I am trying to come up with ideas for a 5 year old boys party for 25+ kids. Any ideas gratefully received.

My daughter recently went to a swimming party at Peckham Pulse - they did an hour of softplay, followed by an hour in the hydrotherapy pool. She absolutely loved it, although it does require parents (or a certain amount of adults) to be there as well. Lots of toys; floats etc were supplied as well as a private changing room!

mini Olympics ( including dress as a country) on Peckham Rye park, We did this for my sons birthday a few years back, few races, egg n spoon, fancy dress relay and sack race, gave out plastic medals and Whistle as prizes. We had a couple of pop up gazebos where the competitors stopped for lunch ( packed mini sports lunches in paper bags) we also hired a ballon modeller( would suggest trying this yourself or asking around as i recall they charged a stupid amount of money to faff about with some ballons) Swords were very popular. then there was generall running around crazziness till pick up time.

What was nice was that parents stayed and joined in to, but that may of had soemthing to do with the wine and beer?!

25 Kids!!! thats alot of 5 year olds GOOD LUCK

Harris girls on homestall road do parties. You get a big hall with bouncy castle and lots of bats and alls etc and a classroom for tea. Up to 30 children

JAGS sports club hire out their hall with bouncy castle and games and then separate room with table and chairs for birthday tea. All you have to do is bring the food and drink. Worked brilliantly for my 5 year old's birthday (done jointly with a school friend) - no stress and you don't have to worry about clearing up afterwards.
