What Panda-Monium actually is

Small enough to see them from your table.

One room, one frame, and you in it.

Panda-Monium is not a warehouse. It is one barn with one frame in it, which means you can sit down with a coffee and still watch your cub go up the middle level and come down the yellow slide. Nobody vanishes into a maze of netting three floors up.

It is built for cubs aged 0 to 6. For a rainy Tuesday, for a play date, for the two hours between nursery pick up and tea, and for birthdays.

Honestly, if your children are nine and ten and they want a trampoline park and a zip wire, we are not the right place and there are two down the road that are. We are for the small ones, and for the grown ups who came with them.

  • Three level frame with tube slides, climbing rails and netting
  • A ball pit inside the frame for the bigger cubs
  • A fenced baby and toddler area, separate from the main frame
  • Rainbow padded matting underfoot
  • Cafe tables at the side, in sight of all of it

Before you set off

  • Last entry is one hour before we close
  • Socks must be worn on the play equipment, grown ups included if you are going up
  • Only food and drink bought here can be eaten in the playbarn, unless it is arranged with us beforehand. Birthday cake at a party is the obvious exception
  • Play five times and your sixth visit is free. Ask at the counter for a card
For the client, not for the public: these are the prices published on your current site, where the heading still reads "Admission, from April 2022". Confirm they are current and we will set them live. Prices live in the diary tool from now on, so you can change them yourself in about ten seconds.

Birthday parties

You bring the cake. We do everything else.

Two hours of play, half an hour of buffet, invites, party bags, and a Golden Ticket for the birthday cub.

Organising a birthday party is a job nobody puts their hand up for. You need a date that is actually free, a number of children you can commit to before anyone has replied, food they will genuinely eat, and somewhere that still works if it buckets down. Then you need to find a window in your working day to ring a soft play centre and ask whether the twelfth is free.

So we have put the whole thing on this page. Pick your date and see straight away whether it is free. Pick your package, tell us how many cubs, add sweet cones or the ice cream station if you want them, and the total updates as you go with the deposit split out. Pay the £50 deposit and the date is yours.

The packages

Pick the one that fits your list.

Prices are per party, all in, before any extras. Tap one to start a booking with it chosen.

Every party package includes

  • Two hours of play at Panda-Monium
  • Thirty minutes for a hot and cold party buffet, served in our party room
  • Panda-Monium invites to hand out
  • An "I've Partied at Panda-Monium" party bag for every cub
  • A free return play for the birthday cub, the Golden Ticket
  • All you need to bring is the birthday cake

£50 non-refundable deposit on booking. Final payment is required 7 days prior to the party.

For the birthday cub

Every birthday cub gets a Golden Ticket.

A real printed voucher, gold and green, good for a free return visit.

It is not a line in a package list. It is a proper printed ticket with the panda on it, handed to the birthday cub on the day, and it gets them back in to play again for free. Included with every package, no extra charge, nothing to claim.

A party bag, a Party Invite card, and the gold and green Golden Ticket voucher for a free return visit to Panda-Monium.

Optional extras

Little things that make the table look brilliant.

Add them while you book, or add them later, up to a week before.

Sweet cones and party bags arranged in a circle, a rainbow of greens, pinks, blues and yellows, each topped with the panda roundel.

Adult platters

Fancy treating the grown ups at your party too?

Arty Parties

For cubs who would rather make something than climb it.

£240 for 8 to 12 Panda Artists, two hours upstairs in The Den.

Not everybody wants the frame. Some of them want an apron, a table, and to come home holding something they made.

Arty Parties run in The Den upstairs. Two hours, and each artist picks and mixes two art projects of their choice to take home. They personalise their own goody bag to carry the work in, so it survives the car. Food is a hot or cold box meal chosen on arrival, with a Fruit Shoot or water. Then a birthday donut stack with a candle in it, which photographs better than a cake and nobody has to slice.

Please note there is no soft play included in an Arty Party. It is the upstairs room, the tables and the making, start to finish.

