Back to School

September is easier when the school year starts with a party, not just homework

Children's workshops and giant games built for company parties aimed at staff families, to close out summer and start September with an activity the kids look forward to.

Many companies run a summer or Christmas party for staff families, but September is just as good a moment and far less used: it closes out summer, coincides with the start of school, and gives an excuse for a celebration that helps the return to routine feel like more than just homework and timetables.

We combine craft workshops with giant games to cover a wide age range, from the youngest to those just starting primary school, in an afternoon format families can easily fit into a weekend.

  • Septembersummer's close, school's start
  • 24 hquote turnaround
  • Familyactivities for several age ranges
  • 100%own staff and equipment

Frequently asked questions

What age range does it work best for?

It scales from 3 to 10-12 years old by combining different activities at once.

Can it combine with a snack or light catering?

Yes, it's a common pairing so the afternoon also has a moment to eat together.

How long does this kind of event last?

Two to three hours in the afternoon is most common, fitting into a Saturday without taking the whole day.

How far ahead should September be booked?

Three or four weeks' margin is recommended, since September also means back to school for the entertainment team's own families.
