Tammy Gooding

Available for over a year

What do you do for a child’s birthday party? A few rounds of pass the parcel? Musical statues? Perhaps a piece of cake for guests to take home? It seems those days are fading. New figures suggest the average cost of a child’s birthday party is now around £520. Parents are feeling the pressure to put on a memorable event for their children. Tammy Gooding spoke to parents about what they do for parties, if they feel this pressure, and how much they’re willing to spend.
