The boy has never been one for parties. His own or others.

He asked if he could have one to celebrate being ten and wanted a football party. We thought as a special treat, we would book Hotel Football.

Hotel Football has a football pitch on the roof overlooking Old Trafford. He counted down 47 days until the day arrived. It was totally worth the wait.

Pitch on the roof aside, the best part was me not having to do a single thing and just arrive. No invitations to buy, no cake to sort, no party bags – everything was done for us.

The party was absolutely brilliant from start to finish from playing football games to the gorgeous food. The children and parents were blown away.

The biggest hit was the candy floss machine, the children were sent home sugar high.

Awesome was said so many times and it was so totally worth splashing out. We have a lot of memories in the bank after that.

The boy already wants us to book it again for next year!

Thank you Hotel Football.
