Organising children’s birthday parties is always a capital letter item on every parent ‘to do’ list, underpinned by the desire to make it a happy occasion and a lasting memory. Nowadays, children can be very specific about how they want to share their birthday celebrations with family and friends and meeting their expectations can be harrowing time to say the least, especially when both parents or carers are working fulltime. We are very fortunate that here in Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes there is wide choice of cost effective options which will meet the family budget and be a birthday party to remember. The secret to successful birthday party is to make a list: a list of children to be invited; a list of things which will delight the birthday child and be special for them: a list of what will suit the family budget and above all a list of things you would like to do to make the birthday unique for your little one. Holding a party at home is great and works well for many families but if you decide that a party venue who will provide everything and do the clearing up afterwards, is the best option, we have listed some of the venues near you who can provide the perfect party. Most options mean that you will have to provide the birthday cake, but we know that this is a given for most mums and carers. Do let us know about any party venues which have worked well for you, we would love to hear about them! |

Welcome to the magical mysteries of "Stagecoach Parties" where we will take your child on a roller coaster ride through their imagination and land them safely back home with some amazing party memories!

We have themes to suit everyone, including Knights and Princesses, Pirates and Mermaids, Superheroes and Pop Stars. Our Party Hosts arrive in colourful costumes, loaded with balloons, stickers and prizes. During the last 10 minutes of the party, family and friends are invited to watch some of the activities the children have enjoyed. Included in the cost are invitations to send out to your guests. Prizes and stickers are handed out during the party, and each guest will receive a balloon to take home: we can also provide Stagecoach party bags.
