Where can I have a Stagecoach Party?
Stagecoach Parties come to you, either at your home or at a venue that you have hired. We usually recommend a clear space of at least 7 x 7 meters (about 20ft) without obstacles or hazards. If the party is being held at home, any ornaments or breakable objects should be put out of reach.

Stagecoach Parties can also be run outside, weather permitting.

How much does a Stagecoach Party Cost?
Please contact your local Party Provider for a price. Let them know approximately how many children there will be attending the party and what age group and they will be able to give you a quote. To book a party you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of £50 . The balance payment will due nearer the date of the party.

Do we provide Party Bags?
If required we can provide our own boy and girl Party Bags. Please ask your party provider directly for more details.

Can parents watch the party?
We strongly advise that parents and friends do not remain in the same room during the party. As well as being a distraction, the presence of multiple adults may also inhibit the children and therefore they will become more reluctant to join in.
However, parents are invited to watch and take part in the last 10 minutes of the party during which the children will show some of the party activities.
Stagecoach staff are the entertainers for this event. The organiser of the party is responsible for the wellbeing of all the children attending, therefore we do as ask that one adult be on hand in the party room at all times.

Can younger or older children join in?
Stagecoach Parties are designed for a specific age-range and are therefore not suitable for much younger or older children. Please arrange to entertain other children elsewhere.
It may be possible for siblings to take part during the party games depending on the age-group, but this must be discussed with your local Stagecoach Party Provider.

How do I know that the Party Host will be good?
Our Party Hosts are our most experienced Stagecoach teachers and highly skilled at involving all children in their activities. They have all been in-house trained and have been checked through the CRB for suitability to work with young children. All our Party Hosts will be extremely knowledgeable about all the themes, games and activities. Please follow their advice wherever possible.

What happens after I have paid my deposit and made a booking?
Your local Stagecoach Party Provider will send you a letter confirming all details including the name of your Party Host and themed invitations to send out to your guests. A few days before the party, your Party Host will call you to find out about your child and go through all the details.
