Minty's birthday has made me think about my upcoming birthday.

It's my big 2-5 so I wanted to do something special to celebrate.

For Minty's 30th we went to Go Ape

http://www.goape.co.uk/

which was great fun! In the past for birthday's we've done casino nights, trips to theme parks, meals out etc

I've grown out of going around pubs for my birthday and I prefer something a bit more active and entertaining.

So what can you think of that myself & my friends can do for me birthday?

Look at who you want to invite.

What sort of things would they like to do? - it's no use thinking of people who would enjoy going to the theatre and other 'less demanding' activites to then turn round and invite them all to go rock climbing, may be fraught with a lot of people not wanting to go.

You could go to Napoleon's and have them sing happy birthday to you Very Happy

After a quick scout around I found this for ideas
http://www.iknow-yorkshire.co.uk/attractions/south_yorkshire/hull/all_prices/sports-and-leisure/all_specialities/

I'm sure i've seen sign's for an Ice rink in Hull. Do they do rollerskating as well?

Bowling is always a good time out ( for those who like activities and actually 'doing' something ). It's something that can apply to nearly everyone whether that be parents or friends.

I've been to Nottingham dog racing before which was good fun - this might be the same

Perhaps less activity based? - there's always a museum to look around
http://attractions.yorkshire.com/thedms.aspx?dms=13&feature=1&GroupId=2&venue=2175800&easi=true

Streetlife Museum
http://attractions.yorkshire.com/thedms.aspx?dms=13&feature=1&GroupId=2&venue=2175789&easi=true

And because i've always liked boats and shipping in general
http://attractions.yorkshire.com/thedms.aspx?dms=13&feature=1&GroupId=2&venue=2175811&easi=true

Various councils have a 'what's on' on their website

This month and most of next to go still so plenty of time, i'm sure we can all come up with something Smile

Ooo!

I'm thinking either bolwing or go-karting as both are good group days out.

I do really want to try either http://www.humberparascending.co.uk/index.html
or
http://www.wolds-gliding.org/

But both are solo events so I can't really bring my friends along. Maybe another time.

Nothing stopping you going with a group of people who would want to do that Very Happy

Could have a 'laid back' day for those who want something 'easy' and then another day for those who would like to do other things Very Happy

@ Helen - both the parascending and the gliding look really interesting, but as you say are more solo events, so perhaps not ideal for a birthday party. Group-wise bowling is always fun, I have never been go karting but it looks really fun - would you like to go paintballing or something like that?

Its really tricky deciding what to do for special birthdays - its my 21st today and I have no idea what to do for it really. My parents wanted to get me something special, perhaps tickets to go see a show, but there isn't really much on that I want to see enough to justify the ticket price really. I think we are going to go to the Isle of Wight and have a 'llama picnic' where the llama carries your picnic and then have a nice meal and stay in a nice hotel, which I would really enjoy. I wanted to do something with my friends but my knee has put an end to that plan as I have returned to my parent's house instead of being at uni, so I might do something when I return for graduation or something. Also, quite conveniently the village my parents live in is having a beer and music festival this weekend, so I will be able to celebrate with my family and some friends who live nearby then, and I am really looking forward to it Smile

The *same* hotel room? - everyone just sleeps where they fall ? - if so someone needs a camera, it'll be like a game of drunken twister where everyone just decided to stop half way through Very Happy

OR!

Everyone could fall in such a way that they look like some sort of metal sculpture with everyone propping everyone else up Very Happy
