May 25,2023A brilliant find and so glad I chose to use Packaway parties for my sons birthday. We hired the Lego party and all the children had lots of fun. The organisation was very easy given that Liz had written out comprehensive instructions and everything was clearly labelled. Delivery and collection of the party box was really easy. There was a good range of games, we substituted in our own pass the parcel game for one. Tons of decorations and excellent props to use, it saved me so much time it was well worth it and justified the cost. Excellent communication from Liz too when enquiring. Thank you!

May 18,2023The kids LOVED it! So creatively planned and every little attention to detail was excellent. My son was so excited to decorate and could hardly contain himself. The sweet store was brilliant. They loved the parachute and obstacle course games and the party bags were excellent. Perfect for a fun filled, relaxed, stress free event- very reasonably priced for all the amazing stuff you get and all flawless with delivery, couriers etc- what a wonderful business and I would thoroughly recommend

May 11,2023My daughters party was absolutely fabulous and the children all had so much fun! We couldn't have done it without the party pack. The pack contained way more than I expected and we was very excited to get everything set up. We were lucky enough to hold it in the garden which gave us lots of rooms for the games. My sister is also a massive Harry Potter fan and really enjoyed running all the games, we improvised a little as some of the games took a little longer and we found it easier to just go with the flow. We found the pack extremely helpful as it explained everything so well, and I would say it was definitely worth the money we paid. All of the signs and banners were great and really got the children's imagination going. Everything went smoothly and was easy to do , Liz was extremely helpful and efficient throughout.

May 10,2023My son and his friends loved the Pokemon party. It was very easy to run and the games were simple. It was all packed so well and easy to pack away. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for an easy party to have at home. Glowing reviews from all the kids!

May 10,2023Very glad I found Packaway Parties... saved me loads of time and brainpower with a really comprehensive and fun package. So comprehensive I couldn't fit all the activities in. Liz was very pleasant and great at keeping in touch too. Thanks!

May 09,2023Absolutely amazing! I had so many compliments on the decorations, games and treats from children and parents alike. Communications from the company was incredibly supportive throughout. Would 100% recommend.

May 01,2023I am so glad we used Packaway parties!!! Our daughter requested a Harry Potter party and I had no idea where to start, luckily came across packaway parties and loved the idea!! The decorations were fabulous, games were fun and the costumes provided just finished it all off! We have made new potter fans as so e friends loved it all but hadnt watched or read Harry Potter. I love that the items get reused, as usual would spend so much on decorations only to throw them away, which is so wasteful- I love this whole idea and have already recommended to friends. They made everything so easy and were really helpful and friendly when arranging everything, thank you packaway parties for making my daughters birthday just magical!

Apr 17,2023Our overall experience with packaway parties was excellent. When my daughter announced that she would like a Harry Potter party for her birthday I didn't have a clue how to put it together for her without it costing a bomb and spending hours sourcing games and decorations. Using packaway parties was SO easy and worth every penny. Liz was fantastic at communicating the whole way through and everything was super organised. My daughter and her friends had a wonderful fun afternoon, I would definitely use again.

Apr 16,2023We hired the Harry Potter Packaway Party and my 7yo daughter had a great time. Plenty of games, ideas and easy to follow instructions. We added in some of our own ideas such as a potion making class too. I would definitely recommend Packaway Parties. Easy to order and arrived in a secure box on time.

Apr 06,2023Thank you for the lovely decorations, Lego supplies and prizes included in our packaway parties box. Communication was amazing and I had a clear email explaining exactly what I was going to have in the box. The plan was also great which meant planning the party was nice and easy. Thanks again, great experience using packaway parties!

Mar 29,2023We really enjoyed putting on this Harry Potter party for our daughter’s 10th birthday. She and her friends had a great time, the games were excellent, the instructions really clear and it was all extremely well organised which meant the children had a great time!

Mar 23,2023Without a doubt the most stress-free party I've run. My daughter and her friends absolutely loved all the activities and games. It arrived really well organised with easy to understand and clear instructions. My daughter found the arrival of the crate and going through the contents as exciting as the party. Would recommend.

Mar 18,2023My 5year old had the Harry Potter party package, which was just so good. Way exceeded my expectations, and I loved all the range of games included. The Honeydukes sweetshop was also a massive hit. Liz was very helpful as well. Would 100% recommend. Thank you!!

