Please help, having an outdoor party - what if it rains?

[samneedschocolate]

For my daughter 8th birthday in April she would like a circus workshop... I have found circus people to come and do this, a bit pricey so cant pay out for hall/marquee, but we live on a close so there is a massive green opposite our house, perfect for the party and really safe as its so quiet.

But, what if it rains? We have a decent size house but because its circus skills I really dont want 25 children juggling/unicycling/diabloing in my front room!!

Do I really have to fork out for a hall just in case?

I would fork out for a hall yes. Some halls can be really cheap, a friend of mine got a community hall for £15 for 2 hours. Just ask around and see what you can get. I wouldn't run the risk of having to cancel the party and lose the money on the circus people. I doubt they would want all their kit soaked and it wouldn't be practical in your house, presuming that you don't live in a high ceilinged mansion!

Really? That cheap? I dont mind paying that, the ones I could find in my area from google were about £50 per half hour! I guess the ones which arent online will be cheaper.

Certainly no high ceilinged mansion here, even if it was I wouldnt want the kids wrecking it!
