“But honey, what about the kids?”
What About The Kids was created after being faced with the question as to what to do with the kids when invited to events.
It has since developed into a go-to business for children’s table and chair hire - for parties, weddings and events.
Our tables and chairs are popular for children’s birthday parties, weddings, family events and gatherings.
We also know how expensive and stressful events can be, so everything we offer is affordable, easy to order, and delivered with no fuss. Plus we can even help out with the extra details - from balloons, tableware and party bags to flowers, party hats and tulle bows!
So, if you're planning a party with little people and don't know where to start, get in touch with us at What About the Kids and we'll make it a little easier!
“Providing children with the right sized chairs and tables makes the whole experience much more enjoyable and special for them.”
Warwick & Madeleine Bayliss
What About the Kids was originally founded in 2015 by Ellie Ryan, who realised there was little on offer to keep kids entertained at weddings. She started by supplying stylish and affordable kids’ corners at local events. Once word got out the business quickly expanded, hiring out party furniture and party extras across the UK - all just for kids.
In May 2022 husband and wife team Warwick & Madeleine Bayliss took over WATK. With backgrounds in events and children’s businesses, plus two small children of their own, this was the perfect opportunity to own and develop a wonderful business. They have exciting plans in store for WATK, so watch this space for new branches and new products!

Mum of two, well actually three including our dog, I live in Brentwood and have always been involved in events one way or another. My main love is floristry and I run Nutty’s Flowers in my spare time and absolutely love creating beautiful flower designs.

Alex morgan, Wiltshire
As the mum of a toddler who is always looking for the next adventure, I’ve been inspired to get more involved in children's activities and experiences. I run train-themed stay and play sessions across Wiltshire and the Cotswolds. The massive train tracks, themed trains and ride-on roller coaster are also fab for parties and events - the perfect compliment to the stylish 'What About the Kids’ furniture and accessories!
Best Things in Life?
Family, sunny days, and Percy Pigs.
