Newtownabbey Birthday Planning: Your Quick Q&A Guide

 Planning your child’s Newtownabbey birthday can feel like a full-time job. But it doesn’t have to! We asked the questions parents ask most and gave you answers that actually help. 

 

Q: Where can I host a birthday party in Newtownabbey that kids will actually love? 

A: You’ve got options, depending on what your kid likes: 

• Airtastic Entertainment Centres – Inflatable parks, soft play, laser tag, bowling… basically everything that burns off sugar and energy. 

• Thrills Inflatable hire – Indoor party packages with bouncy castles and disco domes. Perfect if the weather turns. 

Pro tip: Sites like PartySuppliersDirect.com make it easy to see all local venues in one place so no endless Google scrolling. 

 

Q: What about decorations? Where do I get the fun stuff without losing my mind? 

A: Northern Ireland has some amazing local suppliers who deliver straight to your door: 

• BalloonFactory.ie – Balloon garlands, custom designs, next-day delivery. 

• AP Events NI– Venue styling, shimmer walls, and all the little extras that make a party Instagram-worthy. 

Listing your business here means parents find you when they’re looking for the stuff that makes parties pop without you chasing leads. 

 

Q: Can I bring my own food and entertainment? 

A: Yes! Some venues like council leisure centres allow self-catering. Others offer in-house catering. Either way, checking PartySuppliersDirect.com helps you find both venues and entertainers in one search. Less back-and-forth, more fun for everyone. 

Tip: if you can, I recommend ordering the food in rather than cooking. You don’t want to miss the fun and memories while you’re in the kitchen panicking over chicken nuggets and cocktail sausages.

 

Q: Are there extras that make the party stress-free? 

A: Absolutely. Think: 

• Mobile entertainers (face painters, magicians) 

• Soft play or bouncy castle hire 

• Party photographers 

Many of these services are already listed on PartySuppliersDirect.com. Parents love being able to pick multiple services in one place, and for local business owners, it’s an easy way to reach the families who actually need your services.
