Planning a children’s party at Academy Sport Reading? Now known as South Reading Leisure Centre, this venue is on Northumberland Avenue in Whitley. Its indoor sports hall makes it an option to explore for a Wacky Wheelers mini Jeep driving party.
Mini Jeep Parties at Academy Sport Reading
A party for ages 4–8: Wacky Wheelers brings two-seater electric Jeeps, an inflatable track and a host to run the driving fun. Children take turns at the wheel while we organise the activity. Academy Sport Reading is currently a venue suggestion. Before accepting a booking, we need to check hall space, equipment access and permission for our Jeeps.
Sports Hall and Party Facilities
Better lists a sports hall, studios and meeting rooms at South Reading Leisure Centre. The centre also offers its own birthday party packages. However, these are separate from a Wacky Wheelers booking. Ask specifically about hall hire for an external mini Jeep party.
For birthday food and cake, ask about hiring a separate room alongside the hall. Alternatively, check whether tables can sit safely outside the driving area. Agree room capacity, catering facilities and hire charges directly with the centre.
Parking and Equipment Access
The centre is at Northumberland Avenue, Whitley, Reading, RG2 8DF. Better currently lists free on-site parking, including accessible spaces, and accessible facilities. Please check any parking conditions when arranging your visit.
For our equipment, we need to check the unloading point, distance to the hall, doorways and any steps. We will also agree the track layout, permitted Jeep numbers and floor requirements with the venue. Allow setup and packing-away time within your hall booking.
