 FAQs

  • Yes, please! We can only accommodate 60 children, so we recommend booking their ticket in advance. You can book a ticket here.

  • The party is completely free, although you are always welcome to make a donation if you wish.

  • Definitely! We particularly encourage children to dress as their favourite character from Harry Potter. Your child doesn’t have to dress up if they’d rather not. If finding a costume is tricky, please get in touch – we’re always happy to help!

  • The party will be in the church and in the meadow, so please make sure your child brings a warm hat and coat.

  • No, you don’t need to, but if you’re dropping off, please make sure you’ve filled in pick-up arrangements and an emergency contact when you book your ticket. Of course, you are welcome to stay with your child if you prefer, and/or help out if you’d like!

  • Yes! Halloween, or ‘All Hallows’ Eve,’ is a Christian festival that’s been celebrated since the Middle Ages. It’s the evening before All Saints’ Day, a time to remember loved ones who have died, as well as saints and martyrs. This will just be a fun party for local children as a free and safe alternative to trick-or-treating. There will be no religious element, and children of all faiths – or none – are welcome!
