Packaway Parties Reviews 

We’ve used this amazing party company twice now, and each time they’ve absolutely nailed it! For our 9-year-old’s birthday, we chose the Roald Dahl theme, and everything—from decorations to games—came beautifully packed in a box. It was pure genius. The kids were completely swept up in the storybook magic and even described it as “the best party ever.”

Their previous Harry Potter themed box was equally impressive, turning our living room into a mini Hogwarts. The attention to detail was spot-on. The sweet shop setup for party bags was a real hit, and every child left with eyes sparkling and pockets full.

Communication with the company was excellent—clear instructions, fast responses, and zero stress. They made party planning so easy and fun. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

I have just used a Harry Potter themed pack away party for my daughter’s 9th birthday party and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. From start to finish the whole process was so straightforward and Liz was so helpful and friendly, taking the stress out of the party planning for me. Everything in the pack was fabulous-the props and decorations really set the scene, the games were really fun and engaging for all of the children and the instruction folder detailing how everything worked and running order etc was so easy to follow and resulted in a smooth running, brilliantly fun, amazing party that I’m sure my daughter will remember for years to come!!

The party contents are great
The party plan was quiet helpful, though we improvised a bit we didn't exhaust all the games..
The kids really had fun.
We choose the Star Wars theme.
The Musical Force Game was our most favourite.

I will definitely Hire Parkway parties again and refer to my friends .
The Pricing is really worth it.

A fantastic concept! We hired the Star wars party package for my 9yr old son's bday and he lived it! The decorations were fantastic and really set the scene well. Unfortunately, it was unbearably hot so we had to improvise through as many games as possible. The props were great, the sweet shop was great but I would say it was a push to keep some of the 9yr olds engaged and I would say this would be a 8/9yr old suitable package at most. Otherwise no complaints, great communication and great service! Would definitely recommend particularly for younger children

We ordered the Harry Potter box for our daughter’s 8th birthday party and it was amazing! The backdrops and signs totally transformed our house. The kids LOVED the sorting hat. The games are all really well planned and helped us add a bit of structure. The monster book and sweet shop were the other big hits, they were all so excited to have a go at getting the book to open. The box arrived with plenty of time for us to familiarise ourselves with the plan and also had a full itinerary check list and box repacking instructions. Thanks so much Liz, the girls all loved it!

We had an amazing Harry Potter themed party for my daughter's 8th birthday. The party box arrived two days before the event giving us ample time to prepare and contained everything we needed to host a really fun event. The games were well thought out, age appropriate, and thoroughly enjoyed by all the kids. I highly recommend Packaway Parties and would definitely use them again!

We had a Harry Potter party for my 8 years old daughter, and was a great success. The children liked so much the game and catching the Golden Snitch was the highlight of the party. There was so many attractions: using wounds, learning spells, speaking Dobby , book of Monsters, potions... Communication with Liz was very good. I will highly recommend it

I hired the Pokemon party for my 8 year olds birthday. Major plus points was having a party plan and structure which included timings. Kids absolutely loved collecting stars after each activity for the training academy and really tied it all together. I would suggest to anyone doing one of these parties to enlist some help from friends and family to help organise the games as it can be a bit overwhelming trying to oversee 12+ kids while also setting up the next activity.
The courier delivery and pick up was seamless and communication from Liz was great throughout.

We absolutely loved the Pokemon party package for our sons 7th birthday. We had 20 children in a village hall and it worked really well, they loved the games, especially the obstacle course! It was great to receive the decorations, there were plenty and so much better to rent than buy them all! Liz was extremely organised with the party instructions which was a complete godsend! We found the courier pickup and dropoff worked really well. I really recommend upgrading to the sweet shop as it was a v popular way to end the party. The kids described it as "excellent" and we don't hesitate to recommend! Thank you Packaway Parties!

This is a really smart idea and a great way to reduce the waste that often comes with parties. Everything you could need is in the box including prizes for the games and pins to hang up decorations. My 7 year old and all his pals had a brilliant time at the party.

Absolutely brilliant service. Made hosting a party so much easier and stress-free which is quite something when 12 children are running around your house!
So much in the box and the games were very well thought out. Loved the timetable and detailed instructions and there was more than enough activities to keep everyone entertained for 2 hours. Highly recommend.

Brilliant concept and smooth execution. Lots of props and decorations to transform the space and bring the atmosphere alive. That topped with the costumes and a few spectacular games completely absorbed the kids and afterwards most of them stayed in character and continued playing using their own imagination in the magical world.

Absolutely brilliant party idea, thank you so much to Packaway Parties for a memorable addition to my daughter’s 9th birthday party. The kids all loved the sweet shop and it was really easy to organise with Liz.

Fantastic idea, they've thought of everything and it's organised so well, so that for busy parents you just open it up, follow the instructions, enjoy and pack it away again! No timely planning, organising, purchasing everything individually. We'll definitely be using them again. Everyone commented on how great the decorations and games were, with the added extras making it more enjoyable and special.

An absolutely brilliant concept for a party! The crate full of decorations, games, equipment, Lego, figures, tableware, instructions, party bags and contents was more than we could have possibly imagined! The children had a fantastic time creating, and the games that we did were engaging and fun. Hugely impressed and grateful to Liz for her prompt communication along the way, and for giving our son a party to remember!

The party was a big success—thank you! The kids had a fantastic time, and the activities kept them engaged throughout. The package was well put together and made hosting much easier. The contents were great, and everything was clearly labeled and easy to use. Talking Dobby, candles that change colours and fuming couldron, huge Hogwarts castle backdrop with many many other decorations made it very popular, even with 9 year olds! The pricing was very competitive for what was included.
I would definitely consider using Packaway Party again and would happily recommend it!

Absolutely brilliant. This is the second time we've used Liz and Packaway parties. The communication and process is so seamless and smooth making the party easy to execute. Both the HP and Pokemon parties were well thought out and fun for the guests. The HP props were absolutely ace and the kids loved it. I had nothing but compliments off parents too

From the outset, Liz was responsive, helpful and importantly for us, available at short notice. The Harry Potter Party had more than enough decorations and games to keep 11 nine year olds entertained and happy for almost three hours. Not sure that that adults didn't have more fun dressing up though! Adding the sweet shop and party bags took some much needed admin off my plate and rounded the party off perfectly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

The pack was great, the kids loved the dressing up, the games and the venue looked amazing with all of the props/decorations. Overall I found it really easy to use, you do need some time to digest the pack but once I got it into my head it was very easy to understand, Liz has created a great and unique party option and I really did love it!

I hired the Harry Potter option for My son's 6th birthday which we hosted in a village hall for 20 kids. If you have a big group like this I would advise having 2 of you running it and splitting the group at certain points as I tried to do it all myself and it would have been smoother if I had another adult fully helping!

I loved not having to think about what games to have and having all of the props/decorations delivered to me, it made having an epic party affordable.

The Lego party package was very well thought out, and was organised and packed in a way to make our party preparation easy.  The instructions were easy to follow to make the games fun for the children.  The games were nicely varied to keep their interest. We could pick which games to follow to mix with the chidren doing their own thing with the enormous pile of lego!
