Thirteenth Birthday Party

[Bloss]

My daughter's 13th is in January.
She wanted to hire a waterplay swimming pool, but it was going to be very expensive, so we have said 'no'. We would like to keep the costs below or around £180 if possible.
She would like to invite about 15 friends.
Her friends are having murder mysteries, discos, swimming pool and beauty spas, but she doesn't wantto repeat these options.
My daughter or siblings have had pottery party, cinema, theatre, bowling, sleepover, nails & make-up, making own handbags, party games, dinners out...
Anyone out there got an original idea which won't break the bank, please?

How about recording a pop CD or Video experience? I think Red Letter Days do something like this, my bosses son did this for one of his friends birthday and they all loved it.
Or a Karaoke booth party?
