A well-planned lolly buffet is one of the easiest ways to make a kids party, birthday or school event memorable. The Lolly Shop supplies bulk party lollies in 1kg bags and cartons so you can create a colourful, generous candy table without overpaying or running short.

How Much Lolly Do You Need?
A simple guide for most kids parties:
- Small party (10–15 children): 1.5–2.5 kg total
- Medium party (20–30 children): 3–5 kg total
- Large party or school event (40+ children): 6 kg or more
Allow roughly 80–120 g per child if the lolly buffet is a main feature, or less if you are also serving cake and other food. It’s better to have a little extra than to run out. (Also Confectionery keeps very well and never goes to waste).
Best Lollies for a Buffet
Look for a mix of:
- Soft gummies and jellies (easy for younger children)
- Chocolate-coated items and freckles
- Sour ranges for older kids
- Colourful boiled sweets or hard candy for visual impact
- Pre-packed 100 g mixed bags for party favours or take-home treats
Many customers combine several 1kg bulk bags to create variety while keeping the cost per serve low.
Quick Party Buffet Tips
- Use clear jars, bowls or stands at different heights for a better display
- Label any strong sour or allergen-containing products
- Keep chocolate items out of direct sun or heat
- Offer small scoops or tongs so children can serve themselves cleanly
- Add a few pre-packed mixed bags as ready-made party favours
