  CHILDREN'S FANTASY BIRTHDAY PARTIES IN A CASTLE

The format for birthday parties is worked out with you on a case by case basis but here are some popular combinations of options.

• 6 couples arrive late afternoon, check into their rooms and dress for dinner. Pre-dinner drinks and nibbles are served in the lounge followed by a sit down dinner in the main banqueting turret. Live entertainment is an option eg. musician, actor's skit or a murder mystery script written for the group. A dance is also an option eg. jukebox, band, DJ etc. A nightcap in the lounge over coffee (with a sliver of birthday cake as another option), an overnight stay in the castle, a relaxed, late breakfast and a cruisy,midday checkout (or later if we don't have another function to prepare for). 

"This is a big, huge thank you to you both for hosting a fantastic party, a great night's sleep and a very delicious breakfast. Our whole family and all Mum's friends loved every minute of our time at your home and really appreciated all your hard work. Thanks again, Charmaine."

"It's hard to believe it is over 4 mths since we celebrated my mother's 80th birthday at your wonderful establishment.  Everyone had a fantastic time and my mum was particularly impressed.  I think she felt that it was much more special than anything she had expected, and way better than a BBQ with all the family attending at her place.  Kevin was spot on with his timing for all things.  I guess practice leads to perfection, but I certainly appreciated the work done by you to make the day go flawlessly.Thanks again for such a wonderful, fabulous, and special day for our Mum."
