Harlow is a former Mark One New Town and local government district in the west of Essex, England. Situated on the border with Hertfordshire, it occupies a large area of land on the south bank of the upper Stort Valley, which has been made navigable through other towns and features a canal section near its watermill. Old Harlow is a village-size suburb founded by the early medieval age and most of its high street buildings are early Victorian and residential, mostly protected by one of the Conservation Areas in the district. In Old Harlow is a field named Harlowbury, a de-settled monastic area which has the remains of a chapel, a scheduled ancient monument.

We had an 8th birthday party here, first group in. Emily, jack and kem were wonderful. Great party, staff helpful, informative and really took all the strain out of sorting a party for 11 screaming 8-11 year old girls. Drinks for adults reasonably priced, food for children good quality. Seems a little expensive when booking, however, worth every penny. Definitely going again for future parties. Marshals Emily and Jack are patient and great with the kids, Kem seems to do everything you need to make the party run smoothly. Thank you Quasar.

My daughter had her 8th birthday party here today and she and her friends had an absolutely brilliant time. There is so much for the children to do and Selina was fantastic at giving them ideas for things they could make. The attention to detail makes the venue simply beautiful and I cannot recommend highly enough.

I would like to give the staff of Wild N Wacky a special thank you, especially to Molly (who was our host) for making my Son's birthday party special. All the kids (around 20 in total) really enjoyed playing in the soft play area before sitting down to some lovely hot food (which they they all gobbled up). All the kids said they had a fantastic time and enjoyed the party. Thank you Wild N Wacky (specially Molly) for making it a memorable day for our son.
