Residential
Where are the nearest supermarkets and food shops and can I get a delivery?
Tesco, Asda, Aldi, and Sainsburys are all around 10 minutes from Eaton Vale by car and there is Waitrose in walking distance from site. Eaton also has a chip shop and a Chinese takeaway.
Major supermarkets deliver to Eaton Vale but please ensure all orders contain your group name and an onsite contact number, please wait at the reception for your order at your allocated delivery time, as this is the first place delivery drivers come to find out where you are!
Birthday Parties
Can the parents stay and watch?
We would prefer it if families didn’t stay and watch, as it makes it more difficult for the instructor to deliver the session efficiently.
(We do require one responsible adult to stay and supervise the group )
Can we bring/order food?
Yes. Feel free to bring your own food or even order a takeaway in.
Holiday Club
What time is drop off/pick up?
