Children look forward to their parties so much, so make it the most exciting and memorable they've ever had!
Out in the woods at Folkington, or in your garden, there are so many inspirational ideas for something amazing. Take a look at the themes below, or suggest your own.
18.3.21 Under current restrictions, it is not possible to run party groups. As soon as restrictions are lifted, which currently looks like 17th May, we can resume, but with suitable precautions.
One and a half hour parties (ideal for 2-4 year olds) are £130, two hour parties are £150 and three hour parties £180 for up to 12 children, with a minimum of two adult helpers. Folkington is on the A27 just outside Eastbourne.
For sites outside Eastbourne borough there may be a travel charge added.
Parties can be just for grown-ups too..... Get some friends together for some forest bathing, feast by the fire, maybe learn to make something woody or do a little foraging. There are no age restrictions - everything is tailored to your group.
Call or email Sarah to arrange your bespoke party or gathering!

"Thank you so much for today. Everyone really enjoyed it. You had gauged it just right for ages 6 to 70".
"I just wanted to say thanks again for a lovely party last Sunday. It was just so perfect in the cool shade of the wood on a hot day, and all the kids enjoyed themselves immensely. I have had lots of nice comments back from the parents, who were all really impressed with the games and activities. Thanks for your creativity, jollity and wonderful organisation." "I wanted to say thank you so much for today. All the parents have messaged to say they loved the party, and so did their kids. So good to get out there whatever the weather for an adventure. I can't wait for one of my kids to ask for a woodland party again!"
"Thanks for creating a fantastic birthday party. Even her most discerning guests were swept away with it all by the end! They had a brilliant time." |
- Parties can be held at your home within 10 miles of Eastbourne or at private woods at Folkington, near Polegate, just off the A27.
- There is shelter in case of rain, and we can arrange a wet weather back-up date in case of really bad weather, at not cost to you.
- Each party is bespoke and you'll get a detailed proposal with what to expect and what to bring.
- We can include a bit of cooking on the fire, such as popcorn, sausages or marshmallows. You can bring a cake, and extra snacks.
- It's usually best not to hold the party over a mealtime - you don't want to pay for supervision of eating! Ideal times are 10.30am-12.30pm or 2.30-4.30pm.
- Coronavirus impact - at the time of writing, government advice suggests that outdoor meetings of up to 30 people will be possible from 17th May.
