A variety of catering packages are available through our onsite catering partner, and our team can provide exciting and adventurous outdoor activities to make your event even more spectacular. 

Children's birthday parties

Choose from our list of adventurous activities, try something new, have fun and learn new skills along the way!

Parties last for one and a half hours and include one or two activities, depending on your activity preference. The majority of our activities are aimed at age 8 and over, however a small number of land-based activities are suitable for a younger audience of 5 years plus. 

Room hire is available at either the Discovery Den or at our Outdoor Classroom at an additional cost, with prices starting from £17 per hour. Catering can be provided or you are welcome to bring your own.

All activities take place outdoors so please ensure your guests are suitably dressed. At least one adult is required to stay with party guests throughout the party session and will remain entirely responsible for the guests.
