Birthday Party

July 15th 2020: Booking Information for groups after centre re-opening on 25th July.

As we re-open the centre post-covid 19 we will not be providing instructional sessions initially. We hope to be able to accomodate groups such as Birthday Parties from September 1st (or sooner, restrictions allowing). If you are looking to make an advance booking for 1st September onwards please continue to do so. If you have any queries then please contact reception on (0121) 449 8000.

Creation have supplied thousands of birthday parties, many of which come back time and time again. A birthday party package can cater for anything from 4 people upwards to 50 people. Parties operate on a maximum of a 1:8 ratio of instructor to children. They participate by climbing, belaying, or backing up the belayer, all under the watchful eye of the instructors. This ensures that everyone in the group is actively involved at all times, even when their feet are on the ground!

Choose from 3 options:

1 Hour party - Roped climbing and bouldering
1.5 Hour party - Roped climbing and bouldering or caving
2 Hour party - Roped climbing, bouldering and caving

With so many routes on offer we can tailor the session easily to the children's ability, so there's no reason they can't scale at least one of our 18 to 44 feet routes!

Climbing is an exciting, adrenalin rushing sport which puts your mind and body to the ultimate test, but rest assured that at all times your group will be under the watchful eye of one of our instructors.

Your session comes with all the required hire equipment; participants are welcome to hire climbing shoes, though most prefer to climb in their trainers for this short period.

So what do you do when the party's finished? Well a perfect end would be to finish it in style in our function room with a party. We offer full catering facilities at Creation and can provide food for groups of up to 25 at a time (with advance notice) for just £5 per person with a hot meal per individual or a cold food buffet for the group. You are also more than welcome to bring your own food. You also get free use of our music system which you can connect to with either Bluetooth or AUX cable, or bring a CD.

Prefer to cater your own party? Book it for FREE for one hour with any Birthday Party Booking!

FAQ's

What is the minimum age for a birthday party?
The minimum age for all of our instructed sessions is 4.

What is the minimum number of people I can bring to a birthday party?
The minimum number for this package is 4, the maximum can be up to 50 people! Most birthday parties that we deliver tend to be in the numbers of 6 to 12 people.

What will the children do at the party?
Firstly, our instructors will take the group to our back room and set them up on our smaller slabby (vertical) walls. This gives the instructor a good idea of the group's abilities meaning they can decide where to go from there. If a group shows keen interest then we will try to engage them in belaying (that's holding the rope), with our instructor's supervision of course. The group will engage on different walls of different heights and angles, from 20ft through to 44ft. At the end of the session the group will warm down with a short session on our bouldering wall. Your instructor will try to get as many routes in as possible, obviously this does depend upon the group's abilities. If you select an option that includes the cave, the instructor will also lead the group through over 200ft of twisting tunnels, pipes and squeezes, collecting areas and wall climbs!

What about after the party? What options are there?
You can either choose to leave the centre or carry on your party in our function room. We can provide catered facilities for your party with a full buffet spread or a hot meal for just £5 per person. Alternatively, you can just hire the room for FREE and bring your own food with you! Our function room has a stereo and comfortable sofas, and you are free to decorate it as you choose.
