Children's parties
If you’re organising a party for your kids, Lifestyles is a great choice with a number of venues across the city to choose from.
Choose your party type
Our party options are below. We require a £50 deposit at the time of booking (£60 for Aquatics Centre), which is non-refundable, and the balance must be paid a week before the party.
You must arrange your own catering (cold food and drinks or outside catering) and we ask that parents arrive 10 minutes early to set up and clear up any rubbish before you leave.
If you choose a pool party
Pool parties are aimed at children over 8. Children under 8 must be with an adult if entering the pool, based on our adult to child ratios:
- Under 4 years: 1 adult to 1 child
- 4-7 years: 1 adult to 2 children
The pool capacity is the total number of adults and children in the pool.
Children must be taller than 1 metre to use inflatables (must be at least 1.1 metres to use inflatable and flume at Garston).

See the table below for party options available across centres.
The 2 hour slots include one hour's play in the pool, followed by one hour in the party area for food.
