Birthday parties at Hardwick Park
Our birthday parties are perfect for children wanting something different to celebrate their big day.
What's included
All packages include use of our yurt, room decoration, a one and a half hour led activity session, food, full day parking permits and invitations for up to 25 children. A hot buffet, balloons, goody bags, party cakes and party hats are not included in your package.
All our birthday parties are held within our yurt. The yurt offers a unique space separate from other park visitors. It is also a great space for fun should the weather not be perfect on the day.
All of our birthday party packages cost £295. We can accommodate a maximum of 30 children at an extra £5 per head.
Duration: three hours
- 10.00am to 1.00pm (activities 10.30am to 12noon)
- 2.00pm to 5.00pm (activities 2.30pm to 4.00pm) (Spring and Summer only).
All parties are in and around the yurt and outside so please dress accordingly with layers and Wellington boots. Hardwick Park is a busy outdoor area and we ask parents to be mindful that some animals such as swans and ducks live at the park. The area around the lake may be slippy depending on the weather conditions and traffic in the car park is often busy.
Please keep hold of your invite as this can be exchanged for a parking pass.

- crisps

What to do on arrival
When arriving for your party, please remember Hardwick Park is a busy spot with lots going on, particularly near the car parks. Please make sure all your guests know to bring their invitation with them as it also doubles as a 'parking pass' for the day. The yurt's location is signed from the car parks and signage from the visitor centre will be put out on the day of your party.
