We are DEAD chuffed to be working with Party Wishes on creating immersive, ticketed party events!

More info coming soon...

Look how excited Wednesday & Lurch are to join the Party Wishes family!

We’ve been bringing magic to parties for over 13 years, but even the classics to evolve.

Something wicked this way comes to the Scarborough area...
We’re pulling back the curtain on a brand new way to celebrate. Forget standard parties—we’re crafting fully immersive, ticketed experiences where you don't just attend; you step inside the story. From the Addams Family to the wacky characters of Wonderland and beyond, we are turning fantasy into reality.

Spaces for these unique experiences will be strictly limited. Keep your eyes peeled—you won’t want to miss what we’re building in the shadows...

Caramelising, scorching and graining...just a few of the techniques in action, along with our curious blend of wood dyes, varnishes and paints...Stay tuned for the final reveal this week!
