I believe the answer is:

bran tub

'party activity' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'bart with bun ruined' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'bart' after 'bun' is 'bunbart'.
'bunbart' anagrammed gives 'BRAN-TUB'.
