“I booked Elsa the day before her visit for my niece Safa who is currently in hospital after been diagnosed with cancer. She had a beautiful day and Elsa was so amazing she made her day! To see Safa so happy brought tears to our eyes and we cannot thank you enough and would recommend you to anyone and everyone! Elsa was really involved with Safa and many other children at the hospital. The smile on Safa's face was so huge and beautiful thanks to Elsa. This visit is one that neither Safa or anyone else will forget and we all wholeheartedly thank Elsa and Sarah who organised it literally on the Friday for the next day Saturday. The communication with the staff is wonderful and I won't hesitate to contact them again if I want to have entertainment at a party! I wish them the best of luck on the growth of their business as you are all doing a great job and really deserve the recognition!!! Aliya xx”

“We contacted Sam to provide fun entertainment for our clients at a corporate event, but also to promote our products and services. Her professionalism shone through from the outset, the beautiful costume created a wonderful display and gained the attention of admirers. The overriding purpose of company promotion was easily achieved by Sam with her great personality and ability to connect with important senior business figures or small children enthralled by her presence. Highly recommended and certainly a repeat performer for us!”

“Steve made sure my son had the most amazing party. He arrived with far more games and equipment than we could have expected. The van was super impressive, and all the 9 year old boys absolutely loved exploring the different games as well as playing their favourites. There was something for everyone and Steve was chilled and stayed for ages so no-one felt rushed. Totally recommend. ”

“Sally entertained at our wedding reception, booked at short notice due to a previous let down. She was very professional with paperwork, risk assessments etc and was clear in her requirements. She arrived in plenty of time to set up and pitched things perfectly for all the ages and interests, was not in your face but was popular with the children and parents from 1-45! Would highly recommend her services as value for money and would definitely use her again! ”

“We started out wanting to find someone who could perform Punch and Judy for our son’s 5th birthday party and discovered Jonathan and that he provided a full package of a two hour birthday celebration. From the moment the children arrived he engaged with them all and started telling jokes, even one or two for the parents who stayed. Once everyone had arrived Jonathan got the children playing a few party games, such as Musical bumps and Statues rolled into one, and after all the games were played each child was given a choice of prize had they been the winner or not. We then had a little break for food, while Jonathan set up for some magic tricks and the Punch and Judy show. The magic tricks were very clever, often giving the Children the belief that they had the solution only to be proven wrong and leaving them with open mouths plus many “wows”. The Punch and Judy show was brilliant. Having seen a few recently it was so good that Jonathan added a moral to the tale, which essentially is not the most PC story, meaning that the children understood that violence is not a good solution. The children were totally captivated throughout the whole of the party and from the comments I’ve had from Mum’s they all thought it was brilliant fun. I would thoroughly recommend Jonathan as an entertainer and should I need a Punch and Judy again in the future he would be my first port of call ”

“Jigsaw Entertainments were fabulous at our children's birthday party (age 5 & 3). The face painting was the best I've seen and the balloon models were a huge hit with all the children. We still have ours 5 days later! Jigsaw Entertainments were extremely professional, arriving on time, and did not stop until the party was over. They were great with the children. The children had a wonderful time and a lot of that was down to Jigsaw Entertainment. ”

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hiring a childrens entertainer.

The cost of a children's entertainer can vary depending on the location, type of entertainment, and duration of the event. On average, you can expect to pay between £100 and £300 for a 1-2 hour performance.


However, prices can range from as low as £50 for a basic package to as high as £500 or more for a premium package or a well-known performer. It's always best to get a quote directly from the entertainer or entertainment company you are interested in, as prices can vary widely based on their specific services and experience.

  • Make sure the entertainer's performance is appropriate for the age range of the children attending your event.
  • Consider the type of entertainment you want for your event. Do you want a magician, a clown, a face painter, a balloon twister, or a combination of different activities?
  • Check the entertainer's experience and reviews from previous clients
  • Ensure that the entertainer has taken appropriate safety precautions and is DBS (CRB) verified
