Looking for some information and haven't found it elsewhere

on our website? Below is a list of questions we are asked on

a semi-regular basis, hopefully you will find your answer here!

Are you a venue?

No, we don't have a venue, we come to you. Our hosts travel to most places in the greater Sydney region. We can do parties in homes, halls, backyards and garages.

How much space do you need?

The short answer to this is, the more space the better. If you are trying to work out whether one of our parties will fit in your home, think about how many children will be attending the party and then imagine them standing in a circle for Hokey Pokey. If you think they would be able to make a circle in the space you are thinking of using, then it's big enough.

Can the party be in the backyard or outside?

Yes, we can do the party outside if there is power supply. As long as there is the ability for us to run a power extension out to the party location we can absolutely do the show outdoors. However, the equipment that we use can not be used in direct sunlight and must be protected in case of rain, no matter how unlikely that may look to be on the day. Even if there is just a temporary awning put up, that's fine.

We do also mention that relying on an outdoor space can be risky with the weather. We recommend always having a back-up indoor location that can be used in the event of rain. Cancellations for weather will result in us having to charge the full amount for the party if an alternate indoor location isn't available.

What if I don't have enough room at home?

If you don't have enough space at home then there are a number of community, church and scout halls around that can be hired quite cheaply. If you are having trouble finding something appropriate in your area you can try calling us. Given the huge number of parties we have hosted we may know of a good hall near you.

We have also done a number of events in restaurants and cafes in the past. These can be very successful events however do keep in mind that a disco party can be quite loud. If you would be sharing a venue with other patrons, then you might want to consider an alternate location.

What ages do you cater for?

Disco parties are ideally suited to children aged 5 to 10 years. If the children are younger than 5 then the lights and loud music can be a bit scary for them. Children older than 10 can find some of the games and competitions a bit daggy. That said, School and Pre-school events are a bit different. When younger children are in a familiar environment with other children they know, then they can have a lot of fun. Older children attending a School disco will generally interact more with the show as the larger peer-group makes the event a very different experience.

Slime parties are specifically focused at children between the ages of 7 to 13 years. These parties are very physical and generally require a bit more dexterity than most children under the age of 7 can manage. Even if you think your child would probably be able to manage, many of their friends would probably find it a little hard.

Do you come to my area?

We travel to most areas surrounding Sydney. If you live in an area that would require a longer traveling time, then we are still happy to come out to see you, but we may need to charge an additional travel fee to cover our petrol costs. This map shows the areas that we go to without charging any additional fees. If you live outside the circle shown on the map, then call us to ask about what additional costs may apply.

What do I need to supply?

We need you to supply us with a power point and a small table. Otherwise we will be bringing all the disco equipment, lights and prizes for the party. You will need to supply drinks for the children, as all the dancing will make them thirsty, and some food is a good idea as well.

Keep in mind, we are not a child minding service. We are entertainers who are there to give your kids a good time. It is hard for the party hosts to be both the kid's "fun-new-friend" and person who enforces discipline. The best parties have participation from the parents as it helps keep the children a little less over-excited by the show.

Is there anything I should not supply?

We ask that you don't provide the children with any noise-making party favours. Trust us we are loud enough! We also ask that you not give any party poppers to the children. We have unfortunately witnessed some narrowly averted accidents with party poppers so we prefer not to have any at our events.

How many kids can I have at the event?

This varies depending on the type of event you have booked...

Extreme Disco Party - The prices quoted on our website are for up to 30 children. If you go over 30 by one or two children then we generally aren't too concerned. If you have more than about 34 children participating in the disco then we charge an additional $5.00 per child over the 30. In some cases, if you are having a larger group attending the party, then it may be worth booking the party as a "School" disco package. The prices quoted for the school events are for an unlimited number of children.

We don't count younger or older siblings or children who aren't participating in the party. Don't worry, we aren't going to charge you for the newborn in the bassinette by the door!

School Disco - The prices quoted on our website are for an unlimited number of children. If you are a large school then we often recommend breaking the event into different sections so that the younger children are separated from the older ones, but this is purely because the different kids enjoy different music and entertainment as part of the show.

Pre-Schools - The prices quoted on our website are for an unlimited number of children, but we do recommend keeping the numbers to a maximum of 50. With children of this younger age it is a better show if we don't have too many children otherwise it can be difficult to explain some of the concepts of the games to them.

Slime Parties - Due to the nature of the Slime parties we recommend having no fewer than 12 and no more than 24 children participating. If you have more than 24 guests then we will need to arrange a quote for you and we need to know well in advance (at least 10 days) so that we can prepare additional equipment and supplies.

How can I pay?

Once you have placed a booking with us we will then e-mail you an invoice for the event. When you receive the e-mail you then have 7 days to pay a $100 deposit to secure your booking. This payment can be made by cheque or direct deposit. The balance of the money owing is then paid in cash to the party host on the day of the event.

Do you do adult parties?

The short answer is no. We specialise specifically in entertainment for children between the ages of 5-10 years. That said, if you offer us an obscene amount of money, we might think about it.

Have you heard about the word?

Yes, we have heard that the Bird is the Word.
