Review: Funky Footsteps Disco Party

Review: Funky Footsteps – A disco party venue in the heart of Maidstone

Tucked away in Wheeler Street you will be forgiven for not knowing this existed – put it on your map!  For kids parties this is fabulous fun, competitive rates with helpful staff.

There is a choice of two disco rooms each with a funky light up dance floor, ample room for party games and party food area.  Linked to the in-house cafe, both dance rooms are great for children who can be left to dance the party away while parents sip coffee in the cafe (with windows looking into the party room) or parents can join in the fun.

The team taylor the party to the age of your child providing music and party games to suit.  I booked a 4 year old’s birthday party and the children played ‘pass the parcel’ (sweet prizes), ‘dancing stars’, ‘musical statues’, ‘musical bumps’ made a conger and finally wound down with sleeping bunnies.

All the games are led by one of the truly energetic party team and they schedule time in for party food, the cutting of the cake and photos.

This is a unique venue in Maidstone and was a huge hit with the birthday girl and guests alike.  At the end of the party the birthday girl signed their party wall which was the icing on the cake.

Cost:  competitive

Access: No disabled access upstairs but fully equipped downstairs.

Cleanliness: High.

Facilities: Two disco rooms, cafe, movable baby changer, basic but clean male/female toilet facilities.

Rated by us as a ‘Super Smurf’ venue.
