  • Extra hens If you find you want more hens attending than those booked & paid for, please let us know with as much notice as possible before the event (i.e. your booked hen party with us), so we can take payment for the extra people and book extra teachers and materials if needed.

If we are not informed & any un-paid-for hens turn up on the day of the event they may have to go get a coffee on their own while you do your fun stuff for 2-2.5h - not so fun for them  : (
  • Cancellations, refunds, fewer hens In the case of you needing to cancel the event (i.e. your booked hen party with us), the deposit is always non refundable. Once the balance is paid the balance is 50% refundable if you notify us up to 10 days before the event and non refundable if you notify us fewer than 10 days before the event.
