Children's Entertainment

for

Family Functions

Looking for Children's Entertainment for Family Events, you need someone with ample material to suit all 'possibilities' and you ARE certainly in the right place .

 

Why you need someone who is flexible?

 

At a children's birthday party, there are usually 20 plus children - all in the same age bracket, so entertainers know where they stand and what to do.

 

At Family Functions, the age range is not often consistent and sometimes not too many children, with everyone usually dressed in a more formal way, which can also put children in a different mindset.

 

I ask for an idea of how many children between 3yrs and 9yrs are expected and how many 10yr/11yr olds might attend.

3yrs to 9yrs is the typical children entertainers age range, 10yr olds and overs it depends on the individuals and who they are with. But they do not usually have a lot in common with 3yrs - 6yrs, so somethings might not work with the age group.

 

I have a lot of material and know no-one else in the Northeast goes to this length.

 

For most Family Functions, you need a children's entertainer who is experienced and versatile and can adapt.

 

If want something for everyone to join in or watch, I suggest up to 60minutes of stage type entertainment and then if want longer have off stage entertainment - like Balloon Modeling or Garden Games - something so your guests can chat in peace. I can also provide Background Disco Music and Disco Lights, the music is not too loud - so your guests can chat and the kids can boogie.

 

Below are some of the packages I offer, in detail - from 45minutes up to 3 hours - I find a maximum of 3 hours is more than fine.

 

I also can tailor make entertainment to suit what you require

THE HAPPY HOUR

 

Here is a short clip of the Happy Hour Package recorded at a Christening in February 2015, for over 35 children of all ages, so you can see how they interact with this package

 

The entertainment in this clip is the one hour mixed package with Party Games, Comedy Magic Show, 

 

This is the most booked one hour package, as you can see if there are a lot of children and they all stay for that hour. It is tailored to suit the age range, so if there are more older age - i tend to do more fun competitions for the over 10s

Here is a short clip of me performing at one of Haven Holiday's Largest Holiday Centres, Craig Tara in Ayr in 2014. Have performed hundreds of shows here, and always nice to return as my very first season with Butlin's was this park before it was sold

 

This was a family show, so presentation aimed at older age group rather than toddlers

 

Please excuse the video and sound quality as this was recorded live,not using professional recording gear - but is a live performance with a great audience reaction.

up to 45minutes

Comedy 

Magic Shows

to suit the

Age Range

Many entertainers have one show they perform,I offer a much wider range of both Children & Family Comedy Fun Magic Shows, simply because audiences differ at every Family Function

 

Click here to see full show list, shows are no shorter than 45 minutes

 

The Shows are designed to suit the audience on the day. I offer Toddlers, 5yrs to 9yrs, 10yrs and overs and Family Shows - all shows are specially designed, funny interactive shows and have been performed nationally thousands of times. For more info in the shows click here

 

It all depends on what the 'majority' children's age group is. For example, if there are 8 children mixed age range between 3yrs and 11yrs - then family show is best ... if there are 10 plus children between 4yrs and 9yrs, then children's magic show is best.  

 

Versatility and flexibility is what you need from an entertainer and this is exactly what you get if you hire me.

 

I always take enough ideas and decide on the day which show I think will work best.

up tp 60minutes

The

Great Games

Package

The Great Kids Games Party type Package is an hour of Games. Again, i decide on the day - but usually a mixture of:

 

Tradional Party Games: Musical type games like Pass the Parcel

 

Game for a Giggle: Holiday Park Style Gameshows

 

Garden Games: like Giant Jenga, Connect 4,  Blindfolded Game

 

I provide a mixture of all above to suit what the age range may be on the day. This package is ideal for 60minutes.

The

HAPPY

hour

This is a mixture of the above Show Package and Great Games.

 

Ideal if you require 60 minutes or even 90minutes. Although I can do 90 minutes, I always suggest 60 minutes is best. This package is mainly ideal if 3yrs old and 9yrs old.

