Hi, Gebbjane. I would be happy to tailor a party around some simple science experiments, slime/ snot making, baking powder poppers, foaming volcanoes etc. We could easily host it at our shop in ED and throw in a couple of our party favourites, spin painting and green candy floss! DM me for details.

Just following up from my original post asking for ideas for slime party, We found Slime Planet who were absolutely fantastic, the party was yesterday and Chris from Slime Planet came in and ran a great slime workshop. He managed to keep 10 5/6 year olds entertained for an hour, making lots of slime plenty of which they could take home. They made a giant slime at the end which created much excitement. And the best thing Chris takes away all the messy bits at the end so clearing up is pretty pain free.


Would highly recommend them for parties and they also run various Events too.

We had a great slime party at Captured on the Rye on Pellatt Road. Well, it was actually a bath bomb, slime and science party.


We were there for 2 hours and Lou (who has posted one of the messages on this thread) helped ten kids to make colourful bath bombs, fluffy slime and fizz poppers. He also created a really cool painting-type-thing out of milk and coloured ink - see link below:

I'd definitely recommend them.

We have now rolled out our creative science parties to include several interactive activities.

The children are invited to don lab-coats and goggles to help with the In The Lab feel.


The activities are:


1) Make a batch of fizzing, foaming bath bombs. Children work in pairs, choosing colour and fragrance, learning a bit about the science behind the fizzing reaction, then mix and mould their bath bombs into a variety of shapes to take home.


2) Make a batch of slime in pairs again. Colour and type of slime can be chosen to make a pot of slime to take home to each guest.


3) Fizz-powder poppers. Children each get a popper that they load with fizz-powder and water to make loud pops and shoot off the lids. They can repeat until the fizz-powder is all used up. Shrieking levels usually peak during this activity


4) Milk and pigment mesmerising mandala. A neat experiment using intense dyes and milk to make self-generating rainbow patterns. A demonstration which can be repeated at home safely with milk and food dyes.


The last fifteen to twenty minutes is taken up with food if you wish to serve party snacks, cake etc. We can do a cool trick where the birthday child gets to ignite a line of tea-lights for the number of years and then extinguish them with a glass full of carbon dioxide instead of blowing them out. (fizz-powder makes the carbon dioxide)


5) Candy Floss Finale for everyone, including siblings arriving at pick up time.


Kids all take home a party bag containing their creations. Feel free to add party bag items, a slice of cake etc. into the bags.


Message me for more details or to book your party.

Science party at Captured on the Rye, Pellatt Road is amazing!! My Daughter had her 7th birthday party there today and everyone loved it. The children get to wear lab coats and goggles to make slime, bath bombs and fizzy poppers. They even get a party bag with the slime and bath bombs they made to take home. Definitely recommend!!!

The fantastic guys who I used for my sons party in the end Slime Planet are opening a venue in Loughborough Junction - running sessions over half term as well as parties from there if you don?t want them at your house.

    • Many thanks to the woman who looked after our old deaf Miniature Schnauzer who got separated from us in the park this morning. And thank you to the man who alerted us . My husband is very relieved and grateful. If any one knows who these people are please say thank you as he didn't get their names. 
    • why do we think we have the right for the elected local council to be transparent?
    • Granted Shoreditch is still London, but given that the council & organisers main argument for the festival is that it is a local event, for local people (to use your metaphor), there's surprisingly little to back this up. As Blah Blah informatively points out, this is now just a commercial venture with no local connection. Our park is regarded by them as an asset that they've paid to use & abuse. There's never been any details provided of where the attendees are from, but it's still trotted out as a benefit to the local community.  There's never been any details provided of any increase in sales for local businesses, but it's still trotted out as a benefit to the local community.  There's promises of "opportunities" for local people & traders to work at the festival, but, again, no figures to back this up. And lastly, the fee for the whole thing goes 100% to running the Events dept, and the dozens of free events that no-one seems able to identify, and, yes, you guessed it - no details provided for by the council. So again, no tangible benefit for the residents of the area.
