“We’ve just got home from Max’s party at Worsley woods and I wanted to email to say how fantastic it was. Mike and Dom were brilliant and all the boys were raving about what an “epic party” it was, a few of them said they were sad as they wanted it to last longer. We will definitely be booking more parties with you in the future, it was so stress free and the boys all had the most amazing time.
Thank you so, so much!”
Beth Thornley, mum to Max, 8
“I don’t know how to write this post without sounding like I’m gushing but my son and his 2 friends had their joint 8th birthday party today with Paul and his team and I can honestly say that it was the best party any of them have ever been to – despite the wind and rain! 24 very excitable and loud 8 year old boys is no mean feat but Paul and his colleague were brilliant and had them all completely entertained to the point that they all complained that they had to go home! Since we got home we’ve all had messages saying it was the best party ever – I’d highly recommend booking them for parties. They even supplied the parents with a shelter and unlimited cuppas! Worth every penny and more!”
Esther Seymour-Shaw, mum to Smith, 8
“We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at We Are Adventurers for Emma and Annabel’s party on 10 June.
The girls and their friends all had an amazing time and, as parents, we were really grateful for all the effort the team put in, especially with our slightly unusual ‘bog baby theme’ request!
We won’t hesitate in recommending you to friends.”
Wendy, mum to Annabel, 6
“Just wanted to feedback that I was over the moon at the success of Reubens party. Children and parents loved it.”

“Oscar really enjoyed his week and is planning a winter birthday party in the forest. He loved getting muddy, was really proud of his creations (kazoo, pendant, lantern), got a kick out of doing had fun building dens, ‘dangerous’ things like sawing and toasting marshmallows on the fire.”
Helen Bridgstock, mum to Oscar, 6
We Are Adventurers ran a forest school session for 90 Year 1 children across a three day period at St Hughes School in Timperly April 2013.
“The children (and staff!) thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Paul has a lovely manner which the children really warmed to.
“The activities were really stimulating and exciting and all the children without exception thoroughly engaged in them and enjoyed them.”
Our activities
“We started off the session with a lovely “getting to know you” session. Paul asked the children to think of an animal that began with the same letter as their name. The children loved this so did their teachers! (We were very impressed that phonics was included in the first couple of minutes!)
“The rope activity was brilliant for PSE and it was lovely to see those children who sometimes hold back in the classroom engaging so freely.”
Fairies and Elves
“The children just loved this! It was lovely to see their faces as they listened to the story the magic fairy string, the mysterious Sneezy the dragon and the Fairy Village.
“All of the activities involved the children using a huge range of skills right across the curriculum. It was particularly interesting to listen to the children describing their fairy houses. It really triggered their imaginations. They worked brilliantly together in their little groups.
“As teachers, we were particularly pleased with the opportunities for follow up work which the initial session had provided. Their writing involved a recount of their session as well as writing instructions for making the fairy bracelets. We also did an excellent character description of the dragon. In independent activities during continuous provision, they made little maps of the village and drew plans of weird and wonderful things to catch the dragon!
“To conclude, it was a really exciting experience for the children and staff which provided the children with a whole range of learning experiences.”
Deputy head teacher, Anne-Marie McDowel, St Hughes School, Timperly
“We struggle to get Easton to leave Paul’s camps because he’s having so much fun. With so many holiday clubs offering a variety on the same theme, there’s nothing else like this out there.” Caroline, Didsbury
“Building a fire was really cool. But jumping out a tree on a zip wire was the best!” Easton, 6, Didsbury

“Hello! Just wanted to say a massive thank you for hosting Luke’s Party yesterday. The instructors were amazing! Really friendly and helpful. Luke and his friends has a fabulous time and it was lovely to see them experience the joys of the outdoors and doing things that kids really miss out on these days. And the bug/nettle tasting went down a treat.”

“Thank you very much for a fabulous and fantastic party! Alex and his friends totally loved it. I think mud, sticks, fire, marshmallows and lots and lots of fun totally sums it up. A birthday adventure and a half! Thanks again.”

My little boy, Jacob age 4, has been on a school trip today with his class from Staining primary school, they went to Stanley park. He has not stopped talking about his adventure day since I picked him up at 3pm. He has taken a massive shine to somebody called Tom? We honestly haven’t had one sentence without the name Tom in it this evening – this is so lovely for me to hear as my little boy is very shy and takes a while to feel comfortable with people, but he absolutely thinks the world of Tom. He excitedly told me how he chose Tom in the duck, duck, goose game & he couldn’t stop laughing when he was telling me all about it! He’s had a truly fantastic day! Thanks so much to Tom for making my little boy so so happy today. Xxxx
Tina Child, mum to Jacob, 4
“Just wanted to say thank you so much for hosting a brilliant party! I have heard brilliant feedback!”
Kathryn Yates, mum to Oliver, 5
“Hello, we celebrated our daughter’s eighth birthday on Saturday with ” We are Adventurers”. We just want to say what an amazing time everyone had.
The children absolutely loved getting dirty, hiding in the woods, tracking each other and toasting ( vegetarian) marshmallows on the campfire that the birthday girl lit.
Mike and Matt were brilliant at leading the party. They made sure every child had a great time, but that my daughter felt special. They also kept everyone safe.
Following the party I had numerous text messages from other parents telling me how much fun their children had had. One child told his mum ” Bess’ party was the best party ever!”
My daughter and her brother ( who is 5) had the time of their lives. We shall definitely be booking again. Hopefully for our son’s sixth birthday next Easter.
Thank you so much for such a great experience.”
Janet and Dan, parents to Bess, 8
“The general feedback from the day was that the Green End staff enjoyed being outdoors and found the morning really useful and full of ideas/games to use with children outdoors. The safety aspects were also really well covered and gave us some good ideas about kit that we need to have access to to use the outdoors successfully.”
Eve Kimber, Green End Primary School, Burnage
“Thank you for an amazing party! Everyone was very impressed as it was so different to the usual party entertainer/ softplay/ football ones that are the norm.”
Gemma Morgan-Lees, mum to Cameron, 5
“Thanks you again for the fab week he had with you last week. I would like to know if you would have a spare space for him on Thursday & Friday?”

“Just wanted to say a big thank you for today Paul! It was amazing party! Harry had a fabulous time as did all this little friends!”
Beth Stokes, mum to Harry, 5
We would just like to say how thankful we are to you and Paul for your efforts and the party as a whole this afternoon. Alina and Zak had a wonderful time and are completely exhausted as a result! They loved every bit of the party, from the den-building, to the tightrope-walking, to the assault course, the campfire and toasting marshmallows over it.
Alina has wanted a superhero-themed party for such a long time, and your outdoor training camp provided the perfect set up for that. Thankfully the weather held and everyone had a great time in the mud! We had such a fantastic response from all of the parents who attended, only positive things to say. I think initially they had been uncertain about an outdoor party in the middle of Winter, but afterwards they were all very impressed.
Hugh & Aneta, parents to Alina, 6
“Thanks for Saturday, all the kids seemed to have a great time and we didn’t lose any which is always a bonus(!)”
