Issue 16

In our May/June 2008 issue the focus is on children’s parties

With over 60 venues, businesses and suppliers listed, our Ultimate Parents’ Party Bible is sure to help your party go with a bang! And, as ever, our what’s on section is the best local events guide for parents you can find…

  • Party time!

    Ever spent weeks planning a party to find that, on the day, all the children have come down with chicken pox or that the fish paste sandwiches should have been eaten six months ago? Well, you are not alone. Read about Solent East readers’ party disasters and realise that maybe yours didn’t go so badly!

  • Children’s Party Directory: The Ultimate Parents’ Party Bible

    We know how stressful it can be organising your children’s party so we have put together a directory of venues, entertainers, organisers and suppliers to make it that much easier. With a few special offers scattered through the directory, this truly is your Party Bible.
