Here are some handy hints & tips on how to pick the right birthday party venue

Children’s birthday parties are where so many amazing memories are made and, as such – particularly when your children are young – it’s understandably important that everything is just right starting, of course!, with the venue. So, here are some handy hints & tips on how to pick the right birthday party venue. 

How to pick the right birthday party venue

Search local: local halls and community centres make fantastic birthday party venues; already equipped with a multitude of facilities such as toilets, kitchenettes and tables & chairs, as well as being well-known by local people, and therefore easy for people to get to. Plus, the more local a hall for hire is to you, the easier it will be to transport any additional supplies to and from the venue.

Read reviews and ask friends & family: reviews are invaluable in showing real people and their very real experiences with venues you’re interested in hiring. Always look for venues that have 4 and 5 star reviews, and customers praising customer service and venue facilities! A venue with great facilities, cared for by a fantastic team of helpful individuals, is always going to provide you – and therefore your children – with the best birthday experience(s).

Hire a venue you’re familiar with: whether you’ve hired a venue before, heard other people’s good experiences about it, or simply passed it multiple times on your way to and from the school run, hiring a venue you’re familiar with in some way will provide a level of reassurance that you know the venue you’re booking, and you therefore know what to expect. 

Look for discounts & offers: children’s birthday parties can be expensive and, especially with the rising cost of living we’re experiencing right now in the UK, saving money wherever you can is something we all are focused on. As such, don’t be afraid to shop around for discounts and offers. Every little saving goes a long way! For example, we’re offering our contacts and followers 10% off hall hire for children’s parties right now and until mid-November.

Know your budget: one last piece of advice we can give you is to have an idea of budget – how much you can and want to spend – before you start searching for a hall for hire. This will help you narrow your search and find something suitable for your ideal children’s party. What’s more, it will make searching through online venue directories such as ours much easier and quicker! 

Planning a birthday party is an exciting journey and should be nothing but fun and joyous for all involved; finding the right birthday party venue is certainly the foundation for a fabulous party your children will remember for years to come.
