Paint your ornament is a perfect creative workshop, build a bear is a recent workshop we added which the children make their own teddy bear. There is always something for everyone at Joob Joobs birthday parties. We take great care to offer unique workshops that are a bit different from what traditional birthday hosts offer!

What age are the birthdays suitable for?

We offer birthdays from aged 5 to 13, however we can tailor any of our activities and workshops for any age group interested in hosting a party with us.

How long are parties at Joob Joobs?

Birthday parties are 1 hour 30mins. The first hour is focused on your chosen activity workshop and the rest of the time is spent eating lots of sweets and ice cream. Please bear in mind if you do pick a time slot that has a birthday booked directly after you that we need that space back after 1 hour 30mins to prepare for the next party. We advise to book a time during the week if you would like to stay longer.

Can we bring party food or birthday cake to a Joob Joobs party?

You are welcome to bring a birthday cake to the venue however party food is not allowed and all food consumed must be bought in store. All children will receive either the party box or sweet party package after their workshop which is very filling and so we don't offer hot food at this time.

How many guests can i bring at the birthday?

Having the biggest sweet shop helps us with this! We cater to birthdays for up to 28 people at a time (there will be a minimum charge for 10). We will contact you a few days before your booking to confirm numbers and if you have any other questions regarding the party. If you are wanting a much larger party we can offer a closed shop party with max of 50 people attending. Please email hello@joobjoobs.com to enquire about this.

Do you offer sweet packages especially for birthdays?

Yes! We offer 2 different sweet options - the sweet box includes our best selling artisan sweets as well as candy from our candy wall inside the box. This option is best suited to those with dietary requirements Eg. gluten free, vegan and dairy free so we can tailor to each child's dietary needs. Please let us know via email if you have any dietary requirements as boxes are pre-made before arrival. Our most popular package is the sweet party package which includes ice cream, drink ,popcorn and pouch of sweets. We do not offer hot food or sandwiches etc. due to the workshop being 1 hour long and highly interactive. The sweet packages are eaten after the workshop, and is already a substantial amount of food for the children. We find everyone is already so full when leaving! Parents also have the option to bring a birthday cake. No other outside food may be consumed on site. All parties are 1 hour 30mins long with workshop being hosted first followed by the selected sweet package. Please note our ice cream is gluten free but not dairy free.

You then have the option to purchase an activity. For all sweet packages prebooked or pay as you go - we create a tab for your birthday at the till to make it very easy to pay at the end of party for everything.

Do you cater to vegan or gluten free diets?
