Christmas is coming!

CAP NEWS CHRISTMAS THEMESAt the time of posting, Christmas may only be 202 days away, but in the World of Crafty Arty Parties that is NO time at all!

In fact, at the beginning of the year after all the debriefs and congratulations, we have no time at all to rest on our laurels. It’s full steam ahead coming up with new creatives and then getting them into production before the festive party season starts.

Crazy as it seems, in OUR world our first festive event rolls out in July, so as you can see we are always running rather than walking. In between all that, we have family fundays, private screenings and goodness knows what else to fit in.

So what’s ‘on trend’ this year for all things Yuletide?

Well, the good news is that as always, traditional parties are still as popular as ever, BUT our clients are certainly getting more adventurous and willing to dip their festive toes into something out of the ordinary. 

Some of our brilliant and totally bespoke themes this year include:

Dr Dolittle’s Christmas Adventure
Dick Whittington’s Travel
The Magic Theatre
Frosted Fairytales
Journey to the North Pole
The Land of  Sweets
Polar Playground
Toy Kingdom

 

We promise you – they are amazing! In fact, loads of the props are already made and on display in our theming company Props Dead Gorgeous showrooms. Why not come down and see them for yourself OR if you want more information on any of the above then email kitty.ebdon@craftyartyworld.com

Grease makes a comeback!

CAP News GreaseWith the exciting live musical of Fox’s ‘Grease’ fast approaching, Crafty Arty Parties is counting down the days as this iconic very popular musical, originally created by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, continues to be a favourite theme with our clients for their corporate events.

Whether it’s  family funday or evening soiree, ‘Grease’ is a timeless classic and, in fact even today,  the musical remains one of the longest running shows on broadway receiving countless awards including seven Tony nominations.

Fast forward to 2015, Crafty Arty Parties takes ‘retro’ to a whole new level as they recreate some of the most iconic scenes from the film and turn it into the ‘Funday of all Fundays!’

We will take you through the gates of ‘Rydell High,’ the ‘Movie Drive-in’ and ‘Monkey Gas Garage’ where you can build a motor bike. Then there’s the ‘Frosty Palace Malt Shop’ and ‘Pink Ladies Salon’ where you can make your own cosmetics and enjoy a chemistry class with Frenchie!  Don’t forget too to visit ‘Venice Beach,’ the ‘Bowling Alley,’ take part in the ‘Dance Off,’ have fun at the ‘Carnival’ and SO much more besides……
