Locations
The parties are held at our site in Hurst Park in West Molesey. Please note that our site is not gated.
Information
We will meet you and your family at the entrance of our site 15 minutes prior to the start of the party.
At the start of the party we ask all of the children to sit around our fire circle, we explain our safety rules and set the scene of your chosen theme. The children will then work together to complete 3-4 activities over the two hour party. Parents are asked to stay outside of the main activity area while the party is running. Some parents choose to sit nearby in the park and have a party of their own, or head down to the nearby Cafe (at Hampton Court Cricket Club).
We can also offer a food package at an additional cost of £7.00 per head which will include hot dogs, smores and a drink. If you wish to provide anything extra, we are more than happy that you do so, but please do let us know beforehand.
We can also cater for any dietary requirements.

Please note
Parents of invited guests often ask if they can bring siblings along. Unfortunately, we have to be strict about numbers for safety reasons, so we do require that all children present are counted in the guest list.
Forest Tales rules and expectations are explained to the children at the start of a session.
There will be a minimum of one staff member to every five children.
We will take overall responsibility for the running of the party ensuring everyone is well and happy. The children are encouraged to participate in the activities.
Parents are asked to stay outside the main activity area while the party is running. There are benches in the park for parents to sit on while they wait and a cafe nearby (at Hampton Court Cricket Club).
