Ashorne Village Hall is in Ashorne, a small village about 4.5 miles south of Warwick. The main hall is 24ft wide and 40ft long, and the ceiling goes from 9ft at the lowest point up to 13ft in the middle. Our first party here was a 5-year-old's birthday one November, with our Grand Prix track with six Didi cars set up at the far end of the hall.
Does the Grand Prix track fit?
Only just, and I can't promise it. The track is 20 x 22ft, but with room round it to stay safe it needs a space of 29 x 28ft, and this hall is 24ft wide. On that first visit I got it in by bending the inflation tube round, which works some of the time but not always. So if you're booking Ashorne, plan on the Didi cars driving round the open floor, and treat the track as a maybe. The track is £70, for ages 2 to 6, and the Didi cars are £25 for a set of three, from age 3 and up to 18 stone.
What else will fit?
We've only been here once, so this part is from the measurements rather than parties we've done:
- The Party Play Zone (£115, ages 2 to 6) needs 22.1 x 22.4ft and only 6.7ft of height, so it fits under the lowest part of the ceiling, with room for Didi cars beside it.
- A medium castle, like our purple castle in disco artwork (£100, ages 4 to 12), needs 18.1 x 21.1ft and 10.5ft of height. That's more than the 9ft at the sides, so it would have to go under the higher middle of the ceiling. Tell me before you book one and I'll check it properly.
- Anything taller, like the large adult castle (12.6ft) or the basketball shootout (14.9ft), won't go in.
Parking and the hall itself
There are about 15 parking spaces, and there's no stage, so the whole floor is yours to use. The county council's venue listing calls it Newbold Pacey and Ashorne Village Hall. It says the main hall seats 100, there's a committee room for 15, a kitchen and a car park, an accessible toilet with baby changing, and no steps to get in.
I'm Luke, and I've been putting up bouncy castles round Warwickshire since 2011, at every one of our parties myself. Set-up takes about 30 minutes, and each inflatable runs from a normal 13-amp socket. Delivery to Ashorne is free once the order reaches £110. A £25 admin fee holds your date and the rest is due 14 days before the party. We've had over 400 five-star reviews on Google. Other halls nearby we know well are Wellesbourne Village Hall and Barford Memorial Hall. If you've booked the hall, message me the date and the age of the birthday child, and I'll tell you what fits.
