2. Select the Party Package
Standard Party – £ 160 - 2 ½ hours Available at Guisborough Forest only
We provide the woodland setting, one qualified practitioner, all equipment apart from personnel clothing,
a hot drink (Hot chocolate or juice) and snack (Marshmallows and Biscuits) for up to 15 children. We advise
this number as it allows for great access to the activities we provide, making the party special for those
children attending and for Health and Safety reasons.
You are asked to ensure that there is a minimum of 1 adult attending for every 5 children for H&S reasons,
we also ask that you try to encourage some parents to not attend as a maximum of 1 adult to 3 children is
recommended to ensure all attending get full access to the activities.
Deluxe Party – £185 – 3 hours Available at Guisborough Forest or Burn Wood
As for the standard party Acorn Antics will supply drinks in the form of hot chocolate, water or juice. We
will also provide: cheese and tomato pizza, hot dogs (tinned sausages to ensure cooking) bread buns and
tomato ketchup, marshmallows and biscuits. Should you wish to supply and additional items that do not
require cooking please feel free. Please also feel free to bring a cake into the woods although it is some
distance from the car park so please ensure it is easily transportable and well wrapped up, candle lighting
can be somewhat of a challenge!
We can accommodate different dietary requirements, please let us know at time of booking, an additional
charge may be required depending on the request.
3. Select the Venue
Guisborough Forest and Walkway TS14 8HD
A Public woodland owned by the Forestry Commission and Redcar and Cleveland council that we have
permission to use. There is a visitor centre with toilets, railway carriage for hire, café for parents not
attending the party or you can book a party tea package through us with them.
Burn Wood Yarm
TS16 0QQ
Fantastic private woodland perfect for a back to nature experience. A real adventure awaits no permanent
facilities so it’s a portable toilet (behind a tarpaulin) and tarpaulins for shelter. Not suitable for the under 5’s
due to the walk from the car park and no tracks within the woodland.
4. Choose your optional extras
Additional Children
We can accommodate larger groups at a cost of £15 extra per child up to a maximum of 20 children at all
venues, we need to know final numbers at least 2 days before the party.
Hire out the Railway Carriage (Guisborough Forest only) – we can arrange to book this great indoor venue
for you, to use to eat your party tea in (this you can bring yourself or book through us with the Branchway
café). £12.50 per hour.
Branchway Café Party Tea Package (Guisborough Forest only) – we can arrange for the following party
food options which you could eat in the carriage or as a picnic outside once the outdoor Acorn Antics Party
has finished. Please note due to the capacity of the café it would not be possible to eat your party tea in
the café itself. See price list .
