Children's Parties

A party to make their day

Bring family and friends together for a children’s party at David Livingstone Birthplace. With room hire, catering and activity options to discuss, we’ll help you plan a celebration that suits your child and your guests.

Start planning online, choose your buffet favourites and add the extras you need. If you have something particular in mind, our events team will be happy to talk through your ideas.

Build your own party

Every child has their own favourites. Our online party planner lets you choose the food and refreshments for your celebration, with a final price check before payment.

  • Children’s buffet from £6 per child, plus room hire.
  • A minimum of 15 children for the buffet.
  • Three buffet choices included.
  • Extra buffet choices at £1.50 per child, per choice.
  • Optional refreshments for children and adults.

Parties are available on Saturdays and Sundays, with other days available on request. Please check availability for your preferred date.

Space to celebrate, activities to enjoy

Talk to our events team about room hire and the activities available for your party. Let us know the children’s ages, approximate guest numbers and what the birthday child enjoys, and we’ll help you explore the options.

We’ll explain what can be arranged and any additional costs, so you can decide what works for your celebration.

Food for your party guests

Choose three buffet options as part of the children’s buffet, or add extra choices for more variety. You can also add refreshments for children and adults.

If any guests have allergies or dietary requirements, please speak to our team before booking so we can discuss what we can provide.

Plan now, finish later

You don’t need to decide everything at once. Enter your name and email address in our online party planner and we’ll email you a private link, so you can return to your plans later. No account is needed.
