How to Host a Childrens Cinema birthday party
Let's concentrate on cinema birthday parties; here are 7 ideas for planning the ultimate cinema marquee party!
A movie birthday party is an excellent choice for a child on the cusp of their tween years. As they outgrow treasure hunts and other playful games, yet are not quite ready for sleepovers, a movie party strikes the perfect balance. What makes it appealing is the minimal effort required to organize and the easy cleanup afterward. As a provider of garden cinema hire, we have hosted numerous movie-themed parties, we've gathered 11 delightful ideas to make your child's celebration truly special!
Sing-alongs and dances
One of our favourite cinema party ideas is Sing along and dance parties! Young children love music and movement. Have a dance party, sing nursery rhymes, or even play freeze dance.
Is there a budding Adele or Drake in your midst? A karaoke birthday party can be the perfect way for the young ones to showcase some talent. An idea we have used before is crafting personalized invitations featuring their favorite song to set the stage for a musical celebration.
Utilize the karaoke app on the firestick we provide or curate a playlist on Spotify, allowing the kids to revel in singing along to their cherished tunes and creating lasting memories. Through our studio- quality soundsystems and wide projectors, this will be the best karoke party you have ever been to !
Not to suggest karoke is just an activity for the children! It’s also a perfetably good reason to get all the adults together later after the childrens party.
We have also provided parties with interactive games such as “just dance'“ linked up to the big screen through games consoles (which we can also provide)
2. Craft activities
Lift the excitement of your children's cinema birthday party by incorporating engaging arts and crafts activities tailored for 5-year-olds. Transform your space into a vibrant creative zone where young imaginations can run wild. Set up a delightful painting station, complete with a spectrum of colors and various canvas sizes, allowing the little artists to express themselves freely.
Additionally, offer coloring sheets featuring beloved characters or thematic designs related to the chosen movie. Encourage the children to unleash their creativity with crayons, markers, and colored pencils. For an extra touch of magic, provide materials for them to decorate their own crowns or tiaras, enhancing the celebratory atmosphere.
Utilize the cinema screens to display crafting instructions sourced from kid-friendly channels on platforms like YouTube, ensuring that each child can follow along easily. This blend of cinematic enchantment and hands-on creativity guarantees a birthday celebration filled with joy, laughter, and cherished masterpieces.

4. Themed Parties
Selecting the perfect theme for your child's birthday party is a pivotal step in ensuring they have the most memorable experience. To avoid diving into the wrong theme, start by narrowing down your kid's birthday party ideas with a simple yet effective strategy: ask them directly. Pose questions such as "What type of party would you want to have?" to get insights into their preferences. Our marquees can be customised so easily, that the possibilities are endless of what can go on inside the venue. Below is a video of a customer who tranformed his bell tent space into a Harry Potter themed party for his children.

For younger children, especially toddlers, delve into their favorite characters from shows or movies by asking, "Who's your favorite character?" or "What's your favorite movie or show?" This direct approach not only helps you tailor the celebration to their interests but also ensures that the chosen theme resonates with them, making the birthday festivities uniquely special and enjoyable for your little one. The possobilites are endless, how far will your imagination stretch?
5. Back garden camping party
The essence of our cinema packages is to create a back garden camping party blended with the cinema experience. By browsing our additional extras you can have the full range of sleeping options to enjoy a night under the stars after the movie experience has ended.
We can set up the marquee like a camping site with sleeping bags (or steel frame beds and mattresses), lanterns. At the end of the night you could display a faux campfire on the screen to create a realistic camping environment. The children can gather around the screen for storytelling just before it’s time to go to sleep.
6. Gaming Extravaganza
Set up your console and favourite games, whether these be sports games, music or trivia games, your teenager will be eagerly awaiting their guest's arrival for this gig (We can also provide these if you don’t already have a gaming setup).
