Birthday Parties

Planning a birthday party for someone special? Consider hosting a fun-packed event at The Gordon Brown Centre with friends and family.

Themes
American Indian
Imagine you are a Native American Indian! Make yourself an Indian headdress and put on your warpaint in one of the centre’s tipis, then choose to either build a shelter of your own in the adjacent woodland or make a dreamcatcher to ensure a good night’s sleep!
Safari Expedition
Come to the centre prepared to explore. Follow a trail to an area in the centre grounds where you can investigate some wildlife and make a record of what you’ve found. Then come and meet some not-so wild animals who make the centre their home.
Teamwork Challenge
Prepare to put your best foot forward and challenge yourself to build a team that can successfully
complete both the assault course style 'trim trail' and the low ropes course. This is a fun packed
party designed to burn some energy and encourages teamwork skills.
Artistic Adventure
Unleash your creative side whilst exploring the centre. Visit the woods to make a bark and leaf rubbing to take home, complete a colour dab on the field, and then choose to make one of the following: dreamcatcher, Mexican eye, memory stick.
Lost in the Woods!
Disaster has struck and your group has lost its way. Can you navigate yourselves blindfolded along the vine trail and then build a shelter to help you survive the night?
Sensory Sensation
Explore the centre on a wander round the grounds whilst doing a selection of short activities designed to stimulate the senses and see the world in a whole new way!
Wildlife Wander
Take a stroll around the centre looking out for signs of wildlife, hunt for some bugs and then make the birds in your garden a cake of their own!
A Problem to Solve
Can your group solve some problems such as crossing a swamp and rescuing your first aid kid in order to survive? If you can, reward yourselves by either tackling the trim trail or the low ropes!
