Indoor Party Ideas for a Rainy Day in London

The good news is there are plenty of fantastic indoor party ideas that keep children entertained, whatever the weather.

A bubble show is a brilliant way to bring something magical indoors. Children can:

It’s interactive, exciting, and works beautifully in halls, living rooms, or hired venues (space permitting).

(Bubble shows also work just as well outside in the rain - more on that in a future post!)

Face painting is always a favourite and works perfectly indoors. From superheroes to butterflies, it adds colour and creativity to any party.

Balloon modelling keeps children entertained and gives them something to take home. Popular designs include animals, swords, and themed creations.

For something a little different, glitter tattoos are a huge hit—especially for older children. They’re quick, sparkly, and long-lasting.

This keeps children engaged and allows for a smooth flow throughout the party.

For the best experience:

Clear some space for activities
Consider a hall for larger groups
Use a mix of indoor and outdoor areas if available and the weather forecast is optimistic!

☔ Don’t Let the Weather Ruin the Fun

With the right entertainment, a rainy day party can be just as exciting—if not more so—than one in the sunshine.
