Ettington Community Centre: Room for Everything

Ettington Community Centre is the hall on Rogers Lane, in the middle of Ettington, about 7 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, and it's one of the few halls round here where everything we hire fits. The ceiling is well over 13ft, so even our large adult castle (£135, needs 21.7 x 21.1ft and 12.6ft of height) goes in without a worry.

Which parties have we set up here?

The most recent was a 5th birthday in October: The Ride, Bounce and Slide (£279) in race car artwork, which is our purple castle, the 5ft party slide (needs 17.5 x 20.2ft), the Grand Prix track (needs 29 x 28ft) and six Didi cars, around 1,550 sq ft of floor in all. We'd set up the same package here the November before.

For a 7th birthday in March it was our Multi Colour Disco Fun Run (£165, needs 16.2 x 35.9ft and 10.7ft of height) with nine Happy Hoppers, and the fun run was back again in June. In January, the Green Combi Castle (£130, needs 26.9 x 21.8ft) went in with 21 Didi cars on the rest of the floor.

Twenty-one Didi cars alongside a combi castle tells you how much floor there is. The one thing I can't give you yet is an exact ceiling height: I know it's well over 13ft, but I haven't measured it, so if you're after something taller than the adult castle, ask me first. Didi cars and the track are indoor toys, so all of this goes on the hall's hard floor. We've also had A Bit Of Everything (castle, 5ft slide, ball pool and soft play) in here at another party.

What else is there?

There's a stage, and it doesn't get in the way of the inflatables. The centre's own listings mention a commercial kitchen, a large level car park with blue badge spaces at the front, and wheelchair access throughout, plus two smaller rooms besides the main hall. There are a couple of play parks on the site too, for when the children need fresh air.

I'm Luke, and I set up every one of those parties myself, in about 30 minutes, running everything from normal 13-amp sockets. If the centre asks to see our £5m public liability insurance, I'll send it over. There's no delivery charge to Ettington, just a £110 minimum order. A £25 payment secures the date, the balance is due two weeks ahead, and more than 400 customers have left us five stars on Google. Nearby, we also know Tysoe Village Hall and Pillerton Priors Village Hall. Once you've got the hall booked, check your date with us and book online.
