Katy2 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I am trying to find a venue for my daughter's 4th birthday party in Dulwich or Herne Hill. Does anyone know of any 'reasonably' priced venue's in the area? I have already tried a couple of places but they're booked and am slowly feeling desperate. Sports venue's are out as my daughter doesn't like bouncy castles (I know she's possibly the only one) Any suggestions would be MOST gratefully accepted Many thanks Laura Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11556-help-kids-party-venues/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunheadmum Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Laura S - you're not alone with a 4 year old who doesn't like bouncey castles. I spent several parties this year holding my 4 year old's hands while she bounced only on the very extreme front section. We had a lovely party at the Herne this year - you get exclusive use of the Barn at the back but the climbing frame thing is a free for all. Kids loved it and parents could calm their nerves with a tipple if desired!

redjam Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 There's a room upstairs at the Mag on Lordship Lane which is a great size for children's parties.

prdarling Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I had my son's 3rd birthday party in the garden room at The Herne and his 4th upstairs at The Mag.

citizenED Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Pavilion Cafe in Dulwich Park do parties. Very good too.. But then if it is at this time of year, why not simply go for a picnic in the park?

nyny26 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 JAG's Sports Club and Harris Girls Academy Eastdulwich do childrens parties, they do bouncey castle parties and football parties I believe and I think the prices are also reasonable too.

tiddles Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 any ideas for a venue for a 13th party - small disco affair, so don't want a huge hall with kids hanging round the edges, but a decent size room and do not want my house trashed!! And it has to be an evening! I was thinking about a function room in a pub but imagine there might be problems with children on licensed premises, even if there was no alchohol in the area where the under ages were. suggestions gratefully received Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11556-help-kids-party-venues/#findComment-402486 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Also, for anyone wanting to do a party for younger kids, St Clement's church hire out their hall for afternoon parties.

Pickle Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 We had a (small) party for our 4 year old this evening at Locale and I can't fault them - 14 of us in total (7 adults, 7 kids) and we were given their separate room to use. Kids were able to run around and play, food came promptly (and really good price for children's meals), and they were happy for us to bring a cake etc.Obviously depends on what you want to do, but for us it was the perfect solution. My son is terrified of bouncy castles! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11556-help-kids-party-venues/#findComment-403085 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once attended a party that's been held there, I love the place and I'm sure everybody does. Planning a kid's party should be as enjoyable as the actual celebration.
