Exactly what we wanted for our sons birthday
Thank you so much, Sam and his friends had a great time, even the adults were raving about it. Dolly was amazing with the kids.
Exactly as wanted
Excellent communication helped me pick Living Things from initial suppliers. The party was exactly as we had discussed for a 5 year old all class party. He loves animals so loved the whole experience and the presenter held the attention for the 1 hour. Thanks for supplying this party
Such a brilliant time 10/10!
Dolly was lovely, the whole service was communicative, relaxed and exactly as they said. Adults and kids had a brilliant time, was just the right length, kids were engaged and adults had fun too. Direct quote from a guest 'this was the best party i've ever been to'. Birthday boy felt special and Dolly was great at managing the kids. A very special birthday party. Thanks Living Things, Dolly and the animals!
So fun!
Tasha was fantastic! It’s hard to keep 30 four and five year olds engaged for an hour but they were absolutely enthralled. Would highly recommend!
Wonderful, engaging party!
Amye did a wonderful job engaging a large group of 7-10 year olds. The kids enjoyed it so much and learned a lot at the same time. Would highly recommend Living Things!
