Discovery is closed on Public Holidays, so we cannot arrange a sleepover night of, or the day before, a Public Holiday.
We order pizza from Dominos, which cater for gluten and lactose intolerances, but should you have any specific dietary requirements let us know and we will seek a suitable alternative.
