A 30th birthday party is more than just growing a year older. It’s the chance to turn over a new leaf and wave goodbye to your 20s. You’ve now been adulting for a full decade. Go you! You can use your wisdom to educate the young, impart your knowledge, and feel confident in your newfound maturity. Ok, maybe this isn’t the case for a lot of us. But we know one thing is certain; you can sure throw a hell of a party!

Now that you’re turning 30, you’ve likely settled into your own style and you know what you want. Whether you’re comfortable spending the night with your mates with a few drinks at the local pub or want to go wild on a night out to rival your 18th, or you’re the type to fly your friends and family out for a weekend in the Mediterranean, we’re here to help. No matter your vibe, we’ve got a huge selection of 30th birthday party ideas and activities to suit your needs.

1. Party Like You Never Grew Up

We get it, you feel like you’re still in your 20s. You’re the last to leave the dance floor on a night out and you breeze through hangovers and you’re the life and soul of the party. There’s no shame in hitting the same nightclubs that you did when you turned 21 and we’re sure you’ll have an awesome time. That being said, if this isn’t the case for all your friends, you could consider something in between. A cocktail making class or gin tasting experience makes a fantastic boozy 30th birthday experience that’s a little more sophisticated and will cater for any non-drinkers.

2. Learn a New Skill

Don’t feel nervous about turning 30 – embrace it! Own this new decade by trying something different or learning a new skill at your birthday party. We have loads of activities that are both fun and educational. Don’t worry, you’re not going back to school! Think of something more along the lines of a cheeky nude life drawing class. This age-old art form is not only perfect for unleashing your creative side but will most certainly give you and your friends the giggles as you sketch out your live male or female model’s best assets (ahem!).

Alternatively, if you’re not into nudes but you love your food, then a cooking class may be just the 30th birthday party idea you’ve been looking for. You can learn from The Great British Bake Off superstars in a Bake with a Legend experience, or indulge in your chocolatey fantasies with a chocolate making lesson. Trust us, your future dinner parties will never be the same.

3. Wine and Dine to Your Heart's Content

You might just want to keep it simple. A meal out at a top restaurant or café in a city of your choice is not only going to please everybody at your 30th birthday party, but it’ll even cater for you or your mate’s kids. Chances are, there will be a fair few of them! There are thousands of fantastic eateries across the UK and Europe, so make sure to check out our activity listings for restaurants and pick your favourite.

For something quintessentially British and utterly classy for your 30th birthday celebrations, you can hop on an afternoon tea bus that not only lets you indulge on a fine selection of cakes, scones and sandwiches, but will see you touring some top UK cities.

Alternatively, why not opt for a boozy bottomless brunch? The beauty of the brunch is that you can pop out the bubbly early and it’s totally ok! No 30th birthday weekend would be complete without delicious food, free flowing fizz and your best mates. It’s no surprise that this is one of the most popular 30th birthday activities of the moment!
