A Great Celebration For You And Your Friends
SPORTS PARTIES FOR CHILDREN AGED 5+
We have been hosting Birthday Parties and End of Term Parties for Schools & Clubs for over 16 years. Their popularity has been self-promoting with many children, their friends and siblings coming back year after year.
Choose from the following sports - Football, Uni-hockey, Tag-Rugby, Netball or a spot of Indoor Cricket. You may prefer to choose a 'Fun Fitness' party which includes a warm up game, a burst of Uni-Hockey and Football, relay races and, if requested, parachute games.
The duration of a party is 1 hour 45 minutes. The first hour is fully supervised by a member of staff and is the sports party element. The second period of time is spent enjoying a meal in your designated Party Room. The food order is taken shortly after the children arrive - Chicken Breast Pieces in Batter, Pork Sausages, Jumbo Cod Fish Finger, Cheese & Tomato Pizza or Veggie Nuggets all served with fries. Jelly & Ice Cream follows and there is plenty of orange squash to drink.
For one hour's supervised activity, the rate is £50 for up to and inclusive of 16 children. For 17 to 25 children the rate is £65. You pay the rate relevant at the time of booking. Party groups larger than 25 quoted on an individual basis. The meal is £3.50 per child. You only pay for the number of children that eat on the day. We regret that due to health & safety and insurance purposes, clients are not permitted to provide their own catering unless for special dietary requirements for any child(ren) concerned.
Important notes for organising parent(s):
- The organising parent(s) must be in attendance at the Party to help escort children to and from toilets and to supervise children whilst eating. Catering Staff are on hand to serve food onl
y.
- Children not participating or those that choose to 'sit out' of any game are the responsiblity of the Organising Parent.
- We advise the organising parent to ensure that a parent of any children with food allergies or who may require medication administered to remain in attendance.
- Participation and spectating of sport implies acceptance of some risk of injury.
- Please remember to bring a Party Cake and Party Bags if required.
- "Happy Birthday" is sung between courses to allow time to cut the cake whilst children are eating their dessert. We will be happy to cut and wrap your cake in your serviettes for you.
- Please ensure the invitations are clearly marked with the finishing time.
- Please do not arrive more than 10 minutes before your start time.
- You will be designated an eating area and court area for the sports activities on the day.
- Shortly after you have been greeted, a member of staff will commence the food order.
- Full payment is due on the day and can be made by cash, cheque or credit/debit card. Please make cheques payable to "Bentham Country Club" - thank you.

During the phone call we will answer any further questions you may have and take the following details - The date and time required, your name, your address, your phone number, your child's name and age, the number of children attending, and the sport(s) chosen.
After booking your party, you will be sent confirmation of your booking, complimentary invitations and for your convenience, a useful guest list sheet.
Should the number of children increase above the 16 children threshold, it is important that you inform Bentham Country Club no later than 5 days prior so as we can ensure an extra staff member, court and room arrangements are available. It is also important to inform us in advance (48 hours) if any children have any special dietary requirements so as we can ensure availability and separate cooking requirements.
Complementing Your Party
Here are some tips for parents which will help compliment your party booking:
- To increase your chance of securing your 'ideal' date & time, you want to be allowing 4 weeks before the event when booking.
- Double check your date and consider if your child's friends are likely to be able to attend (e.g. Bank Holidays, World Cup Final, out of school clubs etc)
- Use the 'confirmation of booking' to record childrens contact numbers in case of emergency.
- Some parents like to bake their own Birthday Cake, if you have not got the time (or patience!) good value cakes can be purchased from leading supermarkets. Some offer a picture-to-cake service.
- Supermarkets sell 'themed' serviettes e.g. Spiderman. We can then use them to wrap slices of cake for the party bags.
- Party bags can be prepared cheaply. A few sweets and small toy always works well.
- If the children have finished their food in 'record time', why not prepare a few games for playing at the dinner table, e.g. Chinese Whispers, or A-Z of Premiership Football Players.
- You can also bring in your child's favourite CD for playing on our stereo (please request on the day)
