Everything you need to know about creating the most magical, stress free celebration for you and your child

Booking & Dates

How far in advance can we book?
We take bookings up to 6 months in advance. If your child's birthday is coming up, get in touch sooner rather than later to help us secure your preferred date and time.
How do we book a party?
Simply drop us an email or WhatsApp with the following details:
  • Your area and location (home or venue)
  • Your child's age and preferred dates
  • Number of children
  • Party theme (if you have one in mind)
We'll get back to you with availability and pricing.
Where can you host parties?
We host parties at your home or at a hired venue of your choice. We'll work with you to make sure the space works perfectly for your craft activities.

Themes & Ages

What themes do you offer?
We've created brilliant parties around popular themes including Jellycat, Stitch, Fairies, Harry Potter, Pokemon, and Lionesses. But here's the fun bit: if your child has a completely different obsession, just let us know and we'll design bespoke crafts around it. We love customising!
What age groups do you cater for?
Our sweet spot is ages 4 to 12. We also offer tween party options for older children, so just ask about craft ideas that will appeal to them.
Do you do boys' parties?
Absolutely! We've found that combining crafting with a bouncy castle or other energy-burning activity works brilliantly for boys' parties. We'll chat through the best mix to keep everyone entertained.

Guest Numbers

What's the minimum number of children?
Our pricing starts from 12 children. We're happy to host more intimate gatherings, but the pricing remains the same.
What's the maximum number of children?
There's no upper limit on guest numbers. We've hosted parties with up to 120 children, so no guest list is too big! Just let us know your numbers and we'll make sure we have enough team, materials and energy!

Events & Celebrations

Do you do events bigger than parties?
Absolutely! Beyond birthday parties, we offer event entertainment for weddings, corporate events, and big celebrations. Whatever the occasion, if you're looking for creative, engaging craft activities to entertain guests, we can help. Get in touch to discuss what you're planning.

What to Expect

Will the children get messy?
Some of our activities involve fabric paints, slime, and other messy materials, so yes, mess is part of the fun! We provide aprons, but please dress children for mess. Older clothes or playdate clothes are ideal. Just a heads up so you're not worried about favourite outfits!
What's our mission for your party?
Our mission is simple: to make the party as stress-free and FUN for you. We handle all the creativity and organisation so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy celebrating your child alongside their friends. That's what it's all about.

Payment & Policy

How do we pay?
We accept:
  • Bank transfer (BACS)
  • Cash on the day
We'll send you an invoice after the party.
What if plans change?
Life happens! If plans change, please let us know as soon as you do. We're human and know things can sometimes not go to plan. We can try to reschedule, but please give us at least 2 weeks' notice so we can sort everything out.
