A loan from the Isle of Wight Lottery has helped the party begin for a new Island business.
Cinderockers provides a venue and all the trimmings for parties for children aged from four to 15, and came to the Lottery for help with set-up costs.
Now the business is up and running, and owner Nicky Clarke is excited about the future.
“Our themed party room is already proving popular for girls,” she said. “But we can change the theme for boys, and just about any occasion, too.”
Activities include face painting, dance, karaoke, costumes, and games, and the venue on the High Street at Wootton Bridge also supplies food and drink, balloons, and custom-built light and sound equipment. The room includes a stage with disco lights, and smoke and bubbles machines.
The business will shortly be Ofsted registered, and Nicky said the venue had been designed to be fully accessible for children with disabilities, including wheelchair users.
“We believe our approach is unique on the Island,” she said, “and we are proud of the fact that we can offer such a private, personal, safe and secure service, which also happens to be great fun. If anyone wants to come and see what we do, we’re always happy to show people round.”
