Finding birthday party ideas for children is difficult and we hope that we have a solution for you.

We run softball cricket parties throughout the United Kingdom, all year round - indoors and outdoors - for boys and girls from the age of 5 and upwards, of all abilities.

A cricket party is a great alternative to a football party, and is fun for all children. Previous experience of playing cricket is not required.

Typical parties will include a mixture of different activities from catching games to throwing and batting games.

Party Arrangements

We offer a 1 hour (all ages), 1½ hour (7 yrs plus) or 2 hour (8 yrs plus) cricket party.

Our qualified cricket  coaches provide all the equipment and the birthday child will receive a miniature cricket bat but you will need to book a venue.  We can help with that and we have some venue ideas.  If none of those are appropriate please let us know if you need further assistance.

We will also send cricket party invitations for you to send out and specially designed attendance certificates which can be personalised for all the children.

Prices for a coach to run a party, including equipment are as follows:

• 1 hour - £80 (+VAT)
• 1½ hours - £100 (+VAT)
• 2 hours - £120 (+VAT)

plus 40p per mile (+VAT) for any coach travel required (the first 10 miles are free) which shouldn't be more than £50 in the worst case.

There is also £5 (+ VAT) per child extra if you have more than 20 children attending.

As a guide, venues tend to cost from £30-£60 an hour depending on where you live and where you choose.
