5 FAQs Can I bring my own food? You are welcome to bring baby food, a special celebration cake or sweets should you wish. Any other food or drink must be provided by Battersea Arts Centre, unless specifically arranged otherwise. Can we eat in the Bees Knees? For health and safety reasons we keep food and drink out of the Bees Knees so that we can keep it clean. We will serve your party food just outside the Bees Knees, in the foyer, or alternatively we can reserve a space in our café bar or waiting room if you wish. We are happy to add your personal decorations to these areas. Can I set up before the party? Any set up and clearing away must be done within your 3-hour timeslot, so we recommend that you invite guests a little after the start of your hire. Your guests are more than welcome to relax in our café if they arrive early. Can I put decorations up? Yes, but we ask that you don t use cellotape on the walls to protect the paint work. As a listed building we have legal limitations in terms of damage to the building therefore decoration on the Bees knees walls is prohibited. You may use blue tac on the wooden furnishings in the room. Please avoid use of confetti or streamers, all balloons must be tied on to weights at floor level or tied to furniture inside the Bees Knees. The string must be no longer than a metre and not floating anywhere near our ceilings as this is where our overhead heaters are.

The capacity of the Bees Knees space is 40, whatever the ratio of adults and children. Can I leave my children alone in the Bees Knees? The Bees Knees hosts are not able to supervise children.
