I second Colour Makes People Happy, Simon is brilliant with the children. What kid doesn't enjoy throwing paint at a moving object! We had our sons 5th birthday there and he still talks about it!

The shop looks tiny from the front but its like a tardis when you get inside, Simon is really cool with kids running around. but to be honest they were so into the paint thing that they only moved to eat. Added bonus, each child gets to take home their very own masterpiece. We didn't really do anything apart from cake a serving some pizza!


Food wise, We bought in juice and ordered Pizza from dominos ( on a collection it was buy any size pizza and get the same free)however Simon and his lovely colleague(sorry forgot her name but she was lovely) made the kids hot chocolate and these yummy mini pancakes covered in chocolate sauce...I think I ate most of them before the kids even knew they were there.


Otherwise there is the Dog Kennel Hill Adventure Playground, that was also really good fun, the kids can run wild outside but if the weathers rubbish then you can use the club house(it was raining when we went to the last party there but the kids were still climbing and running wild. They have a little kitchen that you get use of. Its not hosted but if a couple of parents hang around then its a doodle. We didn't even organise any party games. just pizza (can you see my theme... so easy and most kids eat pizza)


Think there is a thread on here some where that mentions parties at jags, they look brill but I think its a bit pricey.


Good Luck


oh check out ebay for ready filled party bags!

Another kids party activity worth considering is the T-Shirt printing and Splash Painting @ http://capturedontherye.com we had a party there for our 6 year old and a bunch of his friends and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots to keep them occupied and Lou who runs it was brilliant. Highly recommended!

I just had a joint party for my 6 year old daughter in the church hall at St Clement with St Peter (off Barry Road). It was great! We hired a bouncy castle from Jumping Jacks and the kids pretty much entertained themselves (with a few party games thrown in). There's a kitchen there so you can prepare or cook food and make the grown ups a cuppa if they're staying and there are plenty of tables and chairs.


Quite a few parents said they didn't know it was available for hire - it's only free on Saturday afternoon for kids parties. Anyway, I'd really recommend it.

We recently had a soft play party at Beckenham spa which I know isn't the right location for you but we had fun! I wanted to share info on party bags. I bought some pre-filled ones from http://www.amyroseparties.co.uk

They are very reasonably priced with good quality toys - no cheap plastic tat in sight!

I topped up the bags with some extra fillers available on the site - focussing on good quality wooden toys. The bags went down a treat!

Good luck with your party.

We just went to a brilliant party at a very small private cinema under the arches in Loughborough Junction. The space was hired for 3 hours. You can play a film of your choice, and there is a bar at the back for adults to sit at. Pizza's were ordered in for food. The kids loved it.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
