PARTY ROOM ACCESS
BYO food, cake and presents can be enjoyed in our fairy forest-inspired party room. Festively decorated with trees, grass, mushrooms and a big dollhouse! Under the twinkling lights sits a long low table and chairs with a large birthday banner hung between the trees. A sheet of white paper with markers and colourful paper crowns on the table, creates an inviting activity for guests while they wait for cake. Our party room has a sink, a banquet for party food display, and counter space for extra party supplies. As beautiful as this room is...young party guests generally prefer to be in the main studio most of the time. For this reason, extra decorations (balloons, table cloth etc) are unnecessary. Party room access is not included with space rentals.
