PRICES, BOOKING INFORMATION AND AREAS COVERED
TIME AND PARTY DURATION
1) How much will it cost to hire an entertainer?
The cost will vary depending on your party location and the type of entertainment you require. For an approximate quote, please see the areas covered page here.
2) How far in advance should I book?
Please book as far in advance as possible to avoid disappointment. We can get booked up very quickly, particularly at weekends and during holiday seasons.
3) Will I need to pay a deposit to secure my party booking?
A non refundable deposit is required to secure your booking date.
4) What is the best time for my party?
The ideal time slots available over the weekends are from 11.00-13.00 or 15.00-17.00 in order to entertain as many children as possible. However we do try to be as accommodating as as we can so let us know when you would like your party to begin.
5) How long are your party packages?
We are proud to offer a two hour party package and a one hour party package. The one hour party can be placed before or after a food break. A two hour party has a 20 minute food break in the middle. In some cases a 90 minute show can be provided but this will almost certainly tire the children out, (some parents see this as a positive).

6) Can I have Face Painting at my party?
We currently do not offer face painting ourselves. There is usually very little time for this once we've begun the party. Our high-energy show is designed to be engaging and keep children busily entertained throughout. However, if you want to hire an independent face painter, feel free.
7) Do you need parking at the venue?
Yes, this is very important as we will have a lot of party equipment to unload and set up. If payment is required for parking, please let us know in advance. Parking must be reimbursed to us on the date of the party.
8) Are your parties suitable where there is a mix of boys and girls?
Absolutely! Our party packages are perfect to suit both boys and girls and all the games are especially designed for all genders.
9) Can I have the party at home?
Of course! Our parties are very active and include lots of high energy dancing and games. As long as you have enough space to hold the party at home, this would not be a problem. If there is a power supply, you can even host it in your garden!
10) We are thinking of hiring a bouncy castle. How will this work with the entertainer?
This can be a great addition to a party as long as you have enough space for both the entertainer and the bouncy castle. We recommend that you let the bouncy castle down during the main entertainment, because they can be very noisy and a distraction to the children. If hiring us for a two hour party package, a bouncy castle is probably not necessary.
11) Do I have to buy prizes?
No need at all. We will will provide everything for the party entertainment including prizes, special gifts and balloon modelling.
12) There will be lots of different aged children. Can they all be included in the party?
Definitely! We have enjoyed over 20 years experience entertaining tots to teens. We will involve them all and tailor the presentations to suit.
13) Is there a maximum number of children that you will entertain?
No, the more the merrier. However if you are expecting more than 50 children to attend, please let us know so that we can be sure to bring enough balloons for everyone.
14) My child can be rather shy. Will he/she be picked to help with lots of things?
We often make a big fuss over the birthday child and ensure they receive lots of prizes, balloons, and take part in the magic. However this is never forced and if your child really does not want to take part, they do not have to. More often than not, our gentle encouragement throughout the party will bring a child out of his/her shell a little.
15) I am hosting a joint birthday party for two or more birthday children. Can this be done?
Absolutely! For each additional birthday child, an extra £5 will be added on to the booking to cover the additional cost of birthday prizes for each birthday child.
16) It is not my child’s birthday but I would like an entertainer for a wedding, a Christening, a school or other event. Can you do this?
Yes, we are often hired to keep children entertained at weddings, Christenings, schools and other events. Please specify the nature of the event when enquiring. See our close up magic page too for family entertainment offers.
17) Do you have Public Liability insurance and DBS check?
Naturally. We have Public Liability Insurance and an up to date DBS check. All electrical equipment is PAT tested too.
