Back of Beyond Adventures birthday parties: FAQs

How do I book a children's birthday party?

To make a booking via our website, click the "I’m Ready to Book" button on the Children’s Birthday Party page. From here, complete the form with the details requested and submit. We will then check availability and get in touch with you. You will then receive a payment link and activity disclaimer to sign for your party.

How much do outdoor birthday parties cost?

Prices vary by Back of Beyond Adventures location and activity. However, prices start from £30 per person. 

How do I know what your availability is like?

For an idea of when the party may be available, we would advise checking out our website and using the "Book Now" function. Our booking calendar is updated automatically, so the dates and times available will be our current availability.

What happens if it rains on the day of the booking?

Back of Beyond Adventures parties are an excellent "all-weather" activity. We have received lots of positive feedback from participants who have attended in the rain, with some even saying it added to the fun. We advise dressing appropriately for the weather so that this does not dampen your experience. A spare set of clothes is also recommended, so you can get changed at the end of your activity. Not all of our sites offer changing room facilities, but most of our locations have public toilets available for this.

Do you ever have to close because of the weather?

Safety is always our number one priority, so we occasionally have to close if the weather is deemed unsafe due to adverse weather such as high winds, high river levels, fast flowing currents or thunderstorms. Our team will get in touch as soon as possible via the contact number provided if your visit is impacted. We will also post updates via the Back of Beyond Adventures social media channels too.

Our team on site assesses the weather every morning before opening to the public to ensure it is safe to operate and throughout the day for any changes. If you are not contacted, then your booking will be going ahead as scheduled. 

Do you offer discounts for party bookings?

Unfortunately, we do not offer any further discount for birthday bookings.

I need to make an amendment. Can I do this?

Absolutely. We understand that planning a birthday party can be a stressful experience, and sometimes plans and party sizes change. If you are amending your booking with more than 7-days to your booking date, amendments are free of charge and can be done via our customer service team at info@backofbeyonduk.com, or alternatively by calling 0208 0504051.

If you are within the 7-day period and more than 48 hours before your activity, you will need to contact our booking team to make your amendment. Amendments are subject to a £5 administration fee.

Within 48 hours of your activity, it is not possible to make an amendment

Can I reserve a booking, and do you offer a deposit scheme?

It is not possible to reserve a booking, and we do not offer a deposit scheme. However, our booking terms and conditions are flexible, so you can receive a full refund if you cancel more than 14 days ahead of your birthday party.

What is your minimum / maximum number of people for booking a birthday party?

The minimum number of people for birthday parties is 6 people to secure your private Children’s Party. The maximum number of people for birthday bookings are 10 people for Sit on Top Kayaking and 24 people for Stand Up Paddle boarding! If you would like to book for more participants than is available in your chosen time slot, we advise booking subsequent sessions accordingly or consider booking a mixed craft party. We can discuss this with you after you submit a form.

Who needs to sign the children's safety disclaimers? Is it me or their parents?

The disclaimer needs to be signed by the supervising adult (18+) who will be at the riverside for the duration of the party. Please note that each activity has full instructor supervision ratios.
