Age Restrictions

Our hens party classes are designed for adults, and while we’re happy to welcome teens aged 13+ if they’re part of your group, some workshops are strictly 18+ (like our naughty hens party).

Under no circumstances can children, babies, or prams be brought into the studio for any hens party.

The age restriction is clearly listed on each class page under the “Who can come” section. Please ensure your whole group is aware before booking, as underage guests will not be permitted to enter on the day. Refunds or credits will not apply.

Parking

If your class is on a Saturday before 11:30am, we recommend parking on Cope St where you’ll find a few unrestricted street parking spots.

If your class is on a Saturday after 11:30am, there’s unrestricted parking for the rest of the day, right outside our venue on Regent St.

On Sundays, you can park anywhere outside the venue or on Cope St.

Please always double-check local signage in case restrictions have changed.

Arriving & Setting Up

Can we come early to set up?

30 minute pre-access can be arranged for a fee of $100, this needs to be arranged before the day, and can’t always be added as it depends on our schedule for the day.
‍
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.

Without the pre-access arrangement, the door will open for your group 10 minutes before your session start time.

If we arrive early, can we wait inside?

Venue Accessibility

Our Redfern venue is located at street level, but please note there are a few steps at the entrance, which unfortunately makes the space inaccessible to wheelchairs and walkers.

Additionally, the bathroom is very narrow and not suitable for mobility aids like walkers or wheelchairs.

If accessibility is a concern for someone in your group, please get in touch.

BYO Food, Drinks, Decorations & Entertainment

Can we bring our own drinks?

Absolutely! BYO alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome, except for straight spirits. Pre-mixed cans are fine. We have a 124L Bar Fridge for you to use during your session.

Can we bring our own food?

Yes – finger food, grazing boards, cupcakes, pizzas, anything you like. We recommend bringing everything already in catering boxes to make the setup easy.

Can we organise a topless waiter?

Yes – you’re welcome to arrange a topless waiter for your session! We just ask that you let us know in advance if this has been organised so we can add it to the booking notes.

Please note, we can’t allow any cheeky dances or the removal of clothes by the waiter.

Can we drop food/drinks off earlier?

We may be able to accept non-perishable food/drinks in the days leading up to the hens.

We may not be able to place your items in the fridge until 1h before your class start time, as there may be other hens parties needing the fridge before your session.

Just send us an email if you’d like to discuss options.

Can we bring our own decorations?

Yes – but keep in mind our venue already has the wow factor by how it’s been painted, and we already provide a Bride-To-Be banner on the wall, sprinkle confetti on the tables, and pop vases of pink flowers on the tables.

Note: Large decorations (balloon arches, giant boxes, cardboard cutouts of the groom, corflute signs etc) need to be taken with you at the end of your session. Leaving items such as these behind will incur a $100 disposal fee to cover additional staff cleaning time and waste collection.

During The Class

Will there be time for games?

Yes! Some of our classes have a natural break when the projects need to cure, this is a great time to play 1-2 hens party games. For classes that don’t have a natural break, speak with your teacher upon arrival and they will work with you to arrange a time for the games.

We’ve created a couple of editable game templates here if you’d like to use them.

Can we play our own music?

Yes! We have spotify streaming through our speakers. You can join our existing playlist through a jam and add songs to queue, or you can pop your own playlisit on at any time throughout the session, just ask your teacher.

Please note, all music need be played through our venue’s devices as our speakers are not connected via bluetooth.

Storage & Pickups

Can we leave food or drinks behind?

No – anything left behind will be disposed of after your session due to limited storage.

Can we bring an esky and collect it another day?

We don’t recommend bringing an esky. We have a fridge for you to use to keep drinks cold throughout your session. If you do bring an esky, it unfortunately can’t be left behind and will need to be taken with you at the end of your session.

Can we leave our project behind?

Yes – projects that are difficult to take with you on the day can be left at the studio to collect another day.

Paintings will take up to 48 hours to be fully dry.

Candles will take 24 hours to fully harden.

Soaps will take 24 hours to set.

We’ll store your projects for 30 days. Invidivuals can come by to collect their own work, or one person can collect for the entire group. Here is a link to our pickup windows.
