FAQs

Where do you cover?

We cover the whole of London and quite a lot of the south east. We don’t come to Sussex but do cover Kent. Go figure.

What do you charge?

It varies a bit, but our standard price is £325 for up to 16 kids.

What ages are your parties suitable for?

Roughly, for 5-10 year olds. We’ve done lots of parties for both younger and older kids, and just plan different activities to make them accessible or challenging.

What if it rains?

If you book, we will never force you to go ahead. If the weather is predicted to be bad, we’ll keep an eye on the forecast with you, and make as late a call as possible. We’ll postpone if we can, or cancel if we both agree to, and will refund your deposit.

If heavy rain is forecast, we bring along a big tarp and tie it up, so it keeps most of the rain off.

What should kids wear?

Clothes they don’t mind getting a bit dirty, and suitable footwear. Mozzie spray is unfortunately now necessary in woods in summer. Top hats are obligatory.

What activities do you do?

We normally get through:

• den building (done properly, and tested with water with victims inside it)

• bow and arrow making (real, very good kids’ bows and arrows, with a string and not a nasty elastic)

• firelighting (safe, basic, age-appropriate)

• tug of war

• active games

• marshmallow toasting

• tracking, shooting and skinning a wild boar (if time allows)

How do I book?

Just get in touch with us using the contact form.

How long do parties last?

Usually for 2 hours. We recommend that you invite guests 10 minutes before kick-off, so that you get your money’s worth.

Is food provided?

We (honestly) bring along edible bugs (no charge) for the kids to eat, but other than that, you can give them whatever you like. Little food boxes are popular, as is pizza, ordered to arrive about 40 mins before the party ends.

Do you have mats for them to sit on?

Yes.

When do kids eat?

We normally get the kids to sit for their party food in the last 20ish minutes of a party. They toast marshmallows (in small, safe groups) at the same time, and eat their meal while waiting their turn.

How are you different to other party companies?

We’re small - fewer than 12 instructors - so don’t have any instructors that don’t cut the mustard. Lots of us are teachers during the week, so are used to handling lots of lively children. Just check our reviews on Trustpilot or Google to see what people say about us.

What do you do with my data, phone number etc?

Nothing. We’ll only phone you if you book and we can’t get hold of you.

I have a question that’s not on here.

Please just get in touch.
