Give your child a memorable birthday treat at Medway Leisure Centres.


You won't have to worry about invitations, goody bags or balloons. That's all part of the package. And you can even relax and enjoy the fun too as there will be fully-trained party hosts to supervise the festivities.


Strood Leisure Centre and the Stirling Centre provide both a cold menu - a variety of sandwiches, pizza, crisps, assorted biscuits, ice cream and sauce - and a hot menu - pizza, pork sausages, chicken shapes, burger in a bap served with served with beans and potato shapes or chips, followed by ice cream.

Or you can bring your own food.

Your child is special, so make their birthday extra special with tailor-made parties, combining different activities for your child’s birthday. Ask staff at the centres listed here what they can offer.




  • Sandy’s soft play cavern
    The soft play area at Strood Leisure Centre is ideal for parties. Play in the ball pools, climb through three different levels of fun to take a ride down the spiral tube slide. Enjoy the party atmosphere with the disco lights. All the children require is comfortable clothing, socks and lots of energy. All children must be less than 10 years old and less than 4 feet 9 inches (145cm) tall.
  • Pool parties
    Pool parties at Strood Leisure Centre are held in shallow water and include play equipment for maximum fun. Fully qualified lifeguards supervise pool parties to ensure everybody has an enjoyable and safe time. The time to change is included in the activity time. Time restrictions may apply. Splashes Leisure Centre also offers fun pool parties.
  • Football parties
    Football parties are the ideal opportunity to have fun while playing sport. Set up a World Cup or FA Cup Final between your favourite teams and create the excitement of the real competition. Impress the party host with the silliest goal celebration. We’ve seen a few. Each party host has their favourite way to play. These parties take place at Strood Leisure Centre and the Stirling Centre.
  • Trampoline parties
    Trampolining is a great way to keep fit and have fun. All trampoline sessions are supervised by British Gymnastics qualified coaches, who ensure children are practising the best techniques and are safe at all times. Sports clothing and socks must be worn to jump on the trampolines. These parties take place at Strood Leisure Centre and the Stirling Centre.
  • Roller skating parties
    Roller skating parties at the Stirling Centre are ideal for the party with a difference and are unique to Stirling Centre. There is the option to skate with music or have a full roller disco with music and lighting effects. Games like tag can also be organised by the party host. Children can wear their own skates or they can be supplied. Roller-skating is not suitable for those under six years of age.

  • Tots' time parties
    Tots' time parties are quite an adventure for the under-fives. There is a lot of equipment to climb on, jump off and ride on. All equipment is heavily matted to ensure a safe time is had by all. These parties take place at Strood Leisure Centre and the Stirling Centre.
  • Bouncy castle parties
    Jump, giggle and bounce on well-maintained bouncy castles. Burn up all that extra energy. Please note: For health and safety reasons, shoes and sharp objects, such as jewellery, must be removed but socks are essential. Some age and number restrictions may apply. This will be at the discretion of the party host. These parties take place at Strood Leisure Centre, Stirling Centre and the Hundred of Hoo Leisure Centre.
  • Ball games parties
    This is an alternative to the football party. The party host at Strood Leisure Centre will adapt or introduce new games to the children, such as basketball, benchball, dodgeball and crab football. If you have any games you would particularly like to play, please let the centre know and the party host will be happy to supervise them.
