World of their Own

02/05/2026

1. Goodbye to the old…
2. Hello to the new…
3. Walls to take down… and a new Wild West adventure play town to build! 🤠

After an exhausting few weeks clearing out our old venue, we finally have the keys to the next exciting chapter of our story. A lovely detached building on Hornbeam Park, nestled between the Serious Sweet Company and Roosters Brewery (I know, perfect right?! 🙌🏻🍭🍺😂), which has so much potential but needs completely gutting before the Sheriff can even start creating the magic! Sledge hammer anyone?! 😆

🤩 Celebrating our amazing TEAM! 🤩
We could not be more proud and grateful for these incredible people. For most of them, working for us has been their first job, and it’s not an easy one. It’s hard work and the Sheriff has very high standards! But they’ve all done brilliantly and grown in confidence, giving it their very best and always with a smile 😊. We could not have built World of their Own into an award-winning party and play destination without these shining stars… ⭐ Annabel ⭐️ Ava ⭐ Elvie ⭐ Erin ⭐ Evie ⭐ Grace ⭐ Lenny ⭐ Lucy ⭐ Scarlett ⭐ and we can never thank you enough ❤️.

We are absolutely delighted that most of them will be returning later in the year to support us at our exciting new venue 🙌🏻. However, we’ll certainly miss those that are leaving us to go to university and wish them all the luck and happiness in their next adventure!

Please support our wonderful friend and her incredible party venue! It would be a great loss to Harrogate and beyond if this magical emporium disappeared. So many of you have contacted us about parties recently and we always recommend Beyond Imagination Emporium because we know you won’t be disappointed. They work incredibly hard and take so much pride in providing a top quality, immersive party experience. ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Here at the Emporium, we’re usually all about magic, sparkle, and happily ever afters. But today, we need to be real for a moment.

Right now, many small businesses like ours are finding things incredibly tough.

This spring, we’re facing rising rent, increasing business rates, and a noticeable slowdown in bookings. We know the wider economy is challenging for most people, but the reality is it’s becoming harder to keep the magic going.

We are also no strangers to balancing personal challenges at home. Over the past year, I’ve taken on home educating my youngest son who has additional needs, and since Christmas I’ve been helping to care for a close family member undergoing cancer treatment. As a result, our beautiful party room now often sits quiet during the weekdays, and we would truly love to see it brought back to life. If you run a baby group, craft club, home education group, or anything community-focused, please do get in touch — we have parking, storage space and tea/coffee facilities, all within our peaceful, beautiful venue. We would love to hear from you and explore how we can support each other.

If you’ve ever visited us, booked a party, or simply followed along and loved what we do, we’d be so grateful for your support right now.

We completely understand that not everyone will be in a position to book a party — and that’s absolutely okay. But if you would still like to support us, even the smallest gesture really does make a difference:
💖 Sharing our page with friends or local groups
💖 Recommending us to someone planning a party
💖 Getting in touch about hiring our space midweek

This little kingdom means so much to so many people. It’s where stories come to life, where children meet fairytale royalty, and where so many special memories have been made.

We know the Enchanted Storybook will one day reach its final chapter… we’re just not ready to close the book yet 😊

Stef 💜💜💜

🤠 That’s all folks! 👋🏻 Lights out, music off, and the ‘ol saloon doors have swung shut for the last time! Thank you so much to everyone who visited this weekend, giving us hugs, sharing their pictures and memories, and offering support and best wishes ….but especially Michelle, who got us really choked up with this beautiful poem….

“When the Dust Settles on This Trail”

In a corner of the world where imaginations roam,
You built a magical place that felt like home—
A frontier stitched with laughter’s thread,
Where every “Howdy, partner” spread
A little magic, wild and free,
A special place for us to be.

You taught us how to tip our hats,
How to walk tall in cowboy flats,
How to ride out storms with steady grace,
And find adventure in every space.
Boots and spurs, fun in the air—
But kindness always everywhere.

From tiny cowhands finding their stride
To grown-up wranglers beaming with pride,
You crafted moments, bold and bright,
With lots of treats and water fights.

And now, as tomorrow draws near,
And your doors swing closed don't shed a tear,
We stand together, hearts full-grown,
Grateful for the world you’ve shown.
This pause ain’t sorrow, nor farewell—
Just the next chapter in your fairytale.

You’re hitching wagons, building anew,
A bigger Wild West coming into view.
Stronger trails, wider skies,
A place where even bigger dreams can rise.

So thank you, friends, for all you’ve done—
For every laugh, each moment won.
For shaping joy as we have grown,
For giving us a world of our own.
May your next horizon shine real bright—
We’ll see you there when the time is right!

🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵

Thank you Michelle 🥰
We will soon be making an exciting announcement about our new venue!!
Watch this space 🤠

Just a reminder! 🤠
We are still just a phone call or email away for any enquiries throughout that time and the party booking system is always open online (link in bio). 🎉

📣 LAST CHANCE - THIS WEEKEND! Remember folks! We’re closing the Wild West saloon doors for the last time THIS weekend, Sunday 29th March 😔

We’re still getting party enquiries daily 😆, so if word isn’t out there yet….
👉🏻 WE ARE MOVING PREMISES! 🤠

This is due to the escalating overheads at our current venue, but don’t worry, we’ve found a wonderful new home - and it’s only 100 yards up the road! 👏🏻

However, we STILL NEED YOUR HELP to relocate and expand for an even better play experience! So if you haven’t already, please consider pre-purchasing a play or party voucher for the new venue, or making a donation 🙏🏻. Every effort, big or small, means the world to us and we’re extremely thankful for all the support so far 😍.

This Saturday’s ‘Last Chance Saloon’ Play & Dines are fully booked, but there’s still tickets available for Sunday morning. We’d really love to see y’all for the final Yee-Haa! 🤠

There’ll be all the legendary fun, games and shenanigans of the Wild West… but no doubt, it might get a bit emotional too! 😔

Thank you 🙏🏻

🌺 HAPPY MOTHER’s DAY 🌺 to all you fantastic mums, always putting your children before yourselves and loving them unconditionally, whatever challenges they present. You are absolutely AMAZING, and we hope you get all the love and appreciation today that you deserve.
It doesn’t matter how old they get - they never stop being your babies 🥰.
