Well where do I start? I’m Karen and my husband, Gareth and I, are the owners of ‘Swindon Party Warehouse’ in 2005 and fed up with our ‘normal’ jobs we wanted a new venture so we brought ourselves a mobile disco…..don’t know why but it seemed like a good idea at the time! Neither of us had any experience of operating a disco but with the help of Google, Gareth managed to work it out and became a good DJ (well I would be bias!) At the time we were proud parents to 3 children so we certainly had an insight into children’s parties.

I would often end up volunteering to help out at their friends parties and after watching the parents rushing around to ensure that everyone was fed, watered and having a good time I quickly realised that the birthday child’s parents were lucky if they even got to take a photo of their child, let alone enjoy the experience with them.

This is where my mind went into overdrive and I decided that I wanted to create a venue that could offer a stress free party for the parent but a personal memorable experience for the child. But we needed to learn to crawl before we walked, so we started offering mobile children’s parties, where the party was controlled by me. Our first few bookings were certainly learning experiences. I remember sitting down and writing out a script of what I was going to say, how long I needed for each song and I even tried to estimate how long it would take 25 children to play pass the parcel! After a while though we were in the swing of it and was confident enough to start offering school disco’s.

We quickly built up a good clientele of schools across Wiltshire who would book us for their end of term disco’s.

Throughout all of this my dream remained the same, to set up my own venue. So after 4 years we decided to embark on our next venture, to find ourselves premises and boy was that fun (sarcasm!) After many failed planning applications and pregnant with our fourth child we decided enough was enough but by chance we discovered BSS house in Cheney Manor Ind Estate. They were happy to offer us a unit. After 8 weeks of very hard work and many late nights we had created ‘Little London’. An exclusive themed party venue for 5 to 11 years olds. ‘Party Warehouse’ has an art and craft room, a boutique, a candy stall, a bakery and our own rainforest cafe. Children take part in many activities from icing cakes to making keyring’s.

We provide a stress free party. All you need to bring is a birthday cake and your child!

In March 2014 we opened Toddler Town, a make believe role play town for ages 1 to 4 years. Toddler Town had a vets, a hospital, a construction site & a castle to name a few. Toddler Town also offered an exclusive venue to host parties from and due to its popularity we also offered ‘stay and play’ sessions.   We offered Princess, Spiderman and other TV character packages. Unfortunately we had to close this unit in 2023 after a long battle with trying to revive the unit after the loss of a lot of our regulars from COVID 19

During 2015 we have launched many different themed parties from Minion to Frozen and Star Wars to Sleepovers. We are confident that if you give us a theme we can design a party to suit! This means your child’s party will be as unique and individual as they are! We have also sourced a fantastic team of princesses and mascots to add a magical touch to your party

During September 2015 we  opened our third unit…. COMBAT ZONE. An action packed venue with ‘nerf’ guns on the menu! Unfortunately this party room had to close in October 2021 due to COVID 19

In May 2019 we moved our very first unit to a larger unit just across the corridor. We now have a larger parents area, tea and coffee bar for the adults, more professional rooms for the children to do their activities, a professional disco and dance floor and a larger food room.

We have also gained a nice little room upstairs for 6 girls to have a fantastic pamper session. 21 years on are we are still going strong. We offer a wide range of packages from 5-13 years and all you have to do is bring a cake…..
