The first things to consider are which size track is being used, and how many people are coming? First, take account of the track size, then think about the space needed to wait/eat etc.
Small Party – we do have a track where the size is flexible, generally about 10m x 12m. We can take bits out and add bits to make this track fit, but don’t really like going narrower than 8m. However, this track is now rarely used – and only for special circumstances, so the space for a small party is as a standard, below.
Standard Party – this track is about 10m x 15m, or about 1.5 x badminton courts. We can squeeze it a bit so can use less than 10m width, but bear in mind this will then make it longer than 15m!
Large Party – this can be as per the standard track, or adding in a couple of metres length – according to availability of space at the venue. So if there’s space, we can be up to 10m x 17m
Supersize Party – we sometimes use 2 tracks here, or our special supersize track – so will move to fill the space available, but would recommend a minimum of 12 x 20m.
Now the next thing to consider is how much waiting space is required.
Are the parents staying or is it a drop off party. Will you be providing food in the hall or in an ante room? We also need some space for the waiting chairs (as many as there are jeeps) and also for the table football games. So for example, for a 24 child party with standard jeeps and eating in a separate room, there will be 14 waiting. So probably about an extra 10m x 3m is ample. If you’re not sure – just ask and we can help!