 

The function on right photo, only had 8 children and had booked this package and hired a bouncy castle - I worked the package using the Castle

 

The first 30 minutes is usually games with the second 30 minutes is the show, but I always tailor to suit what I think is best on the day, so this package is flexible.

duration as required

Background Music or

Disco

If you expect a lot of children, disco with games or a show is a good idea - if the venue has room, I always suggest a Show or Tip Top Variety Package for the first hour before the food then follow the below.

 

Many ask for music/disco - but having entertained for thousands of family events, disco is something that should be background. So music doesn't intrude on people chatting but loud enough for kids to have a boogie

 

I offer the disco free addition if the 2hour or 3 hour package has been booked, but is pre-programmed music and plays for the time I have been hired.

 

  • The Show, Great Games or Tip Top Variety Package (above)

  • Balloon Modeling: making basic balloon models

  • Magic Workshop: teaching kids some great trickery

  • Garden Games: like Limbo, Giant Jenga, Connect 4

  • Disco or Background Music: played not too loud so your guests can chat

60mins to 90mins

The 

Ollie

Show

The Ollie Show is something no other local children entertainer offers for children functions. Ollie is a 6ft 2" Bright Pinky Orange Orangutan.

 

A REAL Character Fun Variety Show that children of all ages really love. Kids just LOVE Ollie. Ollie can be part of any other package.

 

Ollie has his own website, below in footer, if want an extensive look.

He is the perfect character for Christenings if you anticipate more the 15 children between 3yr old and 9yr old. Ollie requires a private change room

 

The show is a mixture of Singalongs, Ollie's Workout, Funny Magic, Ollie's Game and at the end a photo with Ollie. 

usually 60mins to 2hrs

Balloon Modeling

 

Magic Workshops

 

For people who require more quieter off-stage entertainment, Balloon Modeling and Magic Workshops are ideal and very popular, ideal for smaller venues as well.

 

You can combine the packages as well and once again, I am flexible and can take both with me and decide on the day

 

Balloon Modeling: I make a range of basic balloon models like swords, flowers, dogs, birds, hats, guns, parrots, bugs and a few others that are ideal for all age ranges. 

 

Magic Workshops: basically i teach the children some GREAT trickery.

This is ideal for older children, say 6yrs and upwards. I can have the children sat with me on the floor or at a table and teach them so great tricks using everyday objects ... like Cards, Straws, Dice, Crayons, Hair Bobbles 

 

The length of time booked would depend on how many children you expect, but again I am flexible and will often carry some extra ideas

The 

2 hour

Package

I usually suggest - if the venue has room, the Tip Top Variety Package for the first hour before the food then follow this with one of the following

 

  • Balloon Modeling: making basic balloon models

  • Magic Workshop: teaching kids some great trickery

  • Garden Games: like Limbo, Giant Jenga, Connect 4

  • Disco or Background Music: played not too loud so your guests can chat

The 

3 hour

Package

I usually suggest - if the venue has room, the Show or the Tip Top Variety Package for the first hour before the food then follow this with

two of the following

 

  • Balloon Modeling: making basic balloon models

  • Magic Workshop: teaching kids some great trickery

  • Garden Games: like Limbo, Giant Jenga, Connect 4

  • Disco or Background Music: played not too loud so your guests can chat

Ideal for October Functions

The 

Spooktacular

Hocus Pocus

Show

The Spooktacular Hocus Pocus Show is a fully themed children's Halloween Show, something not many local children entertainers offer. The show is ideal for 9 years and unders

 

This show is a kids comedy based magic show using halloween themed props and routines. Although this show is available all year round, in October customers can choose the Children's Birthday Magic Show or the Halloween Show.

 

Ideal for Children's Birthday Parties & Children's Halloween Functions or if your event takes place in October

Ideal if your Christening takes place in December, why not book the Mr Santa Claus Visit

 

He can be mixed with any of the above packages, or hand out presents/gifts, have photos taken, walk around tables - basically what best suits your requirements

 

Mr Santa Claus is a great father christmas character for all those festive Occasions. As you would expect of any global celebrity - he does require a private change area
