🎭 2. Add Entertainment That Feels Fresh

Forget the same old disco. Kids this age want something interactive. Think:

• Magic shows (they still love a good trick!)

• Mini pamper parties for the girls who want to feel grown-up

• Nerf battles or bubble football for high-energy kids

• Gaming vans or VR parties for screen-time done right

Coleraine’s local suppliers cover all that and more. Each listing on PartySuppliersDirect.com includes direct contact details; no middlemen, no “we’ll get back to you next week.”

🎂 3. Indoors or Outdoors? (Coleraine Weather Says “Both”)

Coleraine’s weather is the definition of “maybe.” So plan for both.

• Outdoor: Bouncy castles, sports pitches, or a local park picnic.

• Indoor: Score FC, Community halls, leisure centres, or small function rooms with space to run and dance.

Many local halls now appear on PSD with private hire info making it easier to pair your venue with a food supplier or entertainer in one go.

Bonus: Most will even handle setup and clean-up. That’s time you get back to actually enjoy the day.
