Party Structure:

We offer 90 minute parties for kids 4-7 yrs and suggest a 2 hour option for kids 8 years and older.

For the first part of the party, the kids participate in the art workshop, creating their masterpiece. Our staff lead them through the workshop, ensuring all kids make something fantastic and have a great time in the process. During this time the birthday child sits in our spectacular birthday throne and all the guests contribute in a special wish pot that is later presented to the birthday child. The last 30 mins is time for the party food and birthday cake. At the completion of the party the kids collect their masterpieces to take home.

Our party venues only cater for one party at a time, so your function will be private and completely hosted by our wonderful and experienced party hosts.

“This is the third year in a row my daughter has chosen to have her party at The Art Factory! I think she loves it because the staff make her feel so special, and of course the artwork the kids create is always brilliant. I love it because it is so calm and organised and I don’t have to worry about a thing” Sue, mum of Grace 7 yrs
