Planning the perfect kids’ birthday party in Leicester? You’re in luck the city is full of amazing indoor kids birthday party venues Leicester that keep the fun going no matter what the weather’s up to. But here’s the thing: a great venue is just the start. With the right extras, your party can go from “nice” to “absolutely magical.”

At Balloonatics, we specialise in the fun side of parties, think luxury soft play hire, inflatable bubble domes , soft play climbing frames, and bespoke balloon décor. Let me walk you through how all this fits together and where to host it.

Top Indoor Kids Birthday Party Venues in Leicester

1. Anstey Parish Council

   If you’re looking for a spacious, modern venue that can handle a big guest list, Anstey Parish Council is a winner. It’s one of my favourites for kids’ parties in Leicester because it’s so versatil, the hall is huge, with big windows and fab natural lighting that makes the space feel bright and welcoming.

   With plenty of room for equipment, you can go all out here: from luxury soft play hire to a full soft play climbing frame, and even an inflatable bubble house for that extra wow factor. The venue also comes with a kitchen, tables and chairs, so you’ve got everything covered for food, drinks and downtime. It’s ideal for larger indoor parties where you want kids to have space to play, while parents can relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

3. Woodhouse Eves Youth Hall

If you’re planning a smaller gathering, Woodhouse Eves is a lovely choice. It’s suited to intimate parties of around 15 children maximum, making it feel cosy and personal. There’s also a small kitchen available, which is handy for prepping snacks or storing the birthday cake.

4. Tur Langton Village Hall

5. Stoneygate Baptist Church

6. Cropston Pumping Station

If you’re after something a little more unique, Cropston Pumping Station is a brilliant option. It’s a rustic and intimate venue, often chosen for christenings and baby showers, but it works just as well for children’s birthday parties if you want something a bit more personal than the usual play centre.

7. Carisbrooke Tennis Club

For a smaller, more flexible option, Carisbrooke Tennis Club is a great little venue for kids’ birthday parties. The owner is really accommodating with opening times, which makes planning so much easier, and there’s even a bar on site for the grown-ups, always a win!

8. Narborough Parish Council

   Another fantastic option for bigger celebrations is Narborough Parish Council. Much like Anstey, it’s a modern, spacious venue that’s ideal for larger children’s parties. There’s loads of room for equipment, whether that’s luxury soft play hire, a full soft play climbing frame, or even an inflatable bubble house if you really want to impress.

   It also has a kitchen plus tables and chairs, which makes catering and setting up super easy. The only thing to note is that the car park next door isn’t officially part of the venue but it’s right there, so guests shouldn’t struggle to find a spot. With its size, layout and flexibility, Narborough is definitely one to have on your list for indoor kids birthday party venues in Leicester.

   

How to Make an Indoor Party Extra Special

Choosing a venue is step one, but here’s how to take your party from “good” to “wow” especially when you team it with what Balloonatics Events can bring to the table.

1. Luxury Soft Play Hire

If your chosen venue doesn’t have built-in play equipment (or it’s limited), adding luxury soft play hire is a no-brainer. Think soft mats, cushioned shapes, tunnels, little ball pits all styled beautifully so they don’t look like a jumble of foam. It gives the kids a safe, tactile way to play, and when it’s done right, it adds to the aesthetics, not just the fun.

2. Inflatable Bubble House Hire

Want a showstopper? The inflatable bubble house hire is one of my favourite touches. These transparent domes filled with balloons become a mesmerising focal point. Kids can play inside safely, and it’s a stunning backdrop for photos. Plus, it’s unique, something guests will talk about for weeks after.

3. Soft Play Climbing Frame Hire

For the more energetic crew, soft play climbing frame hire is perfect. Think mini-tunnels, platforms and gentle slides all made of soft materials. It’s a way to let kids explore, climb, and move while worrying less about knocks and scrapes. Our climbing frame at Balloonatics is brand new and designed to be stylish, safe and quiet (no noisy blowers!).

We work with your theme, colour palette, and the room’s layout to make it look effortless and gorgeous.
