Kids’ parties
Kids woodworking birthday parties
Make it a building party. More Than Making brings real tools, materials and all the safety equipment to your venue, and every guest makes something to take home.
What happens at a building party?
Every guest makes their own project with real tools at a supervised workstation, then takes it home at the end of the party.
We bring the tools, the materials and all the safety equipment (PPE). We suggest a project that suits the ages of the children and the time you have, and we show each step before the children start, so everyone finishes with something they’re proud of.
Who is a woodworking party for?
Children aged 7 and over. It suits birthdays, and any celebration where the children would rather make something than watch something.
Projects and tools are matched to the ages in the group, in the same way as our weekend workshops, which have separate classes for ages 7 to 9 and 10 and over.
Where can the party be held?
In West Sussex and Surrey, at a venue you choose, as long as it has room for safe workstations. We check the space with you before we confirm.
A community hall, a school hall or a large room usually works well. Tell us where you have in mind when you ask, and we’ll let you know if it is suitable.
How is safety managed at a party?
The same way as at every More Than Making workshop: PPE worn during practical work, tools matched to each age, and close supervision throughout.
Guests need closed shoes and long hair tied back. A parent or the party host stays at the venue for the whole party, because it is a supervised activity, not childcare. Tell us about any medical needs or allergies in the group beforehand.
How much does a kids woodworking party cost?
Every party is quoted on request, because the price depends on the number of guests, the project and the venue.
Ask with the details below and we’ll email you a quote. Asking is free and doesn’t commit you to anything.
How do I book a party?
- Tell us the date you’d like, roughly how many children, their ages and where. Use the early list form on our home page and tick “A party”.
- We email you a quote and a project idea that suits the group.
- Once you’re happy, we confirm the date and the details with you by email.

Prefer a class for one child? Our weekend workshops have separate classes for ages 7 to 9 and 10 and over, at £30 a child for both classes during our launch period, then £35 after our first workshop. We’re also planning half term workshops with bigger projects. Read the parent information to see how a workshop day works.
