BIRTHDAY PARTY GIVEAWAY 🎈

Since taking over Hoodles five years ago, our family has always believed that the best memories are made through play.

There’s nothing we love more than seeing children laugh, explore, use their imaginations and leave exhausted after a day full of fun. One of the best compliments we hear from parents is that their kids never want to leave, and we still love hearing it.

As parents ourselves, we also know how stressful organising birthday parties can be. That’s why we’ve worked hard to create party experiences where families can genuinely relax and enjoy the celebration while our team takes care of everything.

From the moment guests arrive until the final slice of cake is served, our brilliant party hosts lead the fun so parents can focus on making memories.

To celebrate 10 years of my Hoodles journey and five amazing years of family ownership, we’re giving away:

🎉 A FREE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR UP TO 15 CHILDREN (food included for the children too) 🎉

Thank you for allowing our family to be part of your family’s birthdays, celebrations and milestones over the years — we truly appreciate every single visit and look forward to making many more memories together.

CELEBRATING 5 YEARS AS A FAMILY BUSINESS 🎉

Five years ago, our family took over Hoodles with one simple goal — to create a space where everyone feels welcome.

Since then, we’ve worked incredibly hard to make Hoodles more than just a play centre. We wanted it to become a place where families, friends and the wider community could come together to eat, meet, relax and make memories.

Our coffee shop has become a destination in its own right, whether it’s for a quiet breakfast, a catch-up over lunch, or one of our much-loved home bakes. Because it sits separately from the Playbarn, it’s somewhere everyone can enjoy, with or without little ones in tow.

As business owners, one of the things we’re most proud of is the amazing team who work alongside us every day. Many of them have been part of the Hoodles journey for years, and together we’ve built something that truly feels like family.

To celebrate five wonderful years of family ownership, and to thank our loyal customers for continuing to support local, we’re giving away lunch on us for 4 people!

TO ENTER: Tag the people you'd bring to a free lunch!

Your support means the world to our family and our team, thank you for being part of the Hoodles story.

10 YEARS AT HOODLES — AND COFFEE IS ON US!

It’s hard to believe that this week marks 10 years since I first walked through the doors at Hoodles.

What started as a job quickly became a passion, and five years ago, our family had the incredible opportunity to take over the business and continue building something truly special for local families.

Over the last decade, I’ve worked in every corner of Hoodles, from the coffee shop and parties to cleaning, baking and everything in between. That hands-on approach still shapes how we run the business today, because as a family business, we genuinely care about every customer who walks through the door.

Our goal has always been simple: to create a place where parents and carers can relax while children play, explore and have fun in a safe and welcoming environment.

The support we’ve received from this community over the years has meant absolutely everything to us, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without you.

So, to celebrate this milestone and to say thank you for being part of our journey…

THE PRIZE:

☕ FREE COFFEE FOR THE REST OF 2026 ☕

TO ENTER:

Tag the person you’d love to share a coffee date with at Hoodles.

Thank you for supporting our family business over the last 10 years, here’s to many more memories together.

Christine 💙

Party mum review:

Fantastic party hosts. Great setup and smooth running. Many of the guests hadn't been before/to a party here, everyone was very impressed and many of the children have already asked their parents to have their next party here. You have a great team and a great thing here. Thank you for making my daughters day super fun and full of great memories
