I've mentioned this before verbally to Labby staff, but never noted it down in a post.

I think a potential good idea - with whatever restrictions might be necessary - would be for Labyrinthe to host children's birthday parties. Be they a 1, 2 or 3 hour morning or afternoon slot or something, with 30-60 minutes for 'party food' at the end (and most children's parties run for about 2 hours including the party food bit, I'd suggest 2.5 - 3 hours bearing in mind the extra 'explanatory' nature of Labyrinthe and weapon training)

I'm not too sure of the age this would be suitable from, but I would suggest 11 or 12 (bearing in mind some of the guests at a 12 year olds party would there likely be 11), but really that is nothing to do with me.

This kind of thing would need a particular kind of adventure & Ref/A-Ref, but you could draw some similarities from 'Laser Quest' or whatever they are called for health & safety/adult supervision and the like.

Personally, I think a simple 2 hour session would run like this :

15 minutes introduction to Labyrinthe & the Caves themselves
15 minutes weapon training
15 minutes kitting out
5 minutes explaining the adventure
30 minutes adventure
10 minute drink & toilet break
30 minutes adventure
1 hour party with party food etc.
Total Hours: 3

Cost : I don't know, £10-£15 a head or £20 with party food ? Costs would obviously be up to Labyrinthe staff to work out.

Not to be overlooked, is the fact that a potential new catchment of prospective members could result from this.
