11 year old birthday

Looking for some ideas for what to do with 5, 11 year olds. My daughter would like a sleepover, which isn't practical as we live in such a small house.
Usually we do things with 2 or 3 friends so that I can cart them to the cinema or similar.
She only started the school in September so I'm keen for her to build friendship groups and not have to pick a couple out.
Thinking 5 isn't enough for a 'party' at home. What could I do for them?
They are good kids, all interested in horses, still very much kids but also lean into teenage-y things too.
Don't want to spend a fortune (so nothing involving actual horses!) - would rather they came round, but what will they do? Am I overthinking it?
All and any ideas welcome :)

How about a pamper party at home? Nails, hair, light hearted makeup etc. Maybe even some mocktail making and cupcake decorating. DD had something similar at a salon at that age and the girls all really enjoyed it
