Community centres local parents use
Chells Manor Community Centre on Emperor's Gate offers public hire for children's parties in both its main hall and meeting room. You check availability by email or phone.
Great Ashby Community Centre is a medium-sized space with a small kitchen and outdoor area. Handy for families on that side of town.
Most of the other neighbourhoods have a centre too, so ask at yours. Bookings are often handled by a local committee rather than the council. Check if your centre has an outdoor space too. A quick game outside before the show can work wonders on a sunny afternoon.
Soft play versus a show
360 Play at Stevenage Leisure Park has its own party zone, and plenty of local kids have their birthdays there. It's a different kind of party to a magic show, more running around than sitting together. Do check what their package includes before you add anything else on.
Some families do the soft play with friends and then a small show at home with grandparents and cousins. Best of both.
If the guest list is mostly under-sevens, a show in a quiet hall can be a lot calmer for everyone. Or skip the soft play entirely. A good show with games and balloons is a party in its own right, and you'll have everyone together for the cake.
A children's entertainer in Stevenage after school
Weekday after-school parties are popular here, particularly for younger kids. A 4pm start, show straight away, food by 5 and home for bath time.
Entertainers are often easier to book on weekdays, too. Worth thinking about if Saturdays are full.
Have the party bags ready by the door so pick-up is quick. Have a few spare balloons in the car, too, for the inevitable pop on the way out.
Next step
Use the quote form to send your date, hall and numbers. You'll hear which entertainers can make it and what each would cost. We'll also mention anything you should know about each one, such as how long they usually run the party.
If you're not sure on budget yet, our cost guide explains what affects the price. It's short and to the point.
We'll also flag anything useful we know about your venue, like whether the hall has a sound system or a stage. Small details like that help the day run smoothly.
