“I met Mark at a Networking Event and he mentioned that he found acts for special occasions so we tasked him with finding us a singer that could entertain our guest over afternoon tea. He helped us choose the music and gave us samples of the acts he promoted including his own promo tape, as I had already met him and liked his style we ended up booking him and he did a fantastic job! ”

You worked tirelessly throughout the event to provide brilliant balloon creations for all the children (and some adults too). Everyone was really impressed with your models and I will definitely be in touch for any similar events in the future. Thank you”

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
