What are the minimum spend requirements for private hire at Swingers West End?

Private hire minimum spends vary by space, day, and time. The Palm Lounge costs £9,500 inclusive of VAT and service charge for evening events (18:00-00:00), while the Gin Terrace costs £7,500 inclusive for similar timings. Full venue private hire from 7pm to close costs £4,000 minimum spend plus service charge.

What is included in the service charge and how much is it?

A discretionary service charge is added to all bookings - either 10% or 12.5% depending on the package. This covers staff service throughout your event and is applied to the total spend before VAT.

Can I hold my date without making payment?

No, Swingers cannot put any specific date on hold until you have made an initial payment. Due to high volume of enquiries, dates are only secured once payment is received and a contract is signed.

What are the capacity limits for different private spaces?

The Palm Lounge accommodates up to 50 guests, the Gin Terrace holds up to 50 guests, and the full Meteorite floor can accommodate up to 900 guests. The venue can handle events across two floors for larger groups of 200+ people.

What entertainment and activities are included in private hire?

Private hire includes one round of 9-hole crazy golf per person with scheduled tee-off times, Carnival arcade games (5-9 games per person depending on package), and a DJ playing from 18:00. The venue also has a 3D photo podium and all-weather terrace access.

Are there age restrictions for events at Swingers West End?

Swingers is usually an 18+ venue, but children are allowed on Sundays only during specific family sessions: 11am-12:30pm, 12:30pm-2pm, 2pm-3:30pm, and 3:30pm-5pm. All under 18s must vacate the venue before 6pm on Sundays.

What are the standard package options and pricing?

Three main packages are available: Jet Set (£66 per person) includes 3 house drinks, street food, dessert, and 90-minute reserved area; All Set (£78 per person) includes 90 minutes unlimited drinks, street food, dessert, and games; Ultimate Set (£98 per person) includes 3 hours unlimited drinks, street food, dessert, and games. All prices exclude 10% service charge.

What food and beverage options are available for private events?

The venue offers street food from three of London's best vendors including Pizza Pilgrims, Patty&Bun, Breddos Tacos, and Crosstown. Drinks include cocktails, house wines, beers, and soft drinks. Private events can be structured with minimum spends split between golf, food, and drinks rather than per-person packages.

What technical facilities are available for corporate events?

The Gin Terrace has speakers available for presentations or music. The venue can accommodate corporate requirements but specific AV needs should be confirmed with the operational team during the booking process.

What are the typical event timings and operating hours?

Private events typically run from 17:30/18:00 to midnight or close. Daytime events can start from 12:00. The venue offers flexibility on timing but evening slots from 7pm onwards require higher minimum spends than afternoon events.