Mar 10,2023The most amazing Harry Potter party any 9 year old could wish for! Honestly, I could not believe my luck when I stumbled across Packaway Parties. My daughter had asked for a Harry Potter party, and I was so disorganised I had left it to only a few weeks before. I started searching for party ideas, and realised that it would cost a fortune and take more time than I had to organise. That's when I found Packaway Parties. The sigh of relief when our party date was available. And the whole thing was mind-blowingly awesome! I cannot explain the attention to detail in the package from Liz. Everything you could ever want - costumes (even for the grown ups), decorations, signs, ready made party games (with prizes). We also upgraded and had the deluxe package with the sweet shop. We really had very little to do other than provide the party food and read the party plan. The kids had the best time - the party went down so well, they still talk about it now over a month on. Packaway Parties took all of the stress and hard work out of hosting a party at home. The delivery / collection was so efficient. I am eternally grateful to Liz, and I really would recommend this to anyone wanting to have a fabulous party but without any of the hassle.

Mar 07,2023Liz at Packaway Parties is wonderfully communicative and efficient. We ordered the Harry Potter package for 12 girls aged 8-9. The resources enabled us to transform our home into a magical portal to Hogwarts. The itinerary and games provided were fairly simple to follow and gave us an action-packed two hours. We skipped one game in order to fit everything in comfortably, and to suit our guests. As a parent, it was a sweet relief to be able to pack up all the party paraphernalia into one big box, which was collected by a courier, included in the price. In a culture where there's so much fast fashion and waste, it's good to know that the items will be used many times over and won't increase the clutter at home. Although we are quite creative, we saved so much time by not having to collate and prepare the resources ourselves - and money too. The talking Dobby, plush Hedwig and Monster book were big hits and we would not have purchased them just for a party. The house flags and large Hogwarts picture gave the party room a real 'wow' factor and all the extra little props and costumes really accentuated the Hogwarts atmosphere. One child told her parents it was the best party she'd ever been to. All the children seemed to enjoy getting into character and stayed engaged throughout, even those who hadn't personally read or watched any Harry Potter. Sometimes I gave a bit of backstory to help give a context for the games. We hired the sweet shop as an extra, which we had hidden upstairs. The children were so excited to bring their gold coins from the Monster book game, to find that Honeyduke's had landed in our box room. The backdrop provided looks very realistic! We used the sweets as their party bags. As a handy hint, for the Hedwig game, if you know how to tie a highwayman's hitch knot then you can dangle the keys from strings, which release when pulled. Also in hindsight, a bit of orange or brown food colouring in the cream soda would have given it a more authentic Butterbeer look.

Mar 06,2023A brilliant experience from start to end! We have just had the Roald Dahl party for my daughter’s 7th birthday for 16 of her friends. The games were all brilliant, and perfectly pitched to that age group. The props / costumes / prizes / instructions were all excellent and Liz was very easy to deal with. Would highly recommend.

Feb 27,2023Absolutely fantastic company. Kids parties made easy. We had a Lego party for my sons 6th birthday and Liz was great with communication. The massive kit arrived with huge amounts of party equipment and games. Plus a folder with detailed information on how to structure the day, what games to play and even supplied the prizes. All games were individually bagged and so very easy to make happen with a busy house of children. Incredible attention to detail and so well organised. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend packaway parties. Thank you Liz for making a child very happy (and the parents too!)

Feb 20,2023I recently hosted the Packaway Lego Party for my son's 6th Birthday with 23 children and it was absoloutely brilliant!!. Liz from the start was great and really helpful, quick responses on all communication we had, any questions I had were answered straight away and the whole process has been flawless. The attention to detail is amazing, as described you literally have everything you need in one big box to host an epic party. The delivery and collection process was so effortless and as its sent a few days before the party you can familiarise yourself with all the decorations and instructions. We had the deluxe package which included the pre- filled party bags which was a great option! The party instructions are so detailed, well thought out and clear to follow. From start to finish its a fantastic concept and would highly recommend Packaway Parties and will be booking them again!

Jan 30,2023Really helpful box. We had a Harry Potter party and everything was included from decorations to wands and cloaks, and a game plan. There was an easy to follow, step by step guide. Everyone seemed to have fun.

Jun 17,2023The Harry Potter party pack was absolutely fantastic. I was concerned that it might be a bit young for children aged 9 and 10. However, I could not have been more wrong! The children all loved it and said it was the best party they had ever been to! The pack contained so much and was very impressive. There were so many decorations that we couldn't use them all! The games were great fun and props were fantastic. The pack contains full and very clear details about how to play the games, as well as timings and a suggested schedule. The courier arrangments were also brilliant and the whole process was complete seamless. I love the eco side of this and the reduction in waste from reusing items. The whole process was absolutely brilliant and I would definitely recommend!
