Hi Emma. You can hire Harvey Street community centre or Immanuel Church parish hall for functions. These are both in Oswaldtwistle. You didn't say which town you've moved to. My children went to a birthday party recently and the magician there was excellent. His name is Ricardo and he has been doing his job for 35 years.
He even has a real rabbit which the children loved! :D

sorry.. didnt think.. i moved to accy... thanx, thats great

Re: new to the area
 

Sorry I don't have any contact details for Ricardo but he is a local man and I would think his number would be in the Yellow Pages.:)

Re: new to the area
 

found him in yellow pages, thanx. will ive him a ring as soon as i have found a hall.

Oh my goodness Lilly, is he still around. I had him for my son's 4/5th Birthday party (20 years ago) and yes, very good; there were times that he reminded me of the character from Hidi Hi (sp) who was the Childrens' Entertainer and didn't like children at all LOL. No, don't let me put you off enamum .. he is just the correct level for 6 year olds. Does he still do the balloon art ? Bet it isn't the same white rabbit though ... :D

Sure you will find a hall, lots of churches lend a room and, of course, the Working Men's Clubs (depends how many you are inviting). Noticed this week in the Observer a couple of children's parties were held at local nurseries and one at the Burnley Road Bowling Club.

does anyone know where the roman catholic church is? i am near the centre of accy... thanx....

Re: new to the area
 

St Annes is on Cobham Road and St Josephs is off Queens Road.

Re: new to the area
 

lol... my son goes to st Annes and st Josephs so which church are we supposed to go to??

Re: new to the area
 

School would be able to tell you that, think it depends just where abouts in Accy you are.

Little treasures on Victoria street does parties. Its a indoor soft play area with big bouncy castle and climbing frame/ball pit etc.

Siobhan loves it there.

Re: new to the area

just to update everyone who helped... i finally managed to find a hall 4 the party. I looked at two search engines and both gave me the same wrong number for hippings vale, i then rang 118 118 who gave me a different wrong number..... finally i called the council and asked if they had any where i could hire, they didnt but the lovely lady i spoke to took my name and phone number, asked her collegues 4 help and called me back with the right number...... i have a little boy who is going to be very bery happy.... thankyou to everyone who left replies..:not_ripe:
