Parking & Venue Accessibility
If your class is on a Saturday after 11:30pm, you can park all day on the street outside our venue (126 Regent St, Redfern).

If you can't find a space, stay in the left lane and turn left by the Abbotts Hotel onto Raglan St. Then keep turning left until you find yourself on Cope St. There will be unrestricted parking spots on the right hand side.

If your class is on a Sunday, you can park anywhere outside the venue, or on Cope St (right hand side).

Always check parking signs in case they have been updated since writing this.

Unfortunately our venue is not wheelchair or walker accessible due to the steps leading into the venue. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Can we BYO drinks?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own alcoholic and/or non-alcoholic drinks, however, we have a no-spirits policy.
Our venue includes a fridge for your convenience to keep drinks cold.
Can we BYO food?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own food/nibbles to the class. We do require for the food to be placed directly on the tables for participants to nibble on throughout the session. We usually recommend smaller platters to be placed down the centre of the tables.
Can we drop our food/drink off earlier in the day?
This will depend on different factors, whether we have other hen parties on that day that need to use the fridge etc. We unfortunately can't allow drop-offs during class times as it can be disruptive. If you'd like to discuss options of dropping off earlier, please call us beforehand to see what's possible.
Can we bring our own decorations?
While you are welcome to bring your own decorations for your hen party, we want to let you know that we already provide decorations in the form of a complimentary Bride-To-Be banner, confetti sprinkled on the table, and 2 vases with flowers. We believe that these special touches help create a memorable experience and make the day feel special. However, if there's something specific that you would like to include, we're open to discussing it with you. Just let us know!

Please note that we do have some restrictions on the amount and size of decorations that can be brought in, as we have limited space. Any large volume of decorations or large objects left behind, such as corflute signs, extra large cardboard boxes, balloon arches etc, will incur a disposal fee of $100, payable on the day before leaving as this will extend our staff's clean up time and we'll have to arrange another bin collection from our waste service provider.
Can we arrive early to set up some food and decorations?
30 minute pre-access can be arranged for a fee of $100, this needs to be arranged before the day.

Please note, we can only accommodate up to four people during the 30 minute pre-access time to ensure we have full access to the space for setting up.

Alternatively, the door will open for your group 10 minutes before your session start time.
If we arrive early, can we come inside? 
The door will open 10 minutes prior to the start time of your session. This ensures the teacher has sufficient time between sessions to prepare and have a brief break. If you would like to arrive 30 minutes early, the pre-access fee of $100 will apply.
What happens if we're late? 
Our Hen Party workshops are designed to be 2 hours long and arriving on time is crucial to ensure that you have enough time to fully enjoy and complete the class.

If you're taking part in the Polymer class or Trinket Dish, it's absolutely crucial to arrive 10 minutes early to start the session on time. The material needs to cure for 30 minutes, arriving late will heavily impact the session and the teacher will need to simplify the class.

If you're taking part in the textured painting class, arriving late will limit the painting time.

Unfortunately, due to scheduling and preparation for the next session, we are unable to extend the workshop time.
Will there be time to play Hen Party games?
Yes! We think playing hen party games are a great idea. If you've booked into the polymer or trinket dish class, both of these sessions will have a natural 30 minute break while the material cures, this is the best time to play games.
If you've booked any of our other sessions and would like a break to play games, please let the teacher know upon arrival so they can work with you to determine the best time.
Can we bring an Esky and pick it up another day?
Due to lack of storage in our venue, we're unable to store your Esky for a later pickup. We have a fridge which you are welcome to use to keep your drinks cold.
Can we leave our food/drinks beind to pick up another day?
Due to limited space, we are unable to store any food or drinks that are left behind after your event. We want to provide the best experience for all of our guests, and storing food and drinks for pickup at a later time is not something we are able to accommodate due to lack of storage. Any food/drinks left behind will be disposed of after your session.
We're doing the painting class, can we leave our canvases behind to dry?
Yes, we have a dedicated space for your canvases to dry after the session. We kindly ask that you collect them within 10 days due to our limited storage space. The paintings will take 3 days to fully dry. Any canvases left behind after 10 days will be donated to make room for future hens parties.
