Planning a children’s party around Woodley, Earley or Reading? Bulmershe Leisure Centre on Woodlands Avenue is worth exploring. With an indoor sports hall, pools, a café and family activities, it gives you another local venue idea for an active birthday celebration.
Indoor Sports Hall for a Mini Jeep Party
The sports hall is the space to ask about for a Wacky Wheelers driving party. Our two-seater electric mini Jeeps, music, driving games and inflatable track bring the entertainment indoors, so the British weather can do its own thing outside.
Our parties are for children aged 4–8, and our standard inflatable track measures 15 × 10 metres. When discussing a hall booking, ask about the clear floor space, access and hire arrangements for an external entertainer. A viewing is a useful way to see how the space would work for your celebration.
Birthday Tea and the Café
Bulmershe has an on-site café serving drinks, snacks and children’s meal bags. For a birthday celebration, ask what party-food space and catering options are available with your booking. The centre’s published food policy asks visitors to use food supplied on the premises, with exceptions for dietary requirements it cannot cater for. Agree cake and birthday-tea arrangements directly with the centre.
Family Activities and Facilities
The centre also runs its own children’s party packages, including pool-and-inflatable, Active Adventure Bounce and Active Play & Bounce parties. Those packages are booked directly with the centre; for Wacky Wheelers entertainment, enquire about hiring the hall for our driving party.
The wider leisure centre has pools, a gym, studios and an indoor cycling studio. Its accessibility features include accessible parking near the entrance, a passenger lift, wheelchair-accessible turnstiles, changing facilities and toilets.
Parking and Access
The centre’s visitor information lists free parking on site, with extra free parking in neighbouring Addington School’s car park from 5pm. It currently says customers do not need to register their vehicle details. Follow the signs on arrival and allow time to park at busy periods.
Ask about the best unloading route and vehicle access when arranging your hall hire, along with time for setting up and packing away the party equipment.
