Outdoor Birthday Parties

Take your party outdoors with Operation Play Outdoors!

 We understand the importance of getting outdoors and being active. Why not incorporate that into your child’s next birthday party? At Operation Play Outdoors we offer both our Woodland Birthday parties and our Mobile Play Parties which can pop up in almost any outdoor venue.  With our birthday party experiences all of the children are engaged from start to finish, that’s two hours where all the children are taking part and having fun. Compare that to a bowling experience where a child bowls twice every 6 minutes with the rest of their time spent sitting waiting. This birthday experience will be far more entertaining and enjoyable so much so that parents might want to join in too, which we encourage!

Our birthday experiences are also designed to encourage children to play outdoors long after the party experience. The games they will learn and activities they will try will get them excited about being outdoors and likely cause them to revisit the games in the future with their friends.

All of our Birthday Party options run all year round all across Scotland and we have many children who return year on year because they loved it so much.

Our Birthday Party Options

#

Woodland birthday Parties

Den Building, Toasted Marshmallows and Games!

Please read through our Important Information prior to booking a birthday party.

Important Information
We have set times for Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter seasons. These times may be flexible in the event we have less bookings on one day, however that is subject to availability.

Spring and Summer Times

10am – 12pm, 1 – 3pm, 4 – 6pm

Autumn and Winter Times

10am – 12pm, 1 – 3pm

  • At least two supervising adults must be present during the party at all times.
  • We do our best to book a party at a woodland near you and have dates available at various parks throughout the year. We have permission to use several public parks and greenspaces, however in the event we don’t have enough party vacancies to meet demand we can request permission to use another park if given 6 weeks notice prior to the party. In the event your party is within 6 weeks of booking we have a smaller selection of parks to choose from which may be in another area of the city.
  • Parties are charged separately depending on which area you are in and may incur additional costs for travel. 
  • All participants must come appropriately dressed for the weather. In the event where participants are not appropriately dressed, they may not be allowed to take part in the activities. 
  • Birthday Parties run all year round and are unlikely to be cancelled unless the weather conditions are severe, this is why coming prepared for the weather is important. In the event where the weather is deemed too severe for the party to proceed the party will be re-scheduled at the earliest convenience. Please see our Severe Weather Policy for further details.
  • It is important that all participants follow Operation Play Outdoors instructions at all times during the party to ensure their safety. In the event where the behaviour or actions of an individual or group are deemed unsafe the activity may be suspended.
  • As part of all our programmes we like to teach the principles of leave no trace when you are out playing and exploring the outdoors. This simply means we like to leave the woods the way we found them or better. To teach this principle we ask all of our participants to take down their dens, pick up their litter and put out the fire to ensure the woods are put back to their original state.
  • When we meet at the start of the birthday party there is always a bit of a walk to the site. Sometimes as long as 15 min depending on what site we use. It is therefore recommended that all participants arrive at least 15 min early to allow for time to get to site. Any delays may result in activities not happening or being cut short


Mobile Play Parties

Delivered in your garden, on a beach or anywhere else we can pop up and play

 Our Mobile Play Parties offer a range of pop-up play opportunities for children of all ages and will be tailored to fit the space and age of children we’re working with. We can pop up in your garden, on a local beach, at your school playground or anywhere else really, and we’ll adapt the play to fit the space. We can deliver campfires, large group games, loose parts play, tug of war, bespoke treasure hunts and lots more. If you’ve got an idea we’ll try our best to make it happen.

Loose Parts Play Parties

Bring the magic of Loose Parts Play to your garden or private venue!

Our loose parts play parties can be delivered in two ways. You can either hire our loose parts and let the children play freely with all the equipment provided or you can book an instructor with your party to host loose parts play challenges and games. Either way this party is great fun and suited to a garden space or private venue that has a large grassy or tarmac area. We cannot deliver this party in a public park or outdoor space as there is lots of equipment that could restrict the public from accessing the space. This is our fastest growing party option and great for large groups!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@opout.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

No, apart from toasted marshmallows as part of our Woodland Parties or smores if you select this as an additional extra. 


Yes, absolutely. We can plan a break towards the middle of your party to have a snack and some cake if you'd like.  


 This is dependant on the location of your birthday party. Once you have made your booking we will send you further details of getting to and from the location as well as meeting points. Our staff are very familiar with the outdoor locations so in the event you can’t find your way we will give you a direct mobile number for the staff running your party. It is the party organisers responsibility to ensure all participants are picked up by their parent/carer. 


 Severe weather is classified as high winds, severe cold or thunder and lightning. If the forecast is for heavy rain the party will still go ahead. We encourage children to play outdoors whatever the weather as long as it is safe to do so. If a party does have to be cancelled due to severe weather we will aim to reschedule at the earliest convenience. See further details on our Severe Weather Policy above. 


This is dependent on the site we book for your party. Generally there is no access to toilets in most woodlands or there is a substantial walk, there are exceptions and we can certainly explain this further when you make an enquiry. We encourage participants to go to the toilet before the party starts to reduce the risk of needing the toilet during the session. If this is a particular worry we can speak to you about this and find a site that may have better access to toilets. 


 Adults and parents are welcome to stay on-site during the party, unfortunately we can't accommodate them taking part in the activities. If parents choose to stay this is at the discretion of the main parent who organised the party. Our focus of course is on the children and it is crucial that children get to participate freely without adults taking over.  We don’t provide seats or shelter at our parties. 


Payment is made via bank transfer to confirm your booking. We require a £50 deposit to secure the booking and then ask for the remaining balance to be paid at least 2 weeks before the date of the party. 


 Yes, of course.  You can prepare your own goody bags and bring along that’s no problem. We do offer our own goody bags for children as an optional extra, these cost £5+VAT per child.
