Hi all.looking for some inspiration for a tested venue for my daughters birthday.really she loves being outside but I think it's too much of a gamble in the depths of winter-so would like somewhere where they can have a little run around,but where grown up visitors that don't have kids aren't overwhelmed with excited toddler noise? Would be very grateful to hear what others have done for parties at this time of year. Many thanks in advance. Xx
Thanks Fuschia-will check it out. Have been to a few function rooms today-it all gets a bit pricey (we are contemPlating postponing till next year as it will be 18 years of parties once we get going! Just feel a bit mean about it.was sad to learn the mag is closing though-they are looking for someone to buy and will shut then. They are open in the interim so if you want one last visit I would go soon:(

Also the Albrighton Community Centre (other side of the road from Sainsburys on Dog Kennel Hill). Much newer and a big upstairs room with a kitchen and large outdoor playspace next to it - big enough for scooters, bikes, trikes etc and for kids to have a run around.


They have (or used to have) a playgroup there on Saturday mornings, so they might still have ball pits etc you can borrow..

Albrighton community centre is reasonably priced and if you get a particular room there is a free bouncy castle.. Alternatively Peckham soft play is always an option as the kids are playing, noisy but effective.. For ?45 you get 45 mins soft play and then 45 mins upstairs for cake etc.. The second 45 mins did feel a little rushed but for our one year old it was the perfect amount of time x
Wildlife Garden Centre on Marsden Road - I used it as a venue for my little boy's third birthday party in February and it was great. Children can run around the gardens and adults can hang out in the information centre building where you can have party food, games, etc as well. You can only have parties there on Sunday's and don't have exclusive use of the gardens but it is fab.

Farms and 2 years arent ideal mix from personal experience - getting them to thoroughly wash hands at every animal contact is a pain and bound to fail sometimes.


Garden Wildlife garden centre worked a treat for us. Peckham softplay - I felt the need to clean it before our party as it was grubby back then. And at two they wont get that much from it.

East Dulwich Community Centre on Darrell Road, and Albrighton I'm sure, have been super flexible and reaosnalby priced.


Have a great party for them.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
