We take the pressure out of kid's parties. Treat yourself (and them) to our amazing sleepover package
Blanket Fort are creative party architects who have been making Newcastle sleepover parties easy and gorgeous since 2017. Indoor glamping for kids and teens (and sometimes the Mums!). Picnics, party theming, backdrops, balloon garlands and our signature ‘Blanket Flicks’ outdoor lawn cinema are also available. We create awesome, modern and stylish pop-up party spaces that land in your home for ‘one
-night-only’ occasions… and then pack it all away for you the next day. We are a registered, insured, full-time, tax-paying small business (no Facebook marketplace for us!). Proudly owned by Newcastle locals and creative creatures Rebecca and Michael Edwards - we look forward to bringing some magic to your next event.

The Rookie… palm trees, cops, crime scenes and romantic tension (hello, Chenford)… by request, we attempted to make this into a sleepover for Charlotte’s birthday and the feedback was “it looks SO much better than I imagined!”
We’ll take it 👮 🏆 ✔️

Want to add a few extra special details of your own to our sleepover beds? Go for it!
Saskia’s Mum put together the most beautiful pamper trays for the guests- so many cool goodies including sunglasses that she bedazzled herself!
We tucked our usual items with some extra special cherry tag details around her carefully arranged treats. (So stoked to find another use for this never ending ball of green raffia I have lying around… tada, 🍒 stems!)

A touch of yellow for birthday girl Cami brightening up this rainy weekend. 🌼 Yellow is associated with sunshine, hope, laughter, warmth, happiness, and energy, and has found to make a person feel spontaneous and happy…. Excellent favourite colour choice Miss Cami!

On a sun gilded lawn next to a storybook tree, we setup a ‘Hobbit’ themed party table for Charlie’s 18th.

(3) life, love, family & friends are worthy of celebration and

We build & design joyful & memorable parties for the young & young at heart.
We are a wife & hubs team from Newcastle who build, sew, graphic design, organise and create (and laugh a lot along the way)
SLEEPOVER PARTIES
Our ‘blanket fort’ is an awesome, modern and cosy pop-up party space where every child has their own gorgeous tent and bed to sleep in. It lands in your home for the ultimate one-night-only indoor glamping experience.
Let us do the fussing and crafting, checking it fits, building, decorating, packing down and even vacuuming for you. Fully insured and professionally laundered too - ensuring peace of mind for your event.
We love the opportunity for face-to-face bonding that sleepover parties create for kids, the childhood memories made at our events, and the relief on our clients faces when we finish packing down and they see a clean empty room ready-to-go (no Sunday afternoon laundry here!)
