4 Cool sleepover party ideas for kids in Bristol and surrounding area

1. Starry Skies Sleepovers

This company was my first introduction to the fact these festival tent-style sleepovers parties in Bristol even existed! I spotted them on Facebook and they looked utterly delightful.

Nicola, the owner of Starry Skies Sleepovers, was inspired to start her business by her three girls’ love of slumber parties and I can see why with Nicola in charge! Her sleepover party packages include starry or camo-themed tents (the latter includes log effect cushions to make a fake camp fire!), cosy bedding, fairy lights, scatter cushions, lanterns, decorative garlands, a star or planet projector and a lightbox to personalise the birthday child’s name.

Each kiddo can get snuggly in a sleeping bag before discovering what lies in wait for them on the wooden midnight feast-laden breakfast tray at the end of their bed. You can also add on extras to make the party even more spandangly and lovely. Choose from a Spa Basket (£7.50 each), Vintage Double Dispenser (£15), Pass the Parcel (£8), Board Games Box (£10), personalised Sleepover T Shirts and more! There’s even a cake menu on her site to help make the whole party hassle free.

Prices: BFF Package – 2 Tent Package £70, 4 Tent Package £120, 6 Tent Package £160, 8 Tent Package £199, Extra Tents £25 each. *Free Delivery, set up within 12 mile radius of BS31, styling in your home and pack away the following day.

2. Sleepunder Bristol & North Somerset

Heidi and her Sleepunder Bristol business have all kinds of tent colours for boys and girls’ sleepover parties in Bristol and surrounding area. You can customise the theme to your kiddo’s preferences with bunting, camouflage fabric, bright colours and gift bags and Heidi and her partner will come and set everything up before returning the next day to clear it all away!

Each tent comes with its own blowup bed and bedding, soft furry blanket and pillow, plus scatter cushions and twinkly fairy lights for pretty-fying purposes. Beds are personalised with kids’ names and other trinkets – our girls went bananas for the furry unicorn sleep masks which lay waiting for them at bedtime. The pièce de résistance though – in my opinion – was the ‘campfire’! Pretend of course, but a magical little touch. Each tent also gets a breakfast tray loaded up with a (battery-powered) tealight lantern and dream bag of midnight feast-style goodies – think hot choccie, marshmallow, sweeties and a special cinema popcorn box.

Prices: £160 for 4 children, £20 for each additional child. Check their website for special offers.

3. Cotton and Canvas Parties

If you’re naturally drawn to bright colours, stylish kids’ corners, gorgeous interiors and general party sparkliness, be sure to check out Cotton and Canvas (and their dreamy pics on Instagram). Jenny’s childrens’ glamping party set-ups are mesmerising – all sequin bunting, rainbow brights and neon love. She also offers indoor sleepover tents in Bath, Bristol, Wells and surrounding area.

Parties are all bespoke, just let Jenny know your youngster’s chosen theme and she’ll come back with something utterly charming – from a chic woodland get-up (with leaf garlands, animal character and log cushions), to sparkles and rainbows (with pom pom bunting and confetti balloons) and even an imaginative Minecraft affair! All come with creative, personalised touches to make your kiddo’s party extra amazing.

Cotton and Canvas parties can also set kids corners at weddings in collaboration with The Wedding Sitting Company. Contact them directly for price information.
