This is just a quick post to share some information I was sent through by a reader who attended a Cavewoman and Magician Party at Stump Cross Caverns in Pately Bridge and wanted to share their experience with others.
Their photos certainly caught my eye so I am happy to share. Please note, I have not personally attended this so won't be able to help with any questions (please contact the venue direct if you need further info). This post is simply to raise awareness and a reader recommendation.
These special events run on selected dates across the year. The next date is 29 May at 2pm.
What you can expect:
- Join Cavewoman and magician Rob for a guided tour of Stump Cross Caverns in the Yorkshire Dales
- Followed by party games Cavewoman-style whilst enjoying a bite to eat whilst watching The Croods in the Cinema Room
- All children receive a party bag
Here is what our reader had to say about the event:
" We went to Stump Cross Caverns at Pateley Bridge on Sunday for a cavewoman and magician party. It was excellent and well worth the money.
The cavewoman (who is also the owner) was brilliant and made sure all the children were happy and gave a brilliant tour of the caves.
My daughter loved her so much she went and sat on her knee to watch the movie.
The magician was really good and the children had him catching fairies all the way through.
The food was also delicious and they were very accommodating with any dietary requirements.
It was an excellent event and worth the drive from County Durham. My daughter is still talking about it now.
I would say it's perfect for families with children aged 8 and under "
