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

various things i have seen suggested on here in the past:

east dulwich community centre (2 halls plus playground at back)

wildlife centre (marsden rd?)

crystal palace park has a pirate ship or something like that (read about it on this forum!)

the herne pub - can the children's area be hired out?

try church halls

softplay

children's cinema (read that somewhere on this forum too)

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!

Laura said she was looking for an alternative to bouncy castles...

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

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!

A surprisingly attractive party space with a lovely garden too for running around & letting off steam (am thinking more the 4 year olds than the 13 year olds).

Yes I agree here, Pavilion Cafe is a very good Party Places to have this. 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.

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
