what happens?
Birthday parties begin with the guest of honour lighting the campfire, before the children get to explore and play in the woods. They then get set the ‘waterproof challenge’ of building their own den, and then it’s time for hot dogs, marshmallows and cake!
Parents supply the sausages, bread rolls, birthday cake, napkins and any condiments required.
We supply hot chocolate, marshmallows and real coffee and tea for the adults.
Attendees must be wearing suitable clothing for being in the woods. If you’re celebrating a winter birthday this means lots of layers, waterproofs, wellies and gloves in the winter. If they’re summer born, long trousers and sturdy shoes will do the job.
What do Others Say About our Parties?
“ Thanks very much for a really fantastic party last Saturday
Chris and Tom kept 18 very active 6 year olds entertained for 2½ hours without drawing breath! The feedback from children and parents alike was that everyone had a brilliant time and would definitely want to come back for more!
“ I just wanted to reach out as we had a birthday party with you this morning, for my son and it was absolutely fantastic!
Euan was amazing, a fantastic host. The children had such a good time! I personally have been buzzing all afternoon! A smile beaming from ear to ear with my son telling me he has had “the best birthday ever!”
Lots of parents stayed and thoroughly enjoyed themselves too. So thank you so much for making this available.
I will certainly be begging for a summer holiday session and I know you’ll have lots more party enquiries from other parents.
THANK YOU!
“ Seeing the children having fun, playing and working together outside was brilliant
Chris and his volunteers were great with the kids. Ewan asked on the way home if he could have his 7th birthday there too. See you next year.
“ Ok so we didn’t quite get the princess out of the party girl but she was a princess with attitude on her ‘Brave’ themed birthday party
She had an amazing party and all the kids enjoyed being outdoors. Everybody commented on what a great party it was and it truly was a very different experience. Chris pitched this just right to get all the children involved and having a great time. The real bonus was hot drinks for the adults and the compost toilet was an experience too!
“ I have never felt so relaxed during a kids party, the only problem is what we do to up-stage this next year!
I fully intend to book Katy into Saturday club and I look forward to what Exeter Forest School has to offer in the future!
