FAQ’S
Where do I park?
Unfortunately we don’t have the control to change where Google Maps takes you (we wish we did). So listen up, here’s how to get to find us!
For the car park above the venue use the postcode SO16 7LT (Vermont Close). Once on Vermont Close bear off to the left past the swimming pool and school. At the end of the road turn right and this will lead you to the car park. Take the steps down to reception.
You can park your car at The Sports Centre but please be aware, from here we are about a 10 minute walk through the Sports Centre. You will not be able to take your car into the Sports Centre!
Donutting - Can my child sit on my lap?
No, it is not safe to have a child sit on a parents lap. You can however, hold onto each others donut whilst coming down.
What is the minimum child's age?
The minimum age a child can be to participate is 6 years old. Due to the type of ski lift, younger children can find it difficult to use. We also go from the larger slope, which can be scary for younger children.
What do I wear?
We recommend comfortable clothing. Most of the time you should wear long sleeves and long trousers, however if it’s very hot, we can relax this rule.
You MUST wear closed toe shoes at all times.
Can we borrow equipment?
Yes – We provide all essential equipment like the Donut and sledge.
We recommend you bring your own helmet and gloves but if you don’t have them, we can lend you a helmet and you can purchase gloves.
What if it rains?
Yes, Donutting can go ahead in whatever weather. If the Duty Manager feels it’s too dangerous (ie thunder and lightening) then they will contact you and rearrange the booking.
