Possibly because I'm a little stressed with other things at the moment but I seem to have come up blank for ideas for a boy's 4th birthday party. Don't want JAGs or Peckham Soft Play (there have been plenty there already this birthday season). Would like something a little different and not too expensive. Prefer not to have it at home (fine if weather is good, gets a little hot and sweaty indoors if it rains). Any suggestions?

I recently booked the hut/hall thing at the back of The Herne for my daughter's third birthday - It was ?50 to hire, we were allowed to bring our own food and obv grown ups can purchase alcohol from the bar. We hired a kids entertainer who was fab, laid out the food, had dance competitions, pass the parcel in the inside bit then the kids ran wild in play area etc and the parents could relax with their drinks...


It was brilliant, but please check that the kitchen bit of the hall is NOT being used to serve food on the day as ours was initially (which we were not informed of) but the manager closed it down after complaints from us and then seeing himself that it was causing smell/smoke, not least being a huge health and safety hazard with a load of three year olds tearing around!

We had a birthday party for our son when he was 3 years old at the Wildlife Gardens - which was a great venue. You can do a scanvanger hunt in the gardens which is always good fun and arrange the visitors centre how you like for the food/refreshments and indoor activities.

we had our son's 4th at the pirate room at Crystal Palace sports centre. Like a big soft play, with pirate theme, a pirate boat to have birthday tea in and fairly cheap. Helpers and invitations included. It was very successful, especially for lots of boys!

Devonshire road nature reserve se23 is great for parties, my dd had her 6th birthday there. It is a resonable ?50 to hire bring your own food i also got a childrens entertainer, great outdoor space to run around in only worry is there are ponds so lots of adult supervison is advised

      Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
