Last year we had my sons party at the Marsden Road Wildlife Centre. I think that they only do them on a Sunday afternoon, but for about ?60 you can hire the whole building to play games in and have tea. We did a treasure hunt around the garden (that bit is open to the public) and looked at frogs and things in the pond. It's really charming and the staff are around to tell the kids all about it.

We've used St. Thomas More hall for a party, but it's a very big and vacuous space if you don't have a lot of people. Also had a party upstairs at The Mag which worked very well as you can bring your own food and the owner, Steve, is very helpful and of course, the bar is just downstairs. We had a few entertainers as well in both places.


We've been to ones at Peckham and Beckenham softplay, Gambados and they were perfectly fine, if only just a little manic because you have other children around.


What a great idea to have it at the Marsden Road Wildlife Centre - would be perfect for a summer or warmish weather birthday.

Thanks very much


Have booked the Mag. Is a March birthday and can't risk outdoors and soft play places don't serve drinks :)


Love the Marsden Rd idea, will definitely book for my other son's birthday in September


Hmm, now for an entertainer....

The birthday boy/girl can choose from one of our fantastic themed parties, create their own theme, a drama based party or a clown to do balloons and face paints.


This unique Drama Xl party will be one to remember as the children end the with a performance created by themselves.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
