Birthday Parties
You can book your birthday party here. We will keep up to date with the latest government guidance regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and will contact you if there is any reason your party cannot go ahead. Please do not come to Creswell Crags if you, or anyone in your group, is showing symptoms of COVID-19.
We are excited to offer two unique birthday party packages that are perfect for children with a sense of adventure!
For children 5+
Book an Ice Age Adventure party and take your tribe back in time to the Ice Age. Explore our largest cave, build Stone Age shelters and learn how to hunt with spears in a birthday experience like no other!
For under 5s
Our Mini Mammoths party provides a range of indoor and outdoor (subject to the weather!) Ice Age games and activities, such as animal races, parachute games, charcoal wall-art, and musical mammoths.
In addition to the unique activities included with each party package, all parties include an enthusiastic party host, Stone Age dressing-up costumes for the guests, and the hire of two party rooms – one set out for a birthday feast, and one filled with a range of themed activities.
Optional extras to enhance each party include lunch-boxes, party bags, a costumed party host, and a visit from Creswell Crags’ mascot, Monty the Mammoth.

FAQs
The minimum of 12 children is related to the cost of running a party. As long as you are happy to pay for 12 children (i.e. 12 x £9.99 for an Ice Age Adventure party, or 12 x £6.99 for a Mini Mammoths party), you are welcome to bring less than 12 children.
More than 5 adults are welcome to accompany the cave tour, as long as the total number of adults and children does not exceed 30. Each additional adult shall be charged the regular tour price of £7.50, which can either be paid in person on the day, or added onto your booking cost.
The timings of the parties are to allow other parties and events to run alongside them. However, subject to availability, we may be able to accommodate alternative timings on a case-by-case basis – please contact us with a specific request.
Unfortunately we do not provide birthday cakes, but are happy to lend you a lighter to light the candles and a knife to cut any cake that you bring yourself!
