This year is the 50th anniversary of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and what better what to celebrate this year’s Roald Dahl Day than with a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory birthday party!
We’ve delved into the deepest depths of our imagination to bring you a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory party Willy Wonka himself would be proud of – so whether you savour your chocolate like Charlie Bucket or guzzle it down like Augustus Gloop, here are all the ingredients you need for a party in honour of the world’s most famous chocolatier!
Willy Wonka sweet table with printable labels
Sweet tables are all the rage right now and we can’t think of anything more perfect for a Willy Wonka party!
Here are a few ideas from our very own Willy Wonka sweet table – and remember, the more colourful, the better!
Who needs plain old sweets when you can have rainbow drops that let you spit in six different colours?
Download our free printable Willy Wonka place setters at the bottom of this post to make your guests feel like they’ve stepped straight into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory!
Scrumdiddlyumptious snacks
Turn your ordinary chocolate bars into these Wonka-tastic creations with our free printable chocolate bar wrappers!
All you need is your chocolate bar of choice (we chose Twixes!) and a little bit of sticky tape to fasten the printable paper wrapper together.
You’ll find the free download at the bottom of this post and if you look carefully, you may even find the last golden ticket!
Make your own fizzy lifting drinks
Over at the official Roald Dahl website we found this scrumdiddlyumptious recipe for fizzy lifting drinks to tantalise your taste buds.
And to make them look even more scrummy you can download our fizzy lifting drinks labels!
How to make your own fizzy lifting drinks:
1. Close all the doors so your fizzy lifting drink doesn’t lift you all the way into space!
2. Pour a glass of cream soda.
3. Top it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
4. Drink.
5. Burp.
Thanks again to the official Roald Dahl website for this scrumdiddlyumptious recipe we’ll definitely be trying out ourselves! Download our free drinks labels at the bottom of this post.

We’ve filled ours with lots of Roald Dahl inspired goodies, including sweets, swirly lollipops, a homemade Willy Wonka chocolate bar, a Roald Dahl book, our very own printable Roald Dahl bookmark and a very special golden ticket.
