Please check the size of your garden and that the space is free from paving, decking, furniture, overhanging trees and other obstacles to allow for guy ropes and safe set up.

Please note, our bell tents cannot be out in winds that exceed 50mph. If the wind conditions exceed this, for safety reasons, the booking will need to be rescheduled.

All you need to supply is the movie!

Our gorgeous picnic igloos come with a low-level picnic table, table décor, place settings, rugs, and luxury accent cushions to suit your chosen theme.

Our waterproof igloos are 3.6m in diameter so you need to ensure you have a flat level area that is 3.7m x 3.7m for safe installation. We can only install on paving or decking due to issues with condensation if igloos are setup on grass.

Please note, our igloos cannot be out in winds that exceed 40mph. If the wind conditions exceed this, for safety reasons, the booking will need to be rescheduled.

Our movie nights package brings the full cinema experience to you! Can be used inside or outside as part of your Amchella Events experience or you can hire it on its own. The basic package is for 4 party guests and includes a 100” screen, a projector and stand, DVD player, power extension lead, as well as mountains of comfy cushions, rugs, blankets and of course popcorn for the perfect night at the movies!

All you need to do is supply the movie as we do not supply any movies due to copywrite laws. Our equipment is compatible with lots of different devices - Firestick, Roku box, LaptopPS3 /4, Xbox, TV boxes such as Sky and Virgin – using an HDMI cable that we supply, allowing you to online stream your own Netflix or film streaming accounts onto the big screen!

Alternatively, if your chosen device requires a WiFi connection, please take this into account when selecting your set-up area, especially if this is outdoors.

The equipment is not waterproof so it should not be left outside overnight. If during your hire, the weather conditions become unsuitable for outdoor use (wet and / or windy) the equipment should be brought indoors.

Our projector has 5500 lumens which is an excellent spec for outdoor use, however we recommend the best time to use the equipment outdoors is at dusk as the picture will be enhanced by the dimmer light conditions giving you the best experience. Obviously if you are setting up your movie night experience indoors, all you need to do is turn of fthe lights and shut the curtains / blinds.

To ensure your party guests get a good night’s sleep at your sleepover party, we do not use unreliable air beds. We provide super comfy hypoallergenic memory foam mattresses for maximum comfort. Two mattress sizes are available – standard mattresses are 180cm x 90cm and our small mattresses are 160cm x 70cm.

For our outdoor bell tent, you will need a relatively flat level area in your garden or venue that is approximately 7m by 7m. Our bell tent is 5m, so we need the extra space to ensure the tent’s guy ropes are safely and securely attached to the ground.

Our waterproof igloos are 3.6m in diameter so you need to ensure you have a flat level area that is 3.7m x 3.7m for safe installation. We can only install on paving or decking due to issues with condensation if igloos are setup on grass.

Given the unpredictability of the British weather, we ask that you always have a Plan B in case the weather isn’t very good on the day of your booking. We suggest a watertight and waterproof gazebo or indoor space is available in case we cannot set up outdoors.

We operate within a 10-mile radius of BR5, which means we cover the following postcode areas:

• All BR and SE postcodes,

• DA 1-10 & DA 14-18

• TN13-16,DR2,6&7,RH8

Parties within a 10-mile radius of Petts Wood will have the delivery costs included in their party package. We frequently receive requests to travel far and wide in the South-East and, of course, we are happy to travel out of our free delivery area, however there is a small delivery fee of £50 plus mileage costs of £1 per mile to cover the time and petrol implications associated with travelling further distances to setup and style the party. (Please note the mileage costs are applicable on the return journey for both delivery and collection of the sleepover party hire).

Once you have decided on your party size and theme please contact us through our Facebook or Instagram pages, via email on amchella@icloud.com or call / DM us on 07368 252132 to make the booking.

If you haven’t quite decided on a theme, don’t worry, we are happy to discuss the options with you.

When you book with us, we will issue a booking invoice. We kindly request a £50 non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to secure the party date with the remaining balance due 14 days before the party.We accept cash, cheque or bank transfer.

In addition to the £50 non-refundable deposit to secure your booking, there is also a refundable damages and breakages waiver of £100 for bell tent, movie night and igloo hire and £50 for all other parties required at the time of booking. This will be refunded to you after the party, within 7 days of the event, so we can thoroughly check the equipment for heavy soiling, breakages or missing items. In the unlikely event that any items are damaged or missing, replacement costs will be deducted from the refundable damages andbreakages waiver. Any attempted repairs to items damaged will void the damages waiver and no refund will be given.

We will arrange a suitable time to set up for you on the day of the party, as well as a convenient time to come and collect the following morning. All we need from you is the room or area to be cleared so there is enough space for us to work our magic! Set up can take between 1-2 hours depending on the package, number of tents and level of styling required.

Cancellations will incur the following charges:

• Less than 1 weeks’ notice - 100% of the booking value.
