Reading Time: 11 minutesWhatever occasion you’re celebrating, you want to make it special and – in these busy times – easy to organise! With Hong Kong homes being on the small side (to say the least), the trend is to host parties at an external venue. Many places offer activities, catering and some little extras, read on to see what piques your interest in our ultimate birthday party guide. We’ve also compiled a list of entertainers and suppliers to help the party go down a treat.