  • £240 for between 8 and 12 Panda Artists
  • Two hours in the Panda-Monium Den, upstairs
  • Two art projects each, picked on the day, taken home
  • A personalised goody bag to carry the work in
  • Hot or cold box meal chosen on arrival, plus a Fruit Shoot or water
  • Birthday donut stack and candle
  • Panda-Monium invites included
Your parties page says ages 6 to 12 and your What's New page says 6 to 10, for the same package. Tell us which and we will set it. Until then the site does not state an age, rather than guessing.

The Den

Upstairs, and yours by the hour.

Our function room, for classes, groups, workshops and meetings.

The Den is the room above the barn. Lime green wall on one side, sunshine yellow on the other, bunting along the ceiling, small chairs and low tables, and enough space to run a class in. Five providers already use it every week in term time. If you run something and you need a regular room in Horsehay, we do bulk bookings so you can hold the same slot every week.

No form to download. Tell us what you run and when you would want it, and we will come back to you.

The Snack Shack

Panda-licious food, and a No Nonsense Coffee Guide.

Ian bakes fresh here every morning. Food hygiene rating 5, inspected 21 October 2025.

The hand written hot drinks chalkboard headed No Nonsense Coffee Guide, on the orange wall by the counter.

The No Nonsense Coffee Guide

There is a chalkboard on the wall by the counter that lists the coffee on one side and what it actually is on the other. Order it however you like.

Transcribed from the photograph of your board, which is not fully legible on the last two lines. Send us a clean photo, or we will read it off the wall, and we will set it word for word.
A slice of chocolate cake beside a cappuccino, with syrup bottles and storage jars on the shelf behind.

Something for you as well

Fresh bakes made here every morning: lemon traybake, chocolate brownies, chocolate tiffin, iced sponge with sprinkles. Buy 9 hot drinks and the 10th is free.

A burger in a bun with chips, a pot of coleslaw and a side salad on a white plate.

Proper food, not just chips

Paninis toasted and cut with tortilla chips and salad, burgers with chips and coleslaw, loaded nachos, garlic bread with dips, and big sharing platters.

Three Shmoo milkshakes in domed cups topped with whipped cream, on the wooden counter.

Shmoo milkshakes and the ice cream station

Shmoo milkshakes in domed cups with cream on top, and the build your own ice cream station with sprinkles, chocolate balls and wafer rolls.

Your menu only exists as an image at the moment, so no dish prices appear anywhere on this page. Send it as text and we will set the whole thing properly, which also means Google can finally read it.

What people say

4.5 from 186 people who actually came.

4.5out of 5, from 186 Google reviews

We would rather show you the real number than a wall of five stars. 186 families have left a Google review since we opened in 2019 and the average is 4.5. Some of them tell us the coffee is good, some of them tell us when we got it wrong, and we would rather you read both.

Read all 186 on Google

For the client, not for the public: we have deliberately left this space empty rather than fill it. Your current site shows reviews as screenshot images, which Google cannot read and a screen reader cannot read either. Send us three or four real quotes from your Google page, or say the word and we will copy them across, and they go in here as real text. We will not write review quotes for you.

Questions

The things people ring up to ask.

Do I need to book to come and play?
No. Walk in whenever suits you. Last entry is one hour before we close. Parties and Arty Parties do need booking.
What ages is it for?
Cubs aged 0 to 6. Under 6 months play free.
Does everyone need socks?
Yes, socks must be worn on the play equipment, grown ups included if you are going up there. Bring a spare pair, they are easy to forget.
Will my baby be in with the big ones?
No. The baby and toddler area is fenced and separate from the main frame.
Can we bring our own food?
Only food and drink bought here can be eaten in the playbarn, unless it has been arranged with us beforehand. Birthday cake at a party is the exception, and we want you to bring that.
How do I book a party, and how much is the deposit?
Use the booking button on this page, or ring or WhatsApp 07594 259899. Every package takes a £50 non-refundable deposit on booking, and the final payment is due 7 days before the party.
Is there parking?
This one is for Panda-Monium to answer, and we have not guessed it. It will be filled in before the site goes live.
Do adults pay to come in?
Also for Panda-Monium to answer. Their price list covers children only, which usually means grown ups are free, but we are not going to state that without being told.
