  • If you contact us with less than the agreed time above, we may still be able to postpone your booking but only if we have time to cancel your booking and sell the tickets.

  • However, we cannot refund you if people do not turn up to your session.
  • The capacity at the moment for a session is 61 on weekdays, and 51 at weekends. This doesn’t include the people that attend  parties. so there will be others in the main hall.
  • If you wish to guarantee no other people, then you would need to book a ‘Private Hire’ party that gives you around 55 minutes of the hall to yourselves.
  • I’m afraid you cannot bring your own food. however, the cafe is open for orders.
  • I;m afraid we don’t run tabs.

You can have a ‘Floor Party’. This is done by making multiple standard bookings and, put simply, we push the tables together for you as long as we have been told prior to the session. You may bring a cake (we can supply a knife) but we ask that this is not eaten at Playtrain, but taken home in supplied napkins. Naked flames are not allowed on the main floor so no lit candles please.

No other provision will be made, and you will not have access to a party room. Please be aware, in the interests of our other customers and our staff, that one adult must take charge of the group and all party paraphernalia (cake, wrapping paper etc) must be removed and taken home. We can supply a black bag.

All other terms and conditions apply.

There’s no guarantee Playtrain will or won’t be busy, but the 9:30am session usually fills up quicker than most. And when it rains we are always busy!

Our website can now tell you how many spaces there are left for booking in a session.

Please be aware that if our booking system is displaying only one space left, this means the session is full (minimum booking is for two people).
