Peter was awesome! Our guests absolutely loved him and so did we….although I think our 4yr old’s mind will be blown forever 😂.
He was so friendly, so warm, funny and great at what he does. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Your Guide to a Lush Christmas Party: The Best Entertainment in Bristol
Bristol has a creative spirit that’s all its own. It’s a city that champions independence, artistry, and doing things with a bit of a twist. So when it comes to planning the annual Christmas party, a generic, one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t feel right. You need a celebration that captures that unique Bristolian vibe – something fun, inventive, and anything but boring.
As event professionals who love this city's energy, we know that the key to a truly memorable bash is finding entertainment that has as much character as Bristol itself. It’s the secret ingredient that transforms a standard get-together into a gert lush night that your team will be buzzing about for weeks.
This is your insider’s guide to finding and booking brilliant Christmas entertainment in Bristol, helping you create a party that’s as unique as you are.
Creating a Buzz: Why Entertainment is the Heart of Your Party
What’s the difference between a good party and a great one? A great party has a personality. It has a buzz. Professional entertainment is the quickest and most effective way to create that buzz. It’s a social catalyst, giving your guests a reason to put their phones away, interact, and share a genuine moment of fun or wonder.
A brilliant entertainer gets people talking, laughing, and connecting. It breaks the ice instantly and ensures the energy in the room stays high all evening. For a creative team in Bristol, it shows you’ve put real thought into the experience, valuing creativity and fun over stuffy formality. It’s the heart of your party, pumping energy and enjoyment into every corner of the room.
From Harbourside Warehouses to Georgian Splendour: Venues and Vibes
Bristol’s landscape is a fantastic mix of the historic, the industrial, and the beautifully elegant. The city’s venues have real character, and the right entertainment will feel perfectly at home, enhancing the unique atmosphere of your chosen space.
Let’s explore some classic Bristol settings:
- Cool Harbourside Warehouses: These iconic spaces offer a raw, industrial-chic backdrop with a tangible link to the city’s maritime past. They are the perfect setting for a themed Murder Mystery like a harbour heist, or a stylish Fun Casino night.
- Creative Studios: As a hub for artists and makers, Bristol has countless studio spaces that act as a blank canvas for your event. Here you can get really creative. A Caricaturist creating digital GIFs on a big screen or a magician with a unique, minimalist set would be a fantastic fit.
- Elegant Georgian Houses: The beautiful townhouses in areas like Clifton provide a sophisticated and intimate setting. For a more formal Christmas party, a magician performing slick, mingling close-up magic is an ideal way to add a touch of class and wonder.
- Friendly Community Halls: Reflecting Bristol's independent spirit, a community hall offers a relaxed, DIY-style party. This is a great space for an interactive entertainer who can bring everyone together, like a fun, engaging murder mystery.
Think about the story you want your party to tell. Is it creative and edgy, or elegant and refined? Matching your act to your venue is the first step in telling that story beautifully.
Four Gert Lush Ideas for Your Festive Bash
Looking for some creative inspiration? Here are four of our favourite entertainment ideas that are a perfect match for a Bristol Christmas party. We've also included the latest price ranges to help with your budgeting.
The Themed Conundrum: A Murder Mystery
Get your guests channelling their inner detectives with a fully interactive murder mystery. Led by professional actors, your team will become the stars of a thrilling and hilarious whodunnit. It's a fantastic way to encourage collaboration and ensure everyone gets involved. In a city like Bristol, you can choose some brilliantly inventive themes.
Popular Themes: Give a nod to Bristol’s engineering heritage with a creative steampunk or nautical twist. Or, for something that feels right at home by the water, a thrilling harbour heist is a perfect choice.
Best For: Creative teams and office parties where you want a central activity that’s fun and highly interactive.
Typical Cost: £750 – £1,400
The Green Magician: Sustainable Wonder
A brilliant magician is always a crowd-pleaser, but in Bristol, you can even find entertainers who align with the city's green credentials. It's a slick, modern, and impressive form of entertainment that will leave your guests amazed.
Performance Styles: As well as the classic mingling close-up magic for receptions, look out for magicians offering an eco-friendly minimal-prop set. This clever, sustainable approach is not only impressive but also a great talking point for a conscious company.
Best For: Any event where you want to add a touch of modern sophistication and a unique, eco-friendly twist.
Typical Cost: £350 – £700
The Charming Casino: A Touch of Class
Bring the glamour of a casino to your party, but with a lovely local feel. A fun casino with classic blackjack and roulette is a fantastic way to create a social hub, encouraging friendly competition and getting guests to mingle.
Popular Themes: For a unique touch of local charm, a “Bristol Belle” night theme is a wonderful nod to the famous hot air balloon. It adds a whimsical, personal feel to a classic and sophisticated entertainment option.
Best For: Larger parties in warehouses or hotels where you want a stylish, interactive centrepiece.
Typical Cost: £550 – £1,000
The Modern Artist: A Caricaturist
A caricaturist is a fantastic way to provide both entertainment and a personalised souvenir. Guests love watching the artist create, and the end result is a brilliant keepsake. It’s a fun, light-hearted addition that brings a creative touch to your event.
Modern Options: Reflecting Bristol’s eco-conscious and digital vibe, you can choose artists who use eco paper, or better yet, go fully digital. A caricaturist creating animated digital GIFs of your guests is a brilliantly modern, fun, and sustainable option.
Best For: Receptions and creative parties where guests are socialising freely.
Typical Cost: £300 – £550
