Help!
My little boy is 5 next month and I need to organise a party for about 30 children (mainly boys) Alot of places and activities have a 20 max limit. I live in Newcastle and am stuck!

Geekay, have you tried church halls in your area and enlisting some adult help? Budget stretch to entertainer?

Do sports centre do parties for larger groups?

30, 5 year old boys is quite a scarey thought!!

A friend had their party in Chicago Rock Cafe, do you have one near you, or something similar? They open it in the day for kids party, disco, games and food. Great fun.

Will try and think of more ideas later ....

Thirty children is a lot for a children's party at any age! Have you considered why many party places HAVE a limit of 20 children?! Is it possible to cut the guestlist down (like by half?!) Then you will not only have more options, you will save yourself money and stress!

RobinW, I couldn't have put it better! Definitely second your suggestions - and all the others.

Is this party made up of your son's classmates, GeeKay? If so, is there someone at the school - another parent, classroom assistant, dinner lady etc who you know well enough to ask for help? Knowing all the children well, they will have a head start when it comes to controlling them.
