Let's talk parties

Where to party?

Free options:

• Parks 

• At home or a friends place

• Waterfront

• Waterpark

• Local events - all the fun things/entertainment & snacks are arranged by the events organiser. You just need to BYO your Party Kit, cake & guests :)

TIP: Consider taking some picnic blankets and a small collapsible table as a back up option so you can put your cake and party food on and people can sit down. Prime locations are often hard to secure unless you send someone down super early to hold/set up a table.

Hiring a party venue / service:

• A Hall - look at what your local Council's hire out, some are quite big with toilets and kitchen facilities

• The Pool - some of the local pools have a water play section and facilities to host parties

• Local service - hire someone to come to your home - eg. entertainment, play equipment or messy play set up

• Local party bookings that allow BYO food - business names only, as per 'the list' below:

@ Brisbane Bayside Steam Railway - Kids train-themed party with train rides & remote control race track

(Please note: This is a list of local services/venues only. I have not personally used these services. Please undertake your own research and obtain reviews as you would normally before making a purchase).
