Birthday Parties
We love birthdays at Yorkshire Forest Folk and parents often comment on how refreshing it is to be part of a birthday party that everyone can get involved in whilst being outdoors in nature.
Parties can be based on the following themes:
- Fairies and dragons
- Pirates
- Pokemon style
- Harry Potter style
- Bushcraft and survival
- Robin Hood
- Unicorns and magical creatures.
If you have any specific requests please let us know and we will try to accommodate them. Whatever the theme, most parties include games, den building, some form of crafting and fire lighting.

Example Birthday Party
Pirate party:
10am: children arrive. Play a game.
10.15am: Discover message in a bottle left by Captain Bluebeard asking children to join his pirate crew. To join his crew the children must first complete a series of challenges before finding the treasure. Are the salty sea dogs up for it?!
10.30am Children follow a trail around the woodland encountering challenges along the way:
- Can they create a shelter as a mighty sea fret encircles them?
- Evading capture and sneaking up on the enemy
- Creating sparks to light the cannons
At the end of the trail they find an X marks the spot where they dig up the treasure!
11.30am: Free play/game
11.45am: Lunch and marshmallows/hot chocolate
12.15pm: go home smiling, muddy and full of birthday cake and marshmallows, clutching our pirate treasure!
