Birthday parties

Included in the package are balloons, invitations and goody bags to fill on the day. Fully trained party hosts supervise all parties.

Sandy’s soft play cavern

Strood Leisure Centre

The soft play area 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 under 10 years of age and less than 4 feet 9 inches (145cm) tall.

Pool parties

Strood Leisure Centre

Pool parties 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.

Football parties

Strood Leisure Centre and the Stirling Centre

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.

Trampoline parties

Strood Leisure Centre and the Stirling Centre

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.

Roller skating parties

Stirling Centre

Roller skating parties 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

Strood Leisure Centre and the Stirling Centre

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.

Bouncy castle parties

Strood Leisure Centre, Stirling Centre and the Hundred of Hoo Leisure Centre

Jump, giggle and bounce on well-maintained bouncy castles. Burn up all that extra energy.

NB - for health and safety reasons, shoes and sharp objects, e.g. 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.

Ball games parties

Strood Leisure Centre

This is an alternative to the football party. The party host will adapt or introduce new games to the children, e.g. 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.

Tailor-made parties

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 centrs listed here what they can offer.
