Birthday Party FAQs
“We had a great day with Footprints on the Moon for my 7 year old’s birthday party! Bonfire, marshmallows, raft building and plodging in the river with enthusiastic hosts. Fantastic!”
What's your maximum numbers for birthday parties?
We can cater for parties of a minimum of 20 children. Additional children (up to 5) are charged at £10 per head. Children over 5 years old attend without their parents, but of course the birthday boy/girl’s parents are welcome to stay and participate. Our parties are drop-off only as camp has limited space and we want the party invitees to have lots of room to explore and enjoy the activities!
Do you supply food?
We sure do - you can choose from quesadilla pizzas or sausages. There's also the chance for s’mores round the campfire. You’re welcome to bring a birthday cake (of course!) and non-alcoholic drinks. All children will need to bring a bottle of water for the duration of the party.
Can you cater for dietary requirements and allergies?
Absolutely! This information can be provided at the time of booking.
Do you offer invitations and decorations?
Yes, we’ll send a personalised digital invitation with your party confirmation. This contains all the information your guests will need and takes the pressure of you. We always decorate our camp with beautiful handmade bunting, little touches around the fire circle, and have a special birthday message for the party host. You can bring your own decorations and banners, but we ask for them to be eco-friendly please. All belongings are to be taken away at the end of your party. Please note: we don't allow balloons or glitter as they can cause harm to wildlife.
“We had our son’s 6th birthday party at Plessey Woods a few weekends ago and we couldn’t have asked for more from the Footprints on the Moon team; they were absolutely wonderful from start to finish! My son’s words at bedtime that night spoke volumes: “that was the best party EVER!” Thanks so much - totally recommend.”
What do we do if the weather is bad?
Rain or shine, our parties will always go ahead! Our tarp canopies keep us dry around the campfire when we’re eating. For very adverse conditions like storms, we’ll assess on the morning and contact you as soon as possible.
Where is the meeting point at Plessey Woods Country Park?
From the car park you head to the Visitor’s Centre, then take a left on the public footpath. The entrance to our camp is clearly signposted. Outside camp is our meeting point until everyone arrives.
Do parents pay for car parking?
Car parking charges are enforced by Northumberland County Council at Plessey Woods. Please be advised, car park wardens do monitor this daily.
What do we need to bring with us?
Children will need to bring waterproofs to keep them dry (if needed). All children will need to bring a bottle of water for the duration of the party.
Do you offer bespoke birthday parties?
We love unique, bespoke parties! Themes such as Robin Hood, Forest Fairies or even (children's favourite) a Julia Donaldson book can be tailored at your request. Please get in touch for more information.
Do we pay a deposit?
A non-refundable deposit of £20, which will be deducted off your final bill.
