“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. ”

“We had such a great experience for my sons 8 birthday, Angelo the host was amazing and really made the whole party calm and straight forward. The van is comfortable, the selection of games is great, the VR is fun, and Angelo is on hand for all the help and assistance the kids (or us) needed. We had a hiccup with the delivery of our food but Angelo made everything smooth and stress free. Would not hesitate to recommend!”

Helped to make a party that didn't go as planned

“There was an issue with the venue on the day of my daughter's party, resulting in a lot of scrabbling to pull things together. Jeanette was very professional despite the chaos and helped get things back on track.”

Children’s party

“We had Jimmy to our son’s 5th birthday. He travelled over an hour for the event and had pre made 24 minion balloons. We hired him for 1 hour only and our only regret was that we didn’t hire him for longer! He was a huge hit with the children and the parents. I was expecting a sword or a twisted dog like you got in the 90’s at kids parties but he made monkeys, unicorns, turtles all were very intricate and detailed. Absolutely superb quality of balloon making. Our son also had a giant minion balloon made for him. Jimmy took the time to ask about the party requirements and different options available to us. If you book with Jimmy I would advise booking more than an hour as you will not be disappointed. ”

Vikki @Glitzybodyart Review of the day

“Vikki was so professional. Her stand looked absolutely great. She was wonderful with the kids who all loved her face painting & glitzy body tattoos. She also did some hair braiding which was excellent & we even had adults getting their hair braided too! We thoroughly recommend Vikki for any of your events, she coped well when it got busy & all the kids were super happy. We will be booking her again. ”

“Maria face painted at my twins 4th Birthday party - she charges a very reasonable fee in comparison to other quotes I received. She was absolutely lovely with all the children and ensured they all got what they wanted. Also very skilful - the children looked fantastic and she even did a pretty pattern for me too! Thank you so much - would definitely book again. ”

FAQ

Answers to your questions 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
