"We have used this company twice now-…"

We have used this company twice now- for a harry potter party for my son's 8th birthday and a pokemon party for my younger son's 6th party. The communication prior to and after receiving the box was very good. The plan was good. I would say it is obviously more work than just hiring a venue with entertainment (e.g. innoflate or smthg) however it is also worth it in terms of doing something different and really engaging for the kids. The harry potter one especially was really memorable for the kids with a smoking cauldron and magic candles. Overall I would highly recommend this for a great experience but you will need a bit of time to read through all the games/ challenges and practically definitely easier to have at least 2 adults organising the party.

"Absolutely disgusting party package"

Absolutely disgusting party package. The costumes were dirty, smelly, and completely unsuitable for use. To make matters worse, the package was delivered close to the party, leaving us scrambling to find alternatives.

The vendor refused to acknowledge the poor quality of the items and essentially tried to force us into using them. The props were filthy, including bottles that were in a disgusting state, and the overall quality was far below any reasonable standard. Whilst we accept this is a hire and not a purchase, we still believe all items should at least be sanitary and useable.

To add insult to injury, the vendor refused to take the box back, and we had to pay for the return out of our own pockets. Although a refund was eventually issued, it was only offered as a “goodwill gesture,” which felt inadequate given the condition of the items and the stress caused.

This experience was a complete nightmare and ruined the party planning process. I would not recommend this vendor to anyone.

"We had the Harry Potter box for my…"

We had the Harry Potter box for my daughter's 9th birthday and it was absolutely brilliant the kids had a blast and all the games and props were brilliant. It was structured like a Hogwarts day and included all the costumes and decorations. Great value for money. Clear professional communication. Great experience

"Lego party for four-year-old"

I would highly recommend Packaway Parties. We had the Lego one for our son's 4th birthday. It was a similar price to just hiring the Lego on its own (from another site) but all the decorations, ramp for Lego car racing, prizes and game ideas made it well worth getting this one instead. We held the party in our house. We were worried about space but it was absolutely fine for this age group. I would say we didn't use that many of the game ideas and some were pitched a bit older anyway but it really didn't matter. The children just loved doing their own thing and being creative - using the ramp for testing their cars, wearing the builder vests and masks and coming and going to the 'Lego zone' as they pleased. Our son was there most of the time. Liz was really helpful through email in the run up, and then the instructions that come with the party stuff contained everything you need, and more! We'd definitely recommend and would use again.

"Harry Potter party package"

We have hired the Harry Potter party package with Honeydukes sweets shop included and it was great. The communication with Liz was very good, step by step instructions extremely clear and delivery and collection timings impeccable. There were plenty of decorations to really make the space look magical and the children loved it. I have many more budding wizards and witches leaving the party than I had coming in :-). The games were really thought through and kept the children's interest all the way through, which, as anyone will confirm, is a miracle (or could it be magic? :-)) Definitely recommend!

"Packaway Parties are fantastic "

Great communication. Easy to understand. Good value for money. So many fantastic decorations. Well thought through games with good props. Great dress up. Loved it all. Would highly recommend.

"Great Harry Potter party…"

This is a fantastic option for a kids birthday party. I hosted a Harry Potter party for 10 x 8 year olds and we all had a great time. The decorations look great, the itinerary and guidance for the party plan were so handy. The organisation and communication from Liz was excellent. I have been recommending this to everyone who will listen!

"Absolutely brilliant idea for a Harry…"

Absolutely brilliant idea for a Harry Potter themed party. The pack was cleverly designed and really only needed unpacking, decorating and starting. The games were a lot of fun and everyone (including the adults) enjoyed them!

Highly recommended!

"Better than soft play!!!"

My daughter had a fantastic Harry Potter party! I’m so glad I found Packaway parties. Liz was very helpful and took away any anxiety I had over timings because her communication is 10/10.
All the games were easy to follow. The props are excellent and the children and grown ups really did get into the magical world we created!
Hopefully my daughter and her friends will have happy memories of “the best party ever” for the rest of their lives!
I highly recommend Packaway Parties. We had an absolute ball.

"Perfect party planning options "

Fantastic service and amazing selection available from Packaway Parties. They made the stress of decorating for my son's dinosaur theme party disappear as I was able to order the entire kit I needed at genuinely affordable and reasonable prices. Plus amazing service throughout by Liz who responded so promptly each time and made sure it was all hassle free and efficient. I cannot recommend them enough. Great customer care and lovely range to choose from.
