Birthday parties for kids and teens

Be the main character

Every young person deserves to feel like a hero on their birthday. We specialise in birthday parties that put your child or teen at the heart of their favourite stories.

Will they be an army commander, leading their platoon into the wilderness on a secret mission? Or a brave princess, helping their friends defeat naughty goblins with bows and arrows? Or the leader of a rabble of wild Vikings marauding through the woods?

The centre is in Bures, between Colchester and Sudbury. If you’ve landed here, please feel free to browse the rest of the website to find out more about us!

Experienced party leaders

White Dragon Activity Centre has been providing amazing birthday parties for kids aged 7 to 16+ for over ten years. All our coaches are DBS-checked, thoroughly trained and experienced in providing all the activities we offer. We pride ourselves on inclusivity and making sure every child has a great time.

Really cool settings

Our party venue is like no other. Indoors, you’ll be in a castle-themed hall, where secret snug hideaways flicker with torchlight and the walls are home to pixies and mysterious critters. Outdoors, you’ll be in a stunningly secluded, beautiful woodland with cosy campfire areas and plenty to explore.

Time for snacks

You’ll always do more than one activity, so nobody gets bored, and a break for snacks and drinks is built into all our parties. An area will be set aside for your party to relax, either round the campfire outdoors or round a long table in the “castle” indoors.
