Other Party IdeasWe can host a party for almost anything!
Previously we have held Hen Parties, Baby Showers, Leaving Dos and Team Building but this list is endless. If you have an idea that we haven’t listed, just give us a call and we can come up with something together.
Let it GLOW! Party. Why not try something a little different?
Celebrate your birthday in the glow in the dark room. Decorate your pre-chosen image on canvas with our neon paints.
The glow room is illuminated by our static UV lights, watch your colours glow as you paint your canvas. If you wear white we shall see you and it’s even better when you smile!
Once you have finished painting your canvas you can leave it to dry in the studio and collect it later in the day or on a selected day of your choice.
Once home you will have a neon masterpiece that’s bright and cheerful during the day and at night in the dark shine your UV torch (provided by us) at your image and watch it glow.
Note: Do not wear good clothes as the paint can stain (The Activity Box takes no responsibility for damage personal effects) Oversized -shirts are provided on the day.
