Most frequent questions and answers
Most of our parties last for 90 minutes which includes around 75 minutes of non stop adventure story party entertainment and around 15 minutes of photoshoot/potion making if this is added on. If you’re doing food, this will be introduced after the photoshoot and potions while we clear away. Due to the fabulous nature of our setup and the different elements of the parties we require 90 minutes to create the party prior to starting the entertainment and around an hour afterwards to clear away; so a 4 hour block of time is recommended if you are looking to hire a venue. For the Luxury Experience Parties (Mini Retreat, Popstar Pamper, Princess Pamper and Adopt a Pet) parties we require a 5 hour block of time which includes 2 hours setup, 2 hours for the party and an hour to clear away afterwards.
On Saturdays we are based locally at either Whittle Village Hall or Leyland Methodist Community Centre so we’re able to do two parties each Saturday. We’ve pre-booked the room so you don’t have to waste time finding and communicating with the venue, meaning you can simply pay the hire fee to us and we’ll pass it on! Saturday parties are from 10-12 or 1.30-3.30 and we can also upgrade these parties to our Peaches & Cream package where you simply bring the cake and leave all setup, tidying away and food to us! See the Pricing & Packages page for more info on this. On Sunday afternoons or weekdays we can come to your home (if you have a space big enough for the setup and to host the amount of children you’d like to invite) or to a hired venue within around 20 minutes drive of Leyland, Lancashire. If you’d like recommendations on venues just give us a shout as we’ve been to a lot of different halls, rooms and areas and are happy to advise. We also do nursery and school parties so if you’re looking to celebrate a special event such as end of year graduation, Christmas, Halloween, Easter or anything else just let us know.
Our prices and packages can be found HERE. We require a £50 deposit to book the date with the balance paid on or before the morning of the party.
We do our best to make sure everything you could want for an extra special children’s party is included in the price! We provide personalised invites, a personalised welcome board, a gorgeous backdrop and decor, non stop magical adventure party entertainment, themed music, props, games, activities, dressing up, tattoos, stickers, a pass the parcel gift and treat, the option to add on crown and potion making, and a full photoshoot to remember the day. The only things you need to sort out are the location if it’s not on a Saturday (home or a hired venue), a cake and food if you are providing this. If you’d like a Saturday party we’re able to sort the venue and food out for you too if you’d like – see our Pricing & Packages page for more info on our Venue & Entertainment package and our Peaches & Cream package. Some of our customers also do party bags or sweet cones too if they are feeling extra. If you’d like sweet cones to be added just let us know as we now provide themed sweet cones too.
To read what happens at each party simply go to the Party Themes page and click on each theme where you can read the full party summary.
To book a Mrs Peach Parties event, simply pop us a message to enquire about dates. Once we confirm your desired date is available and you have paid the £50 deposit we need to know the theme, name and age the birthday child is turning, location of the party and your contact details so we can create your personalised party invite. You then only need to send out the invites, sort the venue (if it’s not a Saturday party) and food (if you’re doing that), pay the balance by the day before the party and turn up on the day with your little one to enjoy the magical adventures! We will have a call the week of the party to discuss all the details but in the meantime if you have any questions or need anything at all just drop us a note!
We do cute themed parties for very special little people who like something a bit different. Our parties are wholesome, whimsical and immersive and take children on a magical adventure where they become part of the story. We have 20 themes to choose from so there is something for everyone, plus we do seasonal celebrations for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween and Christmas. Seasonal celebration tickets will be launched on our socials and our website with countdowns to ticket release advertised so you can make sure you get tickets if you’d like to join us! Our seasonal parties can also be done for private birthday parties too, for example one of our special little peaches Nancy absolutely loves Easter so she had an Easter themed birthday party for her 6th birthday.
Thankfully for us, Mrs Peach Parties is really popular and we couldn’t be happier about this, however it does mean we have to apologise when we’re booked up and can’t help at short notice. It is advisable to book your party at least 3 months in advance and if you’re super organised, up to a year in advance is possible as weekends are in high demand. For short notice bookings or those who really want a party on a particularly busy week we do offer after school, evening and school holiday parties so just drop us a note and we’ll do everything we can to help.
The magical adventures in our parties are tailored for children to take part independently between the ages of around 4-9, however we are more than happy to tailor our parties for younger audiences by going down a more sensory route and including support from their grownups. We entertain guests from ages 1-10 in most parties and even if the little ones don’t fully understand the adventure story they all enjoy the atmosphere, props, special effects and getting involved in the activities with support from their grownups.
This is completely up to the party organiser, however we (and the children) absolutely love it when their grownups stay and experience the magical adventures with us! Plus, the grownups who do stay will be invited to be in photos with their children at the end of the party which means they get some absolutely gorgeous family photos for free! There are parts in each party where we ask for willing grownups to help us hold props, dress up as themed characters or simply be there for the children to give a hug or a high five to, and the children absolutely LOVE it when their grownup takes part and enjoys the magic of the party with them. If the party organiser does allow drop-offs then there must be enough adults remaining to supervise the children present, as we will be far too busy entertaining and can’t be held responsible for the children‘s behaviour and safety.
We are based in Leyland, Lancashire and are happy to come to your home or hired venue within around a 20 minute drive. This means we do parties in Leyland, Chorley, Bamber Bridge, Lostock Hall, Penwortham, Preston, Croston, Eccleston, Wrightington, Appley Bridge, Horwich, Blackburn, Darwen and all surrounding areas.
At most of our parties (the magical adventure story parties) the maximum number of children we can entertain is 25. This is because we pride ourselves on quality over quantity and have so much to fit into each party to make it magical. With smaller parties we find each section takes less time for everyone to have a turn than at larger parties, which means we can squeeze even more activities in! Most of our games and activities also require props and we have 25 of everything, so if there were more than 25 it would mean somebody wouldn’t get a prop, which isn’t ideal! The 25 limit does only apply to children taking part however, so if there are little ones who just want to come and enjoy the atmosphere, music and general vibe but won’t be taking part in the pass the parcel/potions/prizes etc and won’t need a prop for every part of the party these won’t count towards the number.
Illness happens and we completely understand that in an extreme circumstance you may need to cancel a booking at short notice. In this case, the £50 deposit is non refundable (unless we can find someone else to replace the booking), however you will not have to pay the remaining balance and we’ll send all the get well vibes we can generate. If we are too ill to attend your party (we would have to be unconscious or contagious for this to be the case!) we will do our best to find you an alternative entertainer and in the case of this not being possible we would refund the deposit in full and give you a discount on another party in the future.
We edit and send the photoshoot photos to the party organiser to distribute/share with those in the pictures within 4 days of the booking, but normally it will be on the night of the party. Should you require any of the pictures sent in high resolution please contact us within a few days and will send these over for free! We take gorgeous photos and absolutely love that so many of our guests love them enough to print and display them. To be compliant with GDPR, we delete the photos from our camera and devices after two weeks, so do contact us asap if you’d like the images sent across for printing.
We normally do morning parties starting at 10 or 10.30 and afternoon parties starting at 1.30 or 2, however these times are flexible and we’re happy to discuss with you.
No, as long as we can gain access to the venue 90 minutes before you want the party to start we’re happy to set up while you get ready at home! It is advisable for you to arrive about 20 minutes before the party starts though so we can do introductions and do family pictures plus let the birthday child get first pick of the tattoos and stickers!
