Can events run on weekends and how does weekend pricing differ?

Saturday events are possible but cost significantly more than weekday rates, as mentioned in correspondence with clients. Sunday events have specific minimum spend requirements (£6,000 for half-day, £14,000 for full day). Weekend availability may be limited, and the venue recommends flexibility with day of the week or timing to access cheaper alternatives.

Activities include ping pong tables, Ping Pong X (AI-powered tables), beer pong, and karaoke facilities depending on the space. Games Gurus can be hired at £5 + VAT per person to run activities and tournaments with prizes for winning teams. The venue offers break-out areas with activity tables, and some spaces feature UV lighting for atmosphere.

How far in advance should corporate events be booked and what is the booking process?

The venue requires quotes to be reviewed and confirmed promptly, with follow-up calls offered to discuss options in detail. Events can be booked with package upgrades available for bookings made before certain deadlines (such as 31st August for events before 23rd November). Contact is made through events@bouncepingpong.com or 020 3657 6521 for availability and detailed planning.

Are there any restrictions on external suppliers or special requirements?

For additional tech requirements including hybrid events, the venue partners with F1 Sound who can provide quotes based on specifications. The venue can accommodate company branding with logos displayed on TV screens (included in cost). Chair hire is available as an additional service for approximately £1,000-£1,200 for larger groups requiring formal seating arrangements.

What are the setup and access times for corporate events?

Access times vary by event type and space. Conference setups may require early access from 8:00am for 9:00am starts. The venue can extend opening hours, with extension fees applying (such as £2,500 + VAT for postponing public opening until 5pm). Events typically run during standard business hours, with evening events possible depending on space and day of the week.

How is the minimum spend allocated between food, drinks, and activities?

The minimum spend can be allocated flexibly across food pre-orders (sharing style, not buffet), bar tab, and activity costs. Clients can choose specific amounts for food packages and put the remainder towards drinks on the day. Activity costs are included if selecting package deals, or can be allocated separately per person if choosing à la carte options rather than packages.
