Jan 26,2023Our three year-old son and his friends loved their jungle party. Liz was incredibly helpful with my very last minute party organisation and went out of her way to oversee the delivery and include a snow leopard which my son had particularly requested. The games were great fun and not too stressful to organise and the decorations were lovely. Best of all it can pretty much all be reused again and again by different people. A great concept very well executed!

Jan 14,2023We hired Harry Potter party package and it was fantastic. Games, decorations etc were great. Children had an amazing time. I think the candles were the biggest hit. Second favourite was the hedwig key race. Third favourite was the pass the snitch and the book. Everyone loved the book of monsters! The party planner was very well written and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend it.

Jan 07,2023What a brilliant experience from start to finish! We had a wonderful lego themed party using Packaway Parties. The box contained everything we needed and more for a stress free, easy to manage party. We paid for the deluxe add on so even had invitations, party bags and themed cups / plates etc organised for us - a total god send. I was a bit concerned about the logistics of the box being delivered and returned but it was all so well organised and easy I needn't have worried at all. We will definitely use Packaway Parties next time we are planning a party. Thank you so much!

Dec 20,2022We ordered the Harry Potter party box for my son's 7th birthday and can't fault it - it really catered for everything. The decorations and outfits are brilliant and it is packed full of games that my son loved. I came across the website by chance when I was trying to find themed party decorations and am so glad that I did - the amount and quality of decorations and games are far superior to anything that I would have been able to cobble together. I thought the price was incredibly reasonable and love the sustainability aspect. We added the Honeydukes sweetshop as an extra and that worked really well - the children loved getting a coin from the monster book of monsters to 'spend' there. Communication was great and I have no doubt that we will be using Packaway Parties again - what a great business.

Dec 17,2022We have now used Packaway Parties 3 times and we cannot fault them. Everything you need for a great time is inside the box - decorations, game plans and resources, costumes. You can choose to add party bags too, which are all eco. The booking, delivery and returns are brilliantly organised and Liz's communication is great too. Highly recommend

Dec 12,2022My son had a great party! Everything that was needed was included in the package, no need to organise anything else other than food and party bags. Instructions very clear for the games. The kids really enjoyed the challenges and games. Very good communication from packaway parties. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Dec 08,2022We are extremely happy with this service. For weeks, we were wondering what to do for our daughter's party. We knew what the theme would be and had a list of kids to invite but we had no activities or decorations planned out for the party. It was really stressing me out! So I googled and found this service and I must say, it was fantastic. It took away all the stress and worry of trying to figure out what to do for the party. Everything was delivered professionally and on time and we got everything we needed - and then some - to host a unique, memorable, and really fun party. Thanks to this service, all props, decorations, and all activities were taken care of. We saved so much planning time! And likely money as well as buying everything we ended up hiring would have cost a fortune. The kids had so much fun at our party, it's all they were talking about for days afterwards! I'd recommend this service for all parents, especially very busy ones like us, 100%.

Nov 30,2022We loved the convenience of the packaway party box idea and it exceeded our expectations. We went for the Harry potter theme and our daughter was blown away by all the attention to detail, which we could not have pulled off if we had done it ourselves! There is a lot to unpack and set up so you do need to allow time for this, you also need to familiarise yourselves with the games beforehand but once you’ve done that the party just flows naturally, all you need to do is follow the instructions! Such a brilliant idea for busy parents with limited capacity for planning and organising because Liz has done the bulk of it for you. I would definitely recommend Packaway parties to anyone looking for something a bit special and different to the normal party format.

Nov 28,2022Our Harry Potter packaway party was unbelievably amazing! The children absolutely loved all the games and were completely engaged for the full two hours. It was so easy for us not having to buy all the bits needed and I love that everything will get reused.

Nov 24,2022We absolutely loved our packaway party and, more importantly, our son and all his friends did too. The Lego-themed box was packed full of vibrant decorations for the house, and brilliant games to keep everyone entertained. If you're looking for a really innovative and fun way to organise a house party for your kids, I highly recommend you check this out. (Oh, and did I mention it's environmentally friendly too? Everything goes back in the box for collection by courier the next day. Extremely convenient!)

Nov 14,2022Such a unique idea. Just had my sons party and it was brilliant. Harry Potter theme so all the classics are there like Dobbie and Hedwig. I don't want to spoil but it was so interactive and fun. I was looking for something a little different and very interactive and this is exactly what you get. My son was absolutely blown away. Liz was so, so helpful in every way beforehand and the instructions were really thorough even though there's room to do things your way if you want. Just make sure all the kids are expecting the theme. Would give 6 stars if poss

Nov 14,2022My 5 year old loved his birthday party. Liz is very swift in her communication and explained what it meant to hire the packaway box. When the box arrived, it was all packed neat, clean and appropriate. There was an easy itenary list to follow which was great to check in items received and check items for returning. The box arrives at your door and taken away from your door, so no going out to collect or send back. There was plenty of games. As the age range was 4-5 some were a little out there but we could adapt. The children loved the obstacle course with the dinosaur space hoppers. Just we only got one set of dinosaur stilts, whereas we had two sets of everything else ( so it would have been expected that the obstacle course accommodated two teams) - so I had to leave them out. The standard cost covers 12 children, I ordered for 15 (3.99 per extra child). We had a few no shows and maybe on reflection £4 for the extra bits to add for each child, was in my view a little bit much. Maybe offering £10 extra for 4 more children, then enables parents to feel more of a deal or incentive to add extra children. Definitely recommend and I will be using this in the future.

Nov 13,2022Fabulous Harry Potter party for 8 year olds! The programme and schedule was extremely well laid out, clear instructions and above-expectation selection of props, games and costumes in the crate. Casting spells, making magic potions, trying to open the Monster Book and spending well deserved golden coins in Diagon Alley sweet shop... and so much more. Kids had a blast and the games and party's narrative sparked imagination even for those who have not yet read the book. This was a 'wow'-party at affordable price and in a more environmentally friendly way (and hardly any time spent on planning and organising!). Thanks Packaway Parties and Liz (who has been a great support throughout)!

Oct 31,2022Thank you to Packaway Parties for giving my 8 year old son the star wars themed birthday party he was dreaming of. The decorations were fantastic and the children had a great time playing all the games. We would definitely use Packaway Parties again.

Jan 30,2023We ordered the Lego Ninjago box for our 7 year olds birthday. Liz was very helpful, always replying to emails quickly and answering all of our queries in a friendly and easy to understand manner. We really felt that she, like us, wanted the birthday to be as fun as possible! The crate/box that arrived with the all the gear in it was very generous- enough decorations to fill the hall we hired. The games were easy to set up and instructions easy to follow. We liked the idea of being as sustainable as possible. It was good to be able to pack the decorations away and send them back to be used by someone else, as opposed to throwing them out. Price wise we found it good value for money. The children loved the games, costumes and decorations. Would, and have, recommended to others.
