4yo's party in Bristol - any recommendations?

Hello everyone, I was hoping for some help with a party venue in Bristol somewhere.

This is for 2 x 4yo birthday boys and I don't know how many guests - think we will look at all sorts of parties and then decide how many guests to invite - either 10 / 20 / 30 kids aged 3 / 4 depeding on venue/costs etc.

Budget is larger than usual as it is a joint party - a boy in DS's class has his birthday the day after DS so that's great!

We both have younger kids so we would prefer to just hire somewhere/go somewhere where most of the stuff is done for us - I can stretch to finding a cake and doing party bags, but I would like somewhere where it is all done by the place and I don't have to organise lots of different people etc.

I would be extremely grateful for any help - both kids have only had family parties up to now.

The creche at Cribbs Causeway used to do parties and food was brought in from Burger King next door.

Or hire a village hall and get an entertainer - we have used magic house and they are great and do all the work.

Most leisure centres do soft play plus a room and they will provide food, or maybe a swimming party where you hire the small pool?

Or the zoo / Noah's Ark are popular choices

Good luck

Playspace was fantastic recently!
Went to a 6 YO party there with my dd and the food was good, the staff enthusiastic. Think quite expensive tho

Also, she LOVED the party recently at the Bristol Hawkes Gym. Lots of leaping into foam pits and trampolines. The party room was not too bad either.
I did a party at Puxton Park for DD. Good as indoor and outdoor but that means there is a lack of 'cohesion' for the guests. It was fab though, especially for a summer baby.
