We love celebrating birthdays outdoors!

A birthday party at Ambleford is a truly unique experience. Our priority is making lasting muddy memories for you and your child.

How it works

We have tried to simplify the process of getting exactly the party you want.


  1. Choose your theme
    We offer something to meet the interests of most children, whatever their age or ability. We have 6 to choose from but are happy to discuss your specific requirements.
  2. Choose the package
    We offer 3 levels of pricing to suit your budget and specific requirements.
  3. Tailor your day
    Our priority is that you get the day you want. Once you make your enquiry, we will consult with you all the way up to the big day.
  4. Party!
    On the day we will have the site and facilities ready for your arrival. You just need to turn up and make some memories.
