I’m afraid the team are unable to provide supervision outside of the set hours of the course.

We have a maximum of 20 places available each week, so tickets are extremely limited.

No, tickets are non-refundable, however, if you are unable to attend you can transfer your ticket to another child within the appropriate age range. We will cancel any tickets sold over the face value.
