Thinking of booking Monkey-Do for an event?
We’re able to offer various options to suit different requirements and will provide the nets (& swings) and supervise play; we just need a group of mature trees ~3-12m apart. We can also offer rain cover, educational lessons, and lots more….
You can reach out to us at the address below with any question; but, before you to do, have a read through the rest of this page which has additional info you might find useful.
hello @ monkey-do.net
We'll happy to reply via email, or to have a chat on the phone, just let us know what you'd prefer :)
Monkey-Do is not a commercial entity. Being a non-profit organisation, we only ask clients to cover the costs of carrying out work.
We work to commission and want our play installations at events to be free at the point of use, as we believe every child should have the same opportunity to participate.
We're excited about what we do and being a not-for-profit we're first and foremost about sharing our knowledge freely with anyone that is looking to contribute to their community.
For a new client, our process typically starts with a site visit by one of the team to ensure the location is suitable and to conduct a tree assessment from the ground.
We will identity appropriate trees from which to secure nets, branches that may need trimming, and deadwood in the canopy above.
We’ll also check to see if there are suitable areas from which to hang a rope swing!
For any event within a reasonable distance from London, we can then come and rig in the morning with a view to completing the installation by midday.
In the afternoon, we'll supervise play until 4 or 5pm, after which we’ll pack down to make it home by the end of the day.
For events of a longer duration, or that are bigger in scope, we can install nets on the day before, allowing an earlier start.
In such cases, the area should be inaccessible to the general public overnight, which can be something to bear in mind in case the space needs to be sectioned off or stewarded during that time.
We're currently working on creating an updated information sheet (the previous one had a good life, but was a little out of date!) This will contain, amongst other stuff, our prices and the packages we can offer, along with any extra expenses that might be necessary for long distance travel, deadwood clearance (if not handled by contracted arborists), or additional staff when required.
In the meantime, if you see this please get in touch, and we'll tailor something especially for you :)
