Swimming party at Clapham Leisure Centre. You can hire the whole pool for one hour, then they give you an upstairs room for an hour for food and cake (you provide that but they clear up). We did it in the summer and it was brilliant. The kids loved it. Have a good one. x

My son is also about to turn 9! I arrange quite a few kids parties. I have all sorts of entertainers that I've found over the years. My company is called Butternut Events. How about a wildlife party? We have a great couple who come in with little racoons, meerkats, skunks, hedgehogs, plus little reptiles and bugs. Really brilliant hands on experience for the kids. We also have a bloke with snakes, centipedes, etc., but he's not available for the next two months or so due to his new baby being due! We can help with all aspects of the parties- bespoke pinatas, themed cakes, personalised in invites and decorations, etc.. I'm a local Clapham Mum. Give me a call if you want to discuss. 07788445371

Hi there, I know a company called Notorious Kids www.notoriouskids.com they do great 'Movie Mystery' parties for older kids. The children become characters in the story and have to solve a mystery, I've recently seen a Tin Tin Adventure one and a Scooby Doo one which was very popular with boys but pretty sure they can base it on any movie/story you request.

Hope that helps!

You could take the whole gang, plus your own picnic lunch (which they allow happily, although you can also buy stuff there (hot fodd & snacks, but like most venues it will be more expensive than your own nibbles), over to Craggy Island Climbing wall. There are two actually - one out near Guildford and one in Carshalton. I've climbed frequently both venues where they offer instructor led sessions (including bouncy boys' birthday parties). The Carshalton one has a large bouldering wall and a huge indoor caving system to explore. A great day out for giggles, challenges and good physical activity. Beats stuffing their little tummies with junk food and watching telly all day, and it might just ignite a new passion in your little boy!

The instructors are all qualified, insured and great with kids, whether they are confident kids or nervous ones. I've watched them in action when I have clmbed with my husband there over the years.

Whatever you choose - have a great day!

Clip and Climb just off the Fulham Road (behind Harley Davidson shop)
I was there on Saturday for a boys party and it was wonderful. Not so busy, noisy or messy as places like Gambardo.
The owners also allow you to bring in your own catering and even recommend a pizza place that delivers to the venue if you would like decent pizza.
All in all a great experience

Hi there
Sounds like you have had some great ideas already posted - but if your son is the active type, we run amazing birthday parties based on gymnastics but they can be themed according to what he likes. Your group will have full use of our gym for an hour and a half, with some of that time being spent for your birthday tea. Our fully qualified instructors look after everything for you and the gym is fully air-conditioned and has a large additional space for seating the kids and parents.
We have a few slots left before Christmas so do give us a call if you would like to find out more or visit http://www.thelittlegym.co.uk/uk-en/wan ... -parties-0
Have fun planning the party!

PS we were voted by Parenting magazine as Best Birthday Party in August 2014!

My son's friend had a go kart birthday party at the latchmere leisure centre. The kids had a fantastic time. This was brilliant.
You can view the video I made on my website and see if it is suitable for your son.
