The Mulberry Centre is suitable for a small children’s party with up to 30 guests in total. For hire we offer a main playroom with tables and chairs (20 children chairs and 8 small tables, 8 adult size chairs and 2 large tables), small soft play area – and if required, kitchen annex with a kettle, sink and small oven (no hob) that you can use. We are not able to supply cups, plates and cutlery, so please bring your own.

The whole garden area is included. We offer some outdoor toys for the parties ­ bikes, trikes, balls, tunnels, sandpit sets. As per our hire agreement, we ask not to smoke and not to drink alcohol on premises. We also ask to remove the decorations and leave the Centre clean and tidy. Rubbish bags, brooms, mops and cleaning products are available in the Centre.

You can arrange to pay online or by cheque payable to Myatt's Fields Park Project. If you pay by cheque please use separate cheques for payment and deposit.

Waste free discount: leave no waste in the Mulberry or the park and you'll receive £10 rebate. Note: you must let the caretaker know on the day so they can check.

Income from Centre hire goes towards children's activities in the Centre and the Park.

The Caretaker

On the day of the party an assigned caretaker will open the premises for you. The caretaker will check and lock up the Centre after your party and will give your deposit back if there are no damages done to the premises and the contract has not been breached. We allow up to half an hour of setting up time, free of charge, but we ask our hirers to be ready to leave at 1pm/5pm sharp.

Please note that in winter months the Park is being locked at 4pm. Mulberry Centre has a separate exit straight to Calais Street.
