Your One-Stop Directory for Kids’ Birthday Parties in the UK

At My Best Birthday, we believe every child deserves a magical birthday party — and that planning it shouldn’t feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created one of the UK’s most trusted directories for children’s birthday party planning, designed to help busy parents find everything they need in one place.

Whether you’re searching for kids birthday party ideas, themes for 5-year-olds, birthday cake makers near me, or children’s party entertainers who can bring the fun, we’ve got you covered. From bouncy castle hire to balloon decorations, party bags, and more — we bring all the best local suppliers together under one roof.

The inspiration for My Best Birthday came over 15 years ago, after an unforgettable family celebration complete with a real fire engine, firefighter gear, and party music. The memories were priceless — but the planning took weeks of trawling the internet. Typing “party venues near me” into a search engine just didn’t cut it. That moment stuck with our founder, Dan Hetherington. As a time-strapped single dad at the time, he knew there had to be a faster, simpler way to plan amazing parties without losing your mind.

With over 20 years of experience in a corporate career — managing National Accounts, leading high-performing teams, and activating brand campaigns for one of the world’s biggest brands — Dan combined his strategic know-how with a personal mission: to create a smarter, more joyful way to plan birthdays across the UK.

Today, My Best Birthday helps parents across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland explore birthday party planners, local entertainers, decorators, venue hire, and more — all tailored to their area. Whether you’re throwing a garden party in Yorkshire, hiring a magician in Manchester, or looking for budget-friendly birthday party ideas in Newcastle, we’re here to help you plan less and celebrate more.

From your child’s first birthday to their biggest milestones, every unforgettable party starts here.
