Whether they want to dig up dinosaurs in Outer Mongolia, enjoy a magical fairy tea party, or stage their very own mini-play, our workshops come complete with authentic artefacts and props to make their special day very special indeed. You'll be the talk of the playground for all the right reasons and, with our optional extras including party bags and prizes, you'll find the experience hassle-free.
