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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
