Birthday Party @ Festina Lente

Come and join us in the gardens for fun, nature-based birthday parties in the safe surroundings of Festina Lente Gardens.....

Suitable for aged 4+

Outdoor Birthday Parties!

The children can enjoy the outdoor space, exploring and having fun. Depending on the dynamic of the group and their energy levels, we offer a selection of the below activities.

Food: We don’t provide food, but you are welcome to bring along your own and to decorate the chalet to your child’s taste! (Just no balloons please). The party is a 2-hour timeslot, with full use of our wooden chalet for food service. The first hour is the party activity run by our team, and the second hour is supervised by parents only. (We have a microwave, but no cooking facilities). We highly recommend delivery from a local pizza company.

"PARTY WITH NATURE”:

Group activities are all about nature, using materials all foraged outdoors in our Victorian walled garden.

Flower Power Pots & Nature Wands: Decorate a flower pot and make nature wands with funky materials – crafty, blingy, paint, graffiti, or with poetry! Finally, you can explore the garden’s treasure chest for flower bulbs and seeds to sow in your pots, along with your dreams!

Fantastic Bugs and Wonderful Worms: Want to help our planet spin with bug-packed, plant phizzy and worm wiggly friends? Get ready for a wild adventure: worm searches and bug identification. A hands-on session: Your challenge will be to make amazing homes and mini-gardens for your new wild creature friends to live in – and there will be fascinating natural building materials for you to experiment with.

The Secret Garden Scavenger Hunt – Discover nature on a nature spotting expedition - search for hidden natural objects dotted around the garden.!

Animal and plant yoga – let you inner party or plant animal out in the gardens! If you want some mindful moments with Nature – just roll out a party with the plants and bugs on a mat, stretch in the fresh air with our guided wild yoga sequence! Enter a magic carpet ride –get into the groove with the rhythm and twists of Nature!

Seed Bombs: Make a dazzling nature blast – collect your favourite flower seeds, create colourful bombs to shower new colours into nature. You will be able to experiment in our secret seed bomb lab using an Irish rainforest of flower species, rainbows of petals, fizzy seed powders– but watch out for the rain, as they might explode!
