We love celebrating birthdays in the woods! If you are interested in having a Woodland Party to remember, please get in touch!
We offer 2 and 3 hour outdoor birthday parties with 2 qualified forest school practitioners.
All of our parties have full private use of our main forest school area. We will decorate the site with bunting, put up a selection of ropes, hammocks and swings dependent on the children’s age and we will also have our mud kitchen fully equipped with potions of coloured water and natural resources for their creations!
We also have a wide selection of resources such as mini wheelbarrows, trolleys, cuddly toys, natural resources, and musical instruments to encourage play and exploration. We have lots of tools to use in our tool area and depending on the children’s age, we can plan a craft or activity which provides an opportunity for tool use; however all crafts and more structured activities will remain child led and optional to all children.
The parties start at the log circle where we will intoriduce ourselves and welcome everyone to the party. We will talk about the various activities on offer, whether this is using tools, den building, imaginative creations, fire lighting, climbing and hanging or playing games! There will be lots of child led play involved, and possibly lots of mud! The children will all get sent off to play! We will gather back at the log circle for any campfire food and then later to sing happy birthday to the birthday child!
We can also provide personalised prinatble or downloadable invitations for you to hand out to your guests upon request.
2 hour Parties for up to 12 children start at £225 and 3 hour parties start at £300.
Additional children are charged at £10 each.
Please send us an email to enquire. We will then send you a booking form and we will confirm your date is secured. We will then send over the invitations and give you a date of when we will need your final numbers. Any additional extras can also be ordered and then the rest of the work is up to us and you can sit back and relax, knowing it is all in hand and just turn up on the day for a party filled with memories!

"The wonderful Fireflies team gave my son the best birthday party he has ever had! It was totally hassle free, they took over every aspect for us which meant that myself and his Dad could stand back and enjoy the party rather than being frazzled and stressed! The leaders had such a lovely approach with all the children, making an effort to ensure every single child enjoyed themselves. I couldnt reccomend their parties more!"
"Our daughter celebrated her 4th birthday party in January with Fireflies. The children all had a lovely time in the dens, on the swing, in the hammocks, mud kitchen and using their imagination at themed craft activity table. The staff were really friendly and they clearly put a lot of thoughtinto the planning and organising. I would highly recommend"
" My son had a fabulous time at his birthday party! Everyone loved it and I couldn't fault anything, it was run by brilliant people who totally engaged with the kids. Hassle free for parents too! "

"Fireflies forest school ran my daughter's 9th birthday party and it was fabulous! I wasn't sure about holding an outdoor party in December but Fireflies were so keen and confident that all would be well and they were right! The cold weather did not bother the children at all and there is always shelter in the forest. It was a witches and wizards party and the children made potions, whittled and decorated wands and ate food cooked on an open fire. It was such a special day my daughter will always remember. 'Robin' and 'Snail' were absolutely lovely with all the children, giving them plenty of freedom to explore but also providing fun, structured activities to take part in."
"Wow what can we say. It was absolutely fantastic. All the kids were smiling and happy, running around and roasting marshmallows. They climbed, built, swung, got messy and enjoyed being kids with added extras. absolutely fabulous and highly, highly recommend. Thank you so, so much"
"Jessica and Sonia did a fantastic job organising and hosting our six year old's birthday party. He and his friends had a brilliant time in their Forest School area, set up in the woods at Hinchingbrooke Country Park. There were hammocks, a rope swing, fun and games, and a fire pit for toasting marshmallows. They also organised an absolutely amazing birthday cake, and some lovely, plastic-free party bags. The whole thing was a huge success! We would definitely recommend Fireflies to anyone considering organising a child's birthday party - thank you Jessica and Sonia!"
