Festival fun with The Little Top

We speak to Susie Young, Founder of The Little Top - who will be providing festival-style fun for children at the Tylney Garden Party this Sunday 15th July,

We are so excited The Little Top are joining us for our first ever Tylney Garden Party – what can people expect?
We will be bringing all sorts of fun to make sure the smaller guests are happy and busy - from carnival pom-pom hat workshops; to flower crowns, giant bubbles, a rainbow treasure hunt, lego, fancy dress and early years toys and tunnels.
We also have our pop-up shop where we will be selling our beautiful handmade decorations and wall hangings, hula hoops, glitter tiaras, dinosaur tails and ribbon wands. Please note this is cash only!

We understand you’re bringing a festival face painter too?
Yes, our super talented festival face painter can create beautiful faces for any age - we always end up glittered by the end of the day! ( she does a mean spiderman, too...)

What else do The Little Top do?
We create and style any event you can imagine in our fabulous tents with our super team of little toppers! From our fantastic festival parties to bespoke children's sleepovers and family parties (40th's are always very popular!) - through to our spectacular wedding childcare service and corporate event packages. We even offer 'hangover childcare' onsite! Our handpicked and experienced team are all DBS checked and we work to OFSTED ratios. We create and design party plans bespoke for any event.

Sounds amazing! Can we book you for weddings at Tylney?
Yes, It's the perfect spot for a family wedding with the amazing 66-acres of places to set up treasure hunts and beach ball bowling; hold a sercret silent disco and fancy dress fashion show, while the adukts relax with a delicious cocktail - safe in the knowledge their little-ones are having the time of their lives!

Where did the idea for The Little Top come from?
I am a mother of two small tearaway boys, and after attending several weddings and family events where having them there was so tricky for them, us and other guests, I realised there was a gap in the market to keep everyone happy! I worked as a fashion designer for 15 years so love putting my styling skills to good use and make sure I stay very involved with the decor and creative ideas at each set up, so that the adults, children and venues we work with all enjoy having us there.  We add to the occasion, rather than putting the children in a separate creche. We specialise in family events where entertainment and style are both very important to our clients, and are constantly looking for inspiration!

We are about to launch our own Little Top online shop, where we will be offering our 'pop-up party' packages: a fabulous range of party, sleepover, baby shower and hen party kits - so that you can style and recreate your own Little Top party with our games, playlists, decorations, party bags and craft activities.

You'll find The Little Top team located at the Kid's Secret Garden area at the Tylney Garden Party this Sunday 15th July 2018.
