Children's party
in Dordrecht
A canteen is spacious and often free on a Saturday afternoon. We make sure it doesn't turn into an echoing hall full of running children. From €15 per child.
A party in the football club canteen
A children's party in Dordrecht in the sports club canteen is an obvious choice if the birthday child trains there every week. The space is big, the friends know the place and nothing needs clearing at home. A canteen does have its drawbacks: a hard floor, lots of echo and a bar with someone from the club behind it. In a room like that, twelve children quickly make so much noise that they can't hear the explanation any more.
So we pick a fixed corner of the canteen for explanations, with the children close together, and use the rest of the space for the tasks. If there's a pitch or strip of grass next to it, part of the party can move outside. Check with the club how long you have the space and whether anything can go on the walls. We need half an hour to set up, and that has to fit within the hire time.

Frequently asked questions
Can you work in any canteen?
Almost always. We need power, a few tables and enough space for the number of children, and a canteen usually has that. The acoustics and the hire time matter more, and we check those in advance.
Most of the friends are in the same team, is that helpful?
Teammates know each other well, so the group gets going quickly. We do spread them across different teams in the game, so the party doesn't end up feeling like a normal training session.
What if the canteen is smaller than expected?
Then we choose more seated activities and save the running around for outside. A tennis club canteen is different from a football club one, so we ask in advance how big it is.
Does a birthday party in a canteen cost more than at home?
The programme costs the same and starts at €15 per child. If the club charges for hiring the canteen, you arrange that with the club directly and it doesn't go through us.
