Kids Party Ideas from the traditional at-home jelly & ice-cream affair to the more extravagant activity-based party days.

In this section you'll find members who can help you put together the perfect party for kids of all ages - from entertainers and face-painters to companies offering princess pamper parties.

Of course you can always hire a Bouncy Castle for use at home or a local hall, a mobile DJ specialising in your age group or take them all off to a purpose-built party venue such as a Soft Play Area nearby and let the staff there worry about the entertainment and catering (and the clearing up afterwards!)

Probably more taxing than organising a wedding, these days arranging a kids' party can be a very taxing job! Expectations will be running high and there's always the undercurrent of "keeping up with the Jones's" driving innovation and expenditure.

Top of the list needs to be the venue - are you going to host a party at home or are you going to hire a hall? Then there's the ready-made party venues (see UK-PlayBarns for all your nearest venues) offering to take care of everything - for a fee of course!

If you're having a DIY kids party, then whether it's at home or a local hall you're going to need some entertainment - and that's where this page comes in useful with all manner of magicians, face-painters, clowns, punch & judy shows and lots more to choose from. For slightly older children you might want to hire a local DJ specialising in younger audiences, and you'll definitely want to consider a Bouncy Castle!

If this is the first or second birthday of your child, she's not going to remember how it went, but you are - and everybody who attends it will. That's reason enough to make it extra special for your little darling. So you may need to select a fair sized venue, and invite a big list of guests and relatives. See our venues section (click your region name above) for literally dozens of suitable halls for hire near to you.

Food keeps the party going, and if you do not have any experience organizing kids parties, then consider an outside caterer who specialises in party food for youngsters. Ask around for references, because a bad caterer will make your party memorable for the wrong reasons. Most party venues will have a list of good caterers that you can select from. These guys are usually good, because they have a lot of experience in supplying food to kids parties.
