It’s party time!

We love a good party at Festival Place – and we're great at hosting them, too!

Whether you’re planning a birthday, hen do, family reunion or work get together, here’s your invitation to have a good time!

Furry fun

The bear essentials are all covered at Build-A-Bear, where a great range of party packages offer something for every occasion and budget. Parties can be hosted before, during or after store hours, and options include themed and make-your-own parties. Every party package includes a furry friend for each guest, a party leader for five guests or more, a Special Heart Ceremony, party games and fun activities, bear ear paper party hats, a prop photo op, and a special keepsake for the Birthday Guest of Honour. Parties start at £17 per guest.

Have a Lush time

A special occasion calls for extra sparkle, fizz and bubbles, right? Book a Lush party and enjoy a celebration that’s filled to the brim with all this and more! Make a list of your besties, choose from two party packages (the pampering Treat Yourself, or the playful Fun and Games), then head to the FP store to chat through all the ways you can customise your party to fit your vibe. Choose from a range of exciting product making experiences, indulgent treatments and/or entertaining games. To top it all off, select some exclusive goodies to send your guests home with (along with an extra treat for you, of course!). Lush parties cost from £25 per head and are suitable for all ages from 5 years up.

Pizza the action

When it comes to a Pizza Express party, the fun can’t be topped! With pizza making parties for both children and adults, anyone can learn to flare dough like a pro. Kids can get messy and lap up the fun with bottomless squash and gelato all round, and adults can get a pizza the action with either a Parent Party Top Up that lets them enjoy pizza and a hot drink while the kids play, or book a party of their own with pizza making and Prosecco. Prices start at £14.95 per head.

Flipping good fun

Birthdays come round just once a year, so make sure it’s a flipping good one at Flip Out! There's a range of party packages suitable for all ages, groups and sizes, with kids enjoying all the epic indoor play centre has to offer, from trampolines to Laser Quest. Then it’s off to celebrate in an exclusive party room with expert party planners looking after all the details. Prices start at £16 per head.

Good sport

Dive into Basingstoke Sports Centre and find a whole host of party fun, with various options available for you to celebrate in style. Enjoy a Jungle Adventure Soft Play Party, complete with bouncy castle, or make a splash with a Pool Party in either the teaching or main pool.
