Steps to Planning a Private Party Without a Hall Rental

1. Identify Your Party Needs

Think about:

• Age of the guests

• Type of celebration (birthday, graduation, family get-together)

• Time of year and potential weather issues.

• Budget

For a fun, worry-free time with kids, consider a mobile play venue like Kids Play Bus. It’s great for any weather!

2. Pick a Unique Venue

Aside from a play bus, other non-hall options include:

• Your backyard

• Local parks (if the weather permits).

• Community centers or church spaces

• Even a driveway or parking space!

But the easiest, least fussy option for kids’ events? Let the party bus come to you.

3. Plan Entertainment

This is where KidsPlayBus really shines. Why hire many entertainers or rent bouncy castles and soft play separately? Everything you need is on the bus!

• Active and safe play options for different age groups.

• Music and lights are inside the bus.

• Add-ons like bubble machines and balloons.

• Custom party packages that keep kids entertained for 1–2 hours straight.

4. Create a Simple Yet Effective Menu

Skip the fancy catering and go with kid-friendly favorites:

• Sandwiches or wraps.

• Fruit skewers.

• Mini pizzas or nuggets.

• Juice boxes, squash, or water.

Tip: Use the eating area available in Kids Play Bus Gold Package for added convenience.

5. Send Invitations

KidsPlayBus provides custom digital invites. Some packages save you time and add a professional touch to your event planning.

6. Decor and Theme

You can still go full-theme mode even without a hall.

• Use themed tableware and cake toppers.

• Pick a theme that fits what the child likes, such as dinosaurs, princesses, or superheroes.

• Add your own balloons or get them included in a Gold Package from KidsPlayBus.

7. Consider your budget and payment options

Halls can get expensive. But KidsPlayBus offers:

• Competitive pricing starts at £140 per hour.

• Gold and Silver packages depend on the days and duration.

• Easy 0% interest payment plans so that no child misses out.

This approach balances fun and affordability.

8. Capture the Memories

Bring a phone or camera. You can also hire a local photographer. They can capture the kids climbing, sliding, and laughing. One of the perks of KidsPlayBus? Photo op in the driver’s seat!

9. Safety First

Hosting at home or with a soft play unit keeps your kids in your control and visibility. Plus, KidsPlayBus:

• Is professionally maintained.

• Is operated by an attentive staff.

• Has excellent reviews from parents across the region.

Bonus Tip: Combine Events!

Some families share a KidsPlayBus session for two siblings or friends. This way, they save money and double the fun.
