“I'm in Crawley four or five days a week. It isn't a new patch for me. It's home turf.”Kat
Crawley isn't just somewhere I cover. It's where I am four or five days every week: I work in education here, so I've spent years getting to know Crawley families, and there's a good chance I already know someone at your party.
What I love about Crawley is how much happens in its neighbourhoods. Every area has its own parade, its own community centre and its own crowd, and the parties are big, busy and brilliant fun. A long queue of excited children is exactly my kind of afternoon.
It's only about 10 minutes from my home in Horsham, so there's no travel charge anywhere in Crawley.
A Kat’s-eye guide to a Crawley party
Tilgate Park on a sunny weekend, neighbourhood community centres for rain-proof birthdays, and K2 Crawley for big sports-hall parties.
Spring birthdays, summer fun days in Goffs Park, events like Eats & Beats near Crawley, school fairs, Halloween discos and Christmas parties.
Fast, bold designs for big groups: tigers, superheroes, footballs and unicorns that keep the queue moving.

What Crawley families say
Verified on Add to Event · ★★★★★“Kat was superb! Arrived on time, easy communication, lovely service, great with the kids, nice glitter & paint art. I would definitely recommend her!”
Verified on Add to Event · ★★★★★“If you are looking for an activity 30 kids will enjoy, try this!! The amount of different face painting [Kat] did was amazing. [She] even stayed a bit longer as when planning we didn’t think every child would want it, but we were wrong! I’ve never seen so many children wanting to do the same activity. Definitely booking again & several other parents there want to do the same!”

Crawley questions
Is there a travel charge for Crawley?
No. Crawley is about 10 minutes from my home in Horsham, so there's no travel charge anywhere in the town, from Ifield and Bewbush to Three Bridges, Pound Hill and Maidenbower.
Can you handle a big class party in Crawley?
Yes. Whole-class parties are common in Crawley. For 25 or more children I'd suggest the 3-hour Ultimate Sparkle so nobody misses out.
Do you paint at Tilgate Park or Goffs Park?
Yes. I paint at outdoor parties all over Crawley; I just need a table, two chairs and a little shade.
Are you DBS checked?
Yes. I hold the same DBS clearance I need for my work in education, plus full public liability insurance.
Do you cover hen parties in Crawley too?
Absolutely. Glitter, gems and grown-up designs start from £150.
