Childrens Birthday Party Ideas in Northumberland
There is more to a Northumberland birthday than soft play and a bowling alley. These are the party ideas parents tell me their kids still talk about months later.

Paddleboarding Party
on the Lake
A proper adventure party on Ladyburn Lake run by a local watersports charity. The kids get kitted out in wetsuits and buoyancy aids, then it is two hours of paddleboards, sit on top kayaks and the eight person Mega SUP, usually finishing with jetty jumping. Weather permitting there are picnic benches by the water for the cake afterwards.

A Zoo Party with a
Private Reptile Encounter
A hidden gem tucked away on the Kirkley Hall estate. The zoo party gives you time to look round on your own, then a private handling session in the Discovery room with reptiles, amphibians and bugs, and a classroom of your own for the party food. For ages 5 and over. Smaller groups can book the zookeeper day instead, ten until four shadowing a keeper, for up to eight children aged 6 and over.

Fun Farm
Party
A big family run farm just south of Morpeth with a whole menu of party packages, from hands on animal interactions with small fluffy animals and reptiles to a roar-some dinosaur party. Every package comes with a party host and a birthday tea in the Hungry Pig Cafe, and the group can stay on and enjoy the farm for the rest of the day.

Indoor Climbing
Wall Party
A Clip ‘n Climb arena of brightly coloured walls, where the kids can take on the challenges and race each other to the top. An active party that burns off plenty of energy, right in the middle of Cramlington. Parties are arranged directly with the centre team by email rather than booked online. Kids will really enjoy this.

Paint Your Own
Pottery Party
A calmer, creative option in the heart of Hexham. The children spend the afternoon painting their own pottery in a party room of your own, and take the finished piece home once it has been fired.
