How far in advance must bookings be secured and what deposit is required?

Swingers cannot hold dates without payment due to high demand - you must make an initial payment to secure your booking. The venue receives a high volume of enquiries, so they advise moving quickly once you decide on a date. Specific deposit amounts and payment terms are provided after accepting a proposal.

What are the age restrictions and family-friendly options?

Swingers is typically an 18+ venue, but offers family packages for younger demographics. On Sundays only, under-18s are allowed during specific sessions: 11am-12:30pm, 12:30pm-2pm, 2pm-3:30pm, and 3:30pm-5pm. All under-18s must vacate before 6pm on Sundays. A curated kids menu includes juices, sodas, slushies, and dishes from street food vendors.

What entertainment and technical facilities are included?

For presentations, in-house AV including screens and microphones can be arranged. All private spaces include complimentary cloakroom facilities.

What food and beverage options are available?

Street food is provided by three of London's best vendors including Pizza Pilgrims, Patty&Bun, Breddos Tacos, and Crosstown. Minimum spends are split between golf, drinks, and food components. Private bars are included with hire, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options are available. Specific dietary requirements including halal and vegetarian options can be accommodated.

What happens if my event requirements don't match standard offerings?

Swingers may decline bookings that don't align with their capabilities or budget requirements. They've indicated some enquiries are "not suitable" based on specific requirements or budget constraints. For events requiring special operational considerations, they consult with their operational team before confirming feasibility and sending proposals.

Are there restrictions on dates or times for corporate bookings?

The venue gets very busy during peak periods, particularly for Christmas parties in December. Some dates may not be available at West End but alternatives at Swingers City might be offered. Evening events typically run until midnight or 23:00, while daytime events can start from 12:00. Specific time slots depend on the space and day of the week.

What's included in the Christmas party packages?
