Whilst it’s true most children will be happy to spend their birthday party running around in a sugar-induced high till they fall over, some may also find joy in more focused activity, aligned with their own unique interests and hobbies.
Customising your kid’s party can pay dividends if you get it right, and a happy birthday boy or girl means a happy mum too.
Providing parties to suit all manner of tastes is a growing trend that many businesses have recognised, so whether you’ve got a budding Picasso, or a Mick Fanning fanatic, the Shire has you covered.
