Terms and Conditions

When you make a booking with Mucky Picnic, you must agree to our terms and conditions.

BOOKINGS, REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS

A booking is only confirmed once payment has been received.

TERM BOOKINGS: Please note that Term Bookings cannot be refunded or rescheduled. If you book a full term of classes and are unable to attend one of the classes, you are welcome to offer the place for that class to a friend. Just let us know in advance so we can take note of any allergies, health conditions etc.

DROP-IN BOOKINGS: If you have booked a Drop-In Session but won’t be able to make it, please give minimum 72 hours notice to allow the space to be filled: we will try our best to issue a refund. If you give less than 72 hours notice, we unfortunately won’t be able to issue a refund or reschedule.

Please let us know as soon as you can if you are unable to attend a class. If you have passed the refund deadline you can pass your ticket on. Email us or DM us on Instagram. 

If Mucky Picnic has to cancel a class for any reason, we will provide an alternative date, or offer a refund.

We cannot offer a refund for a class missed due to illness, however you are welcome to pass your ticket on to a friend. Just let us know if you would like to give your space to someone else.

VENUE, CLASSES AND SUPERVISION

Children must be fully supervised by their parent/guardian at all times during the class. This is to ensure the safety and enjoyment of the class for both the child themselves, and other families in attendance.

Material Safety: As this is a messy, sensory session, we use lots of different materials, including some small parts/inedible materials. Please supervise your child at all times to ensure these are not swallowed.

Dress for mess! By nature, Mucky Picnic classes are messy so make sure to wear pre-loved clothes. It’s never a bad idea to bring a spare change of clothes just incase, along with a towel.

Mucky Picnic’s venue is a shared community space, so please treat the staff, venue and other visitors with respect.

No running is allowed indoors.

Do not litter and please bring your rubbish away with you.

Respect venue parking. Do not park in reserved spaces (eg: for staff parking), on footpaths, at entrances, over access ramps, etc. Use the visitor spaces provided where available. Be mindful of parking restrictions or ticketing: if you park you do so at your own risk. Mucky Picnic are not responsible for parking fines, costs associated, damage or theft. Parking may vary from venue to venue, so please see individual events for this information or send us an email.

Please make sure to bring all of your belongings with you. Mucky Picnic are not responsible for lost/stolen property.
