Children’s Birthday Parties
Howick Historical Village is a magical setting for a birthday party!
Kids enjoy learning what life was like in the past and exploring the houses, buildings and streets, set in beautiful gardens with lawns and picnic tables, outdoor games, friendly chickens and lots of photo opportunities!
For your party, you are welcome to decorate, to plan games and activities (e.g treasure hunt) and to book entertainment or performers. We can provide recommendations if required as well as advice. Just keep us in the loop on your plans and we help make it happen!
