Collabor8Events are a unique company dreamt up and ran by two professionally trained performers to entertain at children’s parties, run educational workshops, produce and perform entertaining story telling shows and provide interactive events tailored to meet your needs.

Snow Princes Parties can host a virtual party for you, bringing all the magic and joy to your own home! Your child can choose any of their wonderful characters to host their party, whether it be a unicorn, a princess, a superhero, or more!

Sleepover Party

OK so they can’t sleepover all their best friends over to the same house but how about  having hiring indoor teepee tents to be delivered to a friends house and then catch up over zoom or a magical sibling sleepover.

Little Cotton Tents
Little Cotton Tents were one of the first indoor sleepover party tent providers.  They have the most wonderful set ups and a genuine passion to have everything perfect.  Pre lock down, my son had a fantastic party that he still raves about so I can personally recommend.
