Bedminster Eco Party Packs

14/04/2024

Just to confirm we are still operating and have a range of party tableware, decorations and games for hire, with the aim of reducing waste and making party preparations that bit easier! Our Standard Party Packs (containing plates, cups, bowls, jugs, serving bowls and platters, tablecloths and bunting) are hired out most weekends alongside various of our Party Games (we have Giant Jenga, Eco Pass the Parcels, Bean Bag Toss and play parachutes). It seems we get most of our bookings through recommendations and word of mouth, so thank you to everyone who has used us and recommended us to your friends! We have a number of bookings in the calendar for the coming weeks, however, if you have a party coming up and haven’t yet sourced your tableware, decorations or games, do please get in touch! It seems spring was well and truly here today and it is lovely to see photos of our party packs in the sunshine!

As a member of the Party Kit Network, we've just submitted our data to this year's big count and are really pleased with the results! Together let's continue to reuse and make single-use partyware a thing of the past!

Don’t forget, we have Eco Pass the Parcels available to hire!

With 20 different sized bags that fit inside one another and a token in the middle to be exchanged for a prize of your choice, the parcel is quick and easy to fill with space for a little surprise of your choosing in each layer. The large buttons are easy for little fingers to undo and best of all, this game avoids all of the waste associated with traditional paper versions! If you are planning a children’s party and would like to make a booking, just send us a message. A £10 deposit is required (fully refundable on return of the item) and the hire cost is just £3.

All of our Standard Party Packs have been out to parties this weekend and we are fully booked up for next weekend as well, however beyond that we still have plenty of availability for the summer, so do please get in touch if you would like to make a booking or know more about how it all works.

Thank you again to those of you who sent us these lovely pictures! It’s always nice to see how things look set up on the day! Both parties look amazing!

It’s been another busy weekend for party’s! Thanks to everyone who has used our party packs recently and to those of you who have booked ahead for parties over the coming months! For anyone who has a party coming up, if you haven’t yet sourced your party tableware, decorations or games, don’t worry, we still have some availability most weekends. So just drop us a message letting us know what you’d like to hire and when and we can see if we can help!

Did you know, 10% of all hire charges go direct to charity and our current cause is Victoria Park Primary School PTFA.

We had a busy start to the year with party bookings, followed by a period isolating due to Covid, so have just now been catching up on admin and are pleased to announce that we have just donated £30 to Victoria Park Primary School PTFA from bookings in 2021 (that’s £37.50 with gift aid!)

If you have a party coming up and are in need of party tableware, decorations or games do get in touch. Not only is it cheaper than most disposables and better for the environment, but in doing so you can also help us raise funds for the local school!

18/03/2022

We’ve had a steady stream of bookings so far this year and are pleased to see all of our Standard Party Packs, as well as several of our Party Games ready to go out to parties this weekend.

If you have a party coming up and would like to make a booking, just send us a message letting us know what you would like to hire and when and we can let you know availability. To secure a booking, all that is required up front is a £10 deposit (fully refundable on return of the items).

Items can generally be collected the evening before or morning of your event and returned the same or following evening.

Here is a photo of our bright party pack in action yesterday for the first time this year - the colours go very well with this amazing rainbow cake!

Despite being closed for the first half of 2021, we have been delighted with the number of bookings of our Pastel and Bright Party Packs, and various party games over the past 7 months since reopening! Items have been used for 40th and 70th birthdays, end of term parties, camping trips, Halloween celebrations as well as lots of children’s birthdays. The parachute and Eco Pass the Parcel have both proved really popular and we’ve had lots of complements on our lovely bunting. Thank you to everyone who has hired from us and to everyone who has supported us by liking, commenting and sharing our posts. In total we estimate that together we have saved over 1,275 items from landfill in 2021! Happy 2022!

Kids parties often involve lots of cheap, single-use plastic, but is there another way?

21/11/2021

Can you believe there are only 4 weeks left of term before the children break-up for Christmas! If you or your organisation are planning a Christmas Party, please do get in touch to hire your party pack asap to avoid disappointment. Packs are available in bright or pastel shades, which will look gorgeous alongside your Christmas decorations and each pack contains plates, tumblers, bowls, jugs, serving dishes and tablecloths for 20 people. If you are having a larger party, we have extra plates, tumblers and bowls available to add on at a small additional charge to allow you to cater for up to 30 people with the one party pack. It is also possible to hire two matching packs if you are looking to cater for even bigger groups of up to 40 guests!

We are fully booked for the weekends of 27th/28th November and 4th/5th December, but still have some availability this weekend!

