What Our Parents Say
"We had a fab party for my son’s birthday party. Flo and Tallum were great host and happy to help/provide things the kiddies were asking for. The place itself is great for any kiddie that loves the outdoors as it gives them lots of learning through play opportunities. Snacks/drinks were readily available throughout the whole party and sausages, marshmallows and hot chocolate were served by the fire. I will definitely be recommending this place to others and will also be using their services again for parties in the future."
