“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! ”

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