This Tumbling Towers games has been out to a number of parties recently, however last weekend was quiet for bookings, so I got it out for my own children to have a play. One of the things I like about this game is how versatile it is. You can play the “proper” game of building a tower by removing bricks and replacing them on top without toppling the stack. You can also simply play and build with the blocks. In our case, one child built a castle, whilst the others made a giant domino run. The Tumbling Towers game can be hired on its own for £4 or as part of a Party Games Pack which also includes a 12ft play parachute, Eco Pass the Parcel and Bean Bag Toss game all for £10. So, if you have a party coming up and are wondering how to keep the children entertained, why not get in touch to book your party games today!

Here are some photos of the Bright Party Pack in use last weekend for Halloween. Personally I think the bright colours look wonderful alongside the pumpkins and decorations and one of the good things about these Party Packs is that they really are versatile to suit pretty much any occasion. Better still, over the last few weeks alone we have together saved another 300 items from landfill!

26/10/2021

We've been steadily busy over the past few weeks, with several more bookings coming up, but still have some availability, so if you have a party coming up, do get in touch. All you need to do is send us a message letting us know what items you would like to hire, the dates you need them, and we can confirm availability. To secure the booking a £10 deposit is required, which is fully refundable on return of the items. And don't forget 10% of all hire charges are donated to a local school PTFA.

Please also remember that you can leave a review within the “review” tab of this page. Together, over the last few weeks alone we have saved another 400 items from landfill which all helps towards making a more sustainable planet!

We are back!

If you are planning a late summer BBQ or any other form of party, please check out what we have to offer before considering disposables. You can hire a Standard Party Pack (plates, bowls, tumblers, jugs, serving bowls, platters, tablecloths and bunting) for 20 people for just £10 which works out cheaper than most disposable alternatives. We have dessert spoons (free alongside party packs). We also have a range of Party Games for hire starting from as little as £2 an item. We even offer a washing up service for a small additional charge.

For our full range of products, visit the "shop" section of our page. For additional information please read the “services” section.

19/08/2021

Pass the Parcel is a timeless classic. It’s easy to play and children love it! However, the traditional version is quite time-consuming to wrap and sees lots of paper go to waste. That’s why we offer a fabric re-fillable Pass the Parcel as a hassle-free, eco-friendly take on the classic game. With 20 different sized bags that fit inside one another and a token in the middle to be exchanged for a prize of your choice, the parcel is quick and easy to fill with space for a little surprise of your choosing in each layer. If you are planning a children’s party and would like to book one, just send us a message. A £10 deposit is required (fully refundable on return of the item) and the hire cost is just £3.

04/08/2021

We have a number of bookings in the calendar already for August and September, however, still have some party packs and games available over the coming weeks, so do get in contact if you would like to make a booking. This Standard Party Pack costs just £10 to hire and includes plates, bowls and tumblers for 20 guests, as well as tablecloths, jugs, serving platters, bowls and bunting. Hiring cuts down on waste, is cheaper than most disposable options and I must say, looks lovely in the sunshine!

20/07/2021

It's been another busy few days for party pack hires and we've just done the washing up!

We understand that part of the appeal of disposable tableware is not having to wash up at the end of the party, which is why we offer a washing up service! Check out the services section of our page to find out how it works ...

This past weekend the play parachute had another outing and I hear it was a big hit with the kids! Children’s birthday parties don’t have to be complicated or expensive and a play parachute is a perfect way to keep the children entertained. There is something about the bright colours and sheer size of the parachute that makes it instantly appealing and one of the joys of parachute games is that they are all about cooperation and team work so there is no need for prizes and nobody is out. If you would like to hire a play parachute for your next event, please send us a message. It costs just £4 to hire a 12 ft parachute and we will provide you with a list of popular parachute games and instructions for play to make the whole experience even easier.

Did you know this month is plastic free July? If you are planning a party and are tempted to buy disposable partyware, please check out what we have to offer instead.

For those of you who have only just discovered us, Bedminster Eco Party Packs is a local family run service based in South Bristol, providing reusable party tableware, decorations and games for hire as an attractive, affordable and environmentally friendly alternative to single-use plastic partyware.

A Standard Party Pack comes in a choice of colours and includes plates, tumblers, bowls, serving dishes, tablecloths and bunting for 20 people for just £10, which works out cheaper than most disposable options.

A fabric refillable Pass the Parcel costs £3 to hire and takes just 5 minutes to fill, making it a really popular eco alternative to the traditional game made of paper.
