Children's Parties

We are well known for organising popular, craft and jewellery making parties for boys and girls offering a huge choice of crafts to suit everyone. We can theme parties from princess to pirate from bracelets to boating. Just drop us an email or give us a call and we can chat through ideas, making sure your child has the best arts and craft party ever.
Don’t forget it doesn’t have to be for a birthday. We can organise a special get together or afternoon of crafting for friends. A great activity to make new friends at school. Or to design your prom jewellery.
Your party can be run at BellaCrafts or we can travel to you, either at home or to a chosen venue where we can arrange longer parties including disco’s, fancy dress costume making, prizes, games, decorations, catering and more.
