Brick Antics based on the Kapiti Coast can recreate this experience for awesome birthday parties for children aged 5-12 anywhere in the greater Wellington area (or lower North Island by arrangement). A trained, experienced educator and enthusiastic LEGO fan, the host will keep the birthday child and attending guests (young and old!) thoroughly entertained through building challenges and games specifically designed for the various age groups and interests. All bookings include prizes and a gift for the birthday child as well as setup and clean-up in your home/ venue of your choice. Originally starting quietly in 2019 they are looking to “build” up their party bookings in 2020 as well as begin work on other exciting ideas based around the famous Danish invention.
Enquiries and bookings can be made via cell 0210438185/ facebook page or email info@brickantics.co.nz

There will also be something for the kids with stalls selling children's amusements and novelties, face painting, children's books, clothes, and crocheted animals/dolls/fruit/veg. For those small people who love all things on wheels, we are hoping to have a fire engine, although this is still to be confirmed. And don't forget there is a lovely little playground in Mahara Place.
Dean Ward will be entertaining the crowds as he has done many times before, and there will be a guest appearance by Kapiti Kidz Vocals at 11.30.
Most of the local businesses will be open which includes cafes, take aways, and the local butcher who will be cooking up a storm with his ever popular spit roast.
It'll be a blast so come along and check us out!!
