Your reservation time is 3 hours long. You can notify your guests of a timeframe that suites your personal preference, as long as it is within the window of your scheduled party time. Hosts should know before arrival how they want to organize their time. Having a game plan for your guests helps you and them have a great time here at Merrymead.
We find that once your group is together it is best to keep them in the party area for food & cake first. Your activity bands should be distributed to your guests upon arrival and then can go do the activities in a timeframe you see fit. Please be sure to communicate with your guests the end time of your party incase they get separated from the group while doing the activities here at the farm. It is a good idea to give guests a specific time to comeback to the party area for either more fellowship or clean- up.
