What do I need to bring?

While we try to provide all of the requirements that you will need for your class, from time to time a particular workshop class may require you to bring along something extra. All BYO equipment will be clearly stated at the time of booking.

Apart from that all you need is- you, your fun-spirit and a print out of your ticket.

May I bring along snacks?

As per Club policy, external food and beverages are not to be consumed on Club premises. Food and beverages are available for purchase from the multiple outlets within the Club and some workshops may even include a light snack.

What if I can't make the workshop class?

Please choose carefully as our workshop classes are non-refundable. If you can’t attend a workshop for whatever reason, you are welcome to send someone in your place. If you choose to do so, please send us an email with details of your replacement.

What if my class is cancelled?

While extremely rare, at times we may need to cancel one of the scheduled workshop classes. If we need to cancel a class for any reason, we will provide a minimum of 24 hours notice and will provide a full refund of the class fee.

How do I make a group booking?

We can organise private workshops for group bookings of 10 or more. Private workshop classes are a unique way to celebrate hens parties, bucks parties, bridal showers or baby showers. They’re also ideal for team building and make for a perfect corporate event. Contact us to arrange a fully-customised private workshop for your friends or colleagues.
