Fun & different birthday party ideas for children


EDMum

Recommended Posts

Hello!


If anyone is looking for party ideas or things to do with a group of children, my child (aged 10) had a great time when 'WordPlay' came to our house for a private radio party. All the kids that came wrote radio plays, then had to record it in a really cool radio area (in our living room), with all their sound effects! Myself and my husband had the pleasure of listening live all from the next room's radio.


Zoe & Leon who run these workshops are so good with kids, and all the children really enjoyed the whole thing. They even sent me a lovely email afterwards with attachments of all the plays.


I would definitely be using them again and would recommend this to any parent in East Dulwich looking for exciting birthday party ideas for their children. Here is their email address if you fancy giving it a go:

Thanks EDMum for such a lovely recommendation! We had a lot of fun at the party, and hope the kids did too!


We are also running a children's workshop during Easter Holidays at Village Books.


For anyone who might be interested, on Sunday 10th April, we will be hosting two radio drama making workshops for children aged 8-13 to script their own radio plays in groups, inspired by a range of 'challenge items'. They then broadcast live on air in our pop-up studio which will be set up in Village Books. After scripting the short radio drama, each team will experiment with Foley sounds, learning how to turn everyday objects into radio 4 worthy dramas!


All audio masterpieces are live which friends and parents can tune into either in the store or from the comfort of their own homes! We also record the lot to be listened to over and over again on our website after the event:

There will be two radio workshops on Sunday 10th April:


Either

10am - 12pm


Or

2pm - 4pm


Light refreshments will be included in each workshop!


Tickets cost ?12.50 per child - pop in to the bookstore before 10th April to reserve your spot & grab your ticket.


If you would like any more information, please feel free to email us on [email protected] or email Village Books directly on [email protected] to reserve your ticket and pay in store.


We look forward to seeing (and hearing) you all there!


All the best,


Leon & Zoe

    • There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...
    • So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
    • I thought I noticed the shop being redecorated the other day when I passed. Also the old Romeo Jones had some works going on, I think 
    • Leon came to sort out a lighting issue for us last week.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave clear, detailed advice about how to avoid in future.  Would highly recommend him.
