Party Piglets

Kids parties these days have become a serious business and for my younger son’s third, yes, third birthday party, it seemed perfectly acceptable to spend £150 on hiring a fire engine for him and four friends. I know, crazy. I have since regained my senses but I must admit it was an total blast and the kids just loved very minute of it.
The actual Northern Ireland Fire Brigade selfishly don’t do kids’ parties. Something to do with rescuing people from fires and car accidents. So if you want the fire engine experience, then go to Party Piglets and hire the next best thing — the Norn iron Fire Brigade. Hilarious. They own a couple of decommissioned fire engines which they hire out for parties. The £150 got us an hour and a half to drive about, party bags and a plastic fire man’s hat for everyone. The driver even sounded the sirens a couple of times which sent the kids into excitement overdrive.
The driver was great with kids and very friendly which made the experience even better.
Party Piglets also have pink fire engines for hen parties etc, but that’s a very different kind of party which I’ll leave to someone else to review.
