise your Group
  3. At least 14 days before your date send the full fee to the Bookings Secretary
  4. At least 7 days before your date, you will need to give the Bookings Secretary all the car registration numbers requiring access to the center.
    Car passes will then be sent to you to distribute to the drivers (who must bring some photo id) in good time for your event.
    People can be substituted right up until the night, but new cars can't be added.  If you're not sure which cars will be dropping off or collecting from the party just ask for passes for all of them!

Adult supervision for under 18 groups

An under 18's group can contain one participating Adult organiser for every 10 children - BUT that Adult is expected to help the Instructor(s) supervise the Group in respect of discipline and control.

 

School parties

We know that for most school and Youth Organisation groups there is a requirement on the group leader to ask "Independent Providers Questions" prior to booking. On our Download page, you will find the Centre's answers to the 2003 Cambridgeshire LEA questions. 

Note that you should discuss your booking with the Bookings Secretary if your group has a significant number of disabled people (so we can ensure that we have the right staff in place), or if everyone is the same size (e.g. all very small, or very big) so that we can check that we have enough equipment of the correct size for your group.
