What to expect at a Discovery Village Birthday Party

From the moment your little one arrives we want them to feel VIP. You’ll be greeted by one of our wonderful team who will show you to your party table where your party guests will eat and also where they can leave any gifts for the birthday child.

Every party guest gets a special Discovery VIllage name sticker – this helps our performers interact with the party guests and tells everyone else that they are VIP’s inside our role play village. With coats and shoes off it’s into the play village to explore, play and join our live performers for songs dance and our story of the day.

At a suitable point in the story, the performer will line up the birthday child and their guests and lead them to the party table for food and drinks. Once the little ones are fed, our live performer will encourage everyone to sing happy birthday before everyone returns to the village for more imaginative play.

As the session comes to an end, everyone helps with our infamous tidy up song before popping on their shoes and saying goodbye.
