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.

🧚 Celebrating your birthday with those friends who feel like *magic*… Happy Birthday gorgeous Monica! They gathered (many with wings) at the bottom of the garden at a pretty pastel table setting lined with beautiful blooms for a flower crown making class run by .au. 🌸 ✂️ Many of you have asked me over the years for a flower crown florist rebecommendation and Michelle was brilliant! So friendly and organised with not just the pretty things, but the practical as well (we love an event that functions as great as it looks).

Here’s 4 things we know... (1) childhood should be simply amazing;
(2) hosting sleepover parties CAN be a stress-free process;
(3) life, love, family & friends are worthy of celebration and
(4) there’s no such thing as ‘making a fuss’ when it comes to celebrating & creating memories with the ones we love!
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!)
