Some businesses offer session packs — a whole season of weekly classes, or a multi-day camp — that you book in one payment. Instead of booking each session yourself, you choose the pack and we book every session for you.
Where You'll See This
A session pack can appear in a few places:
- On the booking page, a highlighted bar reads "Book the whole [pack name]" above the calendar, with a Book button. Underneath, a hint reminds you that you can still book individual sessions in the calendar below if you'd rather.
- On a pricing card, the button reads Enrol instead of "Buy Now" (some businesses rename it). Once a pack has finished it reads Pack ended instead. Where a pack is priced per class (and the price differs between locations), the card headlines a "From £… per class" figure rather than a single total, with a "per class · price varies by location" note underneath — so the price you see is the true per-class rate, not a misleading lump sum.
- On the calendar itself, if you're signed in but don't yet have the pack, clicking a session shows an Enrol button (or Book for a camp) that opens the same window.
Any of these opens the same step-by-step booking window. Its heading reads Book — [pack name], and once the class you're booking is known it adds the class name after a dash, for example Book — Autumn Season - Mini Kickers.
Step 1: Who Is It For?
If the business books on behalf of someone — a child, a pet, a student — you'll first be asked "Who is this for?"
- Pick an existing profile, or
- Tap Add [child / pet / …] to create one. If you don't have any yet, you'll be asked to add one before continuing.
Only the sessions that profile is eligible for (for example, the right age group) are shown in the next step. If the profile you pick can't join any of them, you'll see a short note explaining why — such as the age range the sessions are for — so you can choose someone else or a different service.
If the business doesn't use profiles, this step is skipped and you go straight to choosing your sessions.
Step 2: Choose Your Sessions or Dates
Next you'll see the available options:
- For a season of weekly classes, pick the day and time series you want — each shows its location and, where relevant, an age band.
- For a camp or dated block, pick the dated block — it shows the date range and how many sessions it includes.
If there's only one option, it's selected for you automatically.
If the sessions run at more than one location, an All locations dropdown lets you narrow the list to a single location.
Choosing between packs
Sometimes the same sessions can be booked in more than one way — for example a full season versus an ongoing "rolling" pack. When that's the case, a Choose your pack heading appears above the session list with a card for each option (each shows the pack's name). Pick the one you want — the price further down updates to match your choice.
Booking a single session or the whole block
Some packs let you book just the one session or day you clicked rather than the whole run. When yours does, the choice appears as two cards, each showing the location:
- This day — books only the occurrence you picked, shown with its date and marked "1 session"
- the whole pack — the second card is named after the pack and books every session in it, shown with the number of sessions and the date range
This defaults to This day — the one you clicked. Switch to the whole-pack card to book the entire block.
Step 3: Check the Price and Book
Once you've chosen, the price appears:
- It shows how many sessions you're booking (e.g. "8 sessions", or "5 of 8 sessions left" if you're joining partway through).
- If you're joining partway through, the price is pro-rated — you only pay for the remaining sessions, and a line underneath reads "Pro-rated for joining now · £X per session" (or "Pro-rated from your start date" if you picked one).
- The next session date is shown where available.
For a season of weekly classes with more than one session still to come, a Start from dropdown lets you choose when to begin. Leave it on The next session, or pick a later date — the price updates so you only pay for the sessions from your chosen start date onwards.
When you're joining partway through, the secure checkout lists the class at the per-session price with a quantity — for example "Autumn Season × 5" — so you can see exactly what you're paying for. Booking a whole run shows a single line at the full pack price.
Review it, then tap the Book button (which shows the total). You'll be taken to a secure checkout to pay. Once payment goes through, every session in the pack is booked for you.
Changed your mind at the payment step? If you close or cancel the secure checkout without paying, no place is held for you — the spots are released so you (or anyone else) can book them, and you can start again whenever you like.
Seasons Sold as a Subscription
Some businesses sell a season as an ongoing subscription instead of a single payment. You'll know because the price line shows a repeating amount (for example "£30/month") next to a count like "12 sessions this season", with a note underneath: "A subscription, starting today — you're enrolled in all 12 remaining sessions of the season and billed until you cancel." The button reads Subscribe — £30/month rather than Book.
Booking works exactly the same way: you're placed into every remaining session of the season straight away. The difference is how you pay and how you leave — you're billed each period while you stay enrolled, and you end the enrolment by cancelling the subscription from Purchased Services → Subscription tab, not by cancelling the pack. See Managing Your Bookings.
If the price can't be confirmed you'll see "We couldn't confirm this subscription's price just now — please close and try again" and the button stays unavailable — nothing is charged.
If Something Goes Wrong
Connection problems are explained in plain words, and the message tells you what's safe to do next:
- Working out the price fails — "We couldn't reach the server to price this — please try again."
- The connection drops while starting checkout — "We couldn't confirm that went through. Trying again is safe — the same request resumes, it can't happen twice." Tapping Book again picks up the same attempt rather than starting a second one, so you can't end up booked or billed twice. (For other checkout problems you'll simply see "Could not start checkout. Please try again.")
- Joining the waitlist fails — "We couldn't reach the server to join the waitlist — please try again."
- A previous attempt is still running — "Your previous attempt is still being processed — give it a moment, then try again."
In every case the button becomes available again so you can simply try once more.
If Some Sessions Are Full
Session packs have limited places. Two things can happen:
- If a session you wanted is already full, you may see a notice that "These sessions are now full." You'll be offered the waitlist — we'll offer you the next place that frees up.
- Depending on how the business has set things up, you might be booked into the sessions that do have space, with any full session added to the waitlist.
Sessions That Aren't on Sale Yet
Weekly classes often keep appearing on the calendar beyond the dates a pack actually covers. A session that falls outside every pack currently on sale can't be booked — its button reads "Not on sale", and in the compact time list the same wording appears when you hover or tap the greyed-out time. This is true whether or not you're signed in.
When you see this, wait for the business to open the next season, or pick a session that falls inside the dates currently on sale.
Tips
- Joining late is fine — for a weekly season, you only pay for the sessions that are still to come.
- Check the age band — for kids' sessions, only the series your child's age fits are shown.
- Prefer one at a time? On the booking page you can ignore the pack bar and book individual sessions from the calendar instead.
- Already enrolled? Each session you're booked into shows as Booked on the calendar, so you can't book the same one twice.
- Your bookings for the pack appear in Managing Your Bookings like any other.
