We run children's parties in London, the South East, and around the UK. Our parties are incredibly interactive...the kids don't just sit watching a show for 2 hours. They'll build shelters, use flint and steels, cook over a fire, make and shoot their own bows and arrows...and generally, do a bit of personal re-wilding.

My 7 year old birthday party
My 7 year old and her friends had the best time with Esme - building shelter, eating bugs, roasting marshmallows and just having fun. Highly recommended!
Absolutely fantastic party
Absolutely fantastic party! The instructor was super engaging, had the group of 5 year olds working together, doing amazing activities outdoors. All the parents complimented us and said it was one of the best parties they’ve ever been to! Massively exceeded expectations.
An amazing experience for everyone
The instructor was great with a bunch of lively kids. He played a variety of fun old school games such as , tug of war which they loved. The biggest hit was making a small fire. He involved them all and they were absolutely mesmerised and focussed. An extremely original party that was a big hit for every child and parents too!
My son can’t wait to do it all over again I highly recommend and look forward to using Bushcraft parties again for next year.
Party for 7 year olds
We used Bushcraft Parties few years back and opted to use them again! It turned out to be a great decision! This time with a group of 7 year olds. Donna was amazing and the kids had great fun and everlasting memories. The booking process and communications were easy and responsive. Would recommend!
Forestry fun 🤩
There are no words to express just how brilliant our recent party was hosted by Bushcraft Parties.
Our twins turned 5 and wanted an outdoor experience to share with their friends and siblings (of varying ages.)
From bow and arrow making, to den building, bug tasting, plus many more activities, all children were kept constantly entertained.
When asking what was their favourite part of the party was their response was quite simply, ‘all of it!’
We would also like to add a special mention to the instructor, Shy. She was fantastic. Children enjoyed her company and she had them transfixed throughout.
There were many parents at our party all of which were equally as engaged as the children. Some asking Shy if you also held events for adults. Clearly a true testament to just how great these events are.
Thank you again for taking part in making such special memories for our children. When booking parties in the future there is no doubt we will use this fab company again.

We booked Bushcraft Parties for our son's 7th birthday. Communication during the booking process and ahead of the party was good. However, on the morning of the party the host was quite late and we tried calling him and the emergency number we were given but no one answered... Cue slight panic as we tried to work out a backup plan. Once he arrived, the party was great. The children had a brilliant time. Only slight niggle is that we asked for bug eating which didn't happen.

A triumph!
Alexei and Nanou did a fabulous job of keeping almost thirty 6- and 7-year olds engaged and entertained with fun and creative bushcraft activities for over 2 hours for our son's birthday party in our local wood . "A triumph", was how one of the parents described the event.
Alexei was always responsive, friendly and positive in his communications, both by email in the planning of the event, and in person on the day.

The party was a great success—the kids were enthusiastic and had a fantastic time. Nanou was amazing and kept them all entertained! The activities were engaging, fun, and perfectly suited for an outdoor adventure. The children loved learning new skills, exploring nature, and working together on exciting bushcraft challenges. It was a truly memorable experience for everyone involved!
Superb Winter Bushcraft Party !
We booked Bushcraft Parties for my son's 5th party, we were thinking it was a bit risky but just wanted something different from the usual indoor parties at this time of year. And it was superb, we were lucky with blue skies (it was only 2 degrees), but Jo who ran the party was very engaging, had the children up and active so they weren't cold for long. The activities were great, bow and arrow much better than we were expecting, we had loads of comments from the other parents how great the party was. Would highly recommend this, even in the depths of winter.
Thank you.
What an amazing experience
What an amazing experience! Den making, bow and arrow making/shooting, marshmallow toasting, bug eating! We cannot recommend highly enough. We were a group of 20 four and five year olds and it was absolutely perfect. Mo kept everyone engaged for 2 hours. The birthday girl was treated - first to shoot her bow and arrow through a hoop, set the camp fire alight etc. Honestly, dont’t even think twice about booking - if you’re already interested and reading this review… just get on and book!
What an amazing birthday party!
We had a fantastic 6th birthday party for my son, hosted by Bushcraft Parties, run by Mo. The kids were so engaged, so happy and excited. They learned how to make a bow and arrow, and how to use flint and make a fire. It worked perfectly for a group of 5-6 year olds and was lovely to do something outdoors in the woods. Queen’s Park was a great location for it. I would 100% recommend Bushcraft Parties and Mo for anyone looking for a fun, different, good value party! Thank you!
Great Birthday Party
We had an amazing adventure with the brilliant instructor Mo who managed 15 Boys keeping them engaged all the time!
Mo planned many activities and he always kept a firm, but kind approach to the boys.
A fantastic outdoor and relatively cheap option for a birthday party!
Thank you so much, we had so much fun!

9th birthday party
We couldn't be happier with our party organised via Bushcraft parties for my daughters 9th birthday. Our guide was very engaging and everyone truly enjoyed all the activities. I can highly recommend!
Best Party Ever
I found Bushcraft Parties via Google whilst looking for an outdoor party for January for my son and his best friend's joint 7th birthday. I'd never heard of them prior but it sounded great so I decided to go with them because of the great reviews. And I'm so glad I did. I didn't know what to expect but they exceeded my expectations. From the friendly and swift communication with Lauren, who provided me with all the details and answered my numerous questions, to the fantastic instructors Joetta and Donna, who were just brilliant. They called a day before to check all was okay and to arrange the meetup. On the day, they arrived promptly with a positive attitude and good spirits. It was very cold but they immediately took control of 35 excited 4-7 year olds and kept them active, engaged and warm. The activities were exciting and varied. There were breaks inbetween as well, in which the kids could have a snack and drinks plus a larger break for lunch. They had great control of the kids and were also kind and patient with them. The kids and adults just had such a great time and thought it was one of the best parties they'd been to. Being outdoors in nature had a positive effect on all.
I wholeheartedly recommend Bushcraft Parties as they delivered what they promised on the website.
Bushcraft parties 5 Stars!
Bushcraft parties provided a unique, magical experience for our party. My 9 year old son loved it, as did all of his friends. Parents were all delighted to be outside for a party, and it was fantastic to see the children connecting with nature. They made bows and arrows, which were extremely effective and not just for show, they're not dangerous of course, but they fly so well and provided so much entertainment. Our instructor, Nanou was excellent, professional, knowledgeable, kind, friendly and above all, she'd kept the attention of every child for the entirety. Very good value for money, as the children really do learn during the party, it's not just mucking about, and they have so much fun during the process. The structure of the party was faultless. Cannot recommend more highly. Five stars! We risked booking a party in January, armed with flasks of tea and hot water bottles, and the children wrapped up warmly. The cold didn't bother anyone, as they had so much fun and we'd definitely say don't think this is only for the summer months, go for it!
Amazing Bushcraft party!
My son and his friends thoroughly enjoyed his 7th birthday party - building shelters, toasting marshmallows and making awesome bow and arrows! Thank you to Mo who is a fantastic instructor and had great control over 25 children (mostly boys!!).
This was our second Bushcraft party and…
This was our second Bushcraft party and we loved it. Kids are so entertained, the activities are perfectly suited, and Joe was a super instructor for our 8 year old boy and his friends. Highly recommend!!
