Frog Orange Party

I cannot count the amount of times that oxford brookes held a fancy dress nite (fubar) and this place saved me time and time again.
There are two floors to this shop although it is quite small. On the upper floor you will find balloons, ribbons, party plates and cutlery, and any other fancy dress themed decorative item for the home you can think of!
To get to the lower floor you walk down the stairs where you can see a varied assortment of costumes hanging on the wall. Ive seen… nurse, pirate, witch, mermaid, policeman, maid… all the usual… and some odd ones like animal ones too! On the lower floor you will also find some funky glittery make up, a wacky range of glasses, every colour wig possible, hats such as cowboy hats, feather boa’s and some funny stag/​hen night adult stuff too.
Even if you are not after a full fancy dress outfit you should pop in here. its a good laugh and i bet you will leave with something… from a large blow up hammer to a small quirky badge.
This is defo the place to go for quirky party stuff or to add a bit of humour to a nite out!

Party Mania is a proper old-​fashioned joke and fancy dress shop. There’s every costume imaginable, with unbelievable ranges of false beards, wigs, cloaks, wands, daggers, swords and masks. There’s face paint and other generic fancy dress items which can be re-​used, as well as speciality outfits for themed parties and seasonal events like Halloween. The staff are very tolerant, as your inner child leaps about trying everything on and waving swords around like a pirate. There’s a also a great variety of practical jokes and toys, so a great place for children to spend their pocket-​money or for stocking fillers. At some points in the year they also stock reasonably-​priced fireworks. The only problem is that it’s so crammed with stuff, it can be hard to move, and some of the costumes are expensive. There’s something for everyone here though, and you’re guaranteed to come out with something even if you only go in to accompany a friend!
