It is up to the adult as to what you are happy for your child to eat and drink. If you would like to book this course as a birthday party I can incorporate up to 6 children in the workshop but there is less seating/space available for the adults so I would advise nominating 2-3 adults to assist the party. I can do birthday cake presentations or add in some little extras if you would like, such as different snacks, treats, decorations or music etc. I can't do any sort of cooked food or meals due to health and safety and the nature of the workshop environment. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch!
