The children had the best time having their faces painted and balloons made for them. The face paint designs were incredible and so were the balloons. The girls particularly enjoyed wearing the balloon wings which were made, they kept them on all day! Fantastic service, would highly recommend.

Joey is very lovely and super quick to paint so 2 hrs with her is worth it.. Her workmanship is superb. Lots of designs to offer as well. All my guests were amazed with her skill and kept telling me they enjoyed their experience with her. I would like to hire her again for my next parties, either for adults or children. I highly recommend her, you'll never regret it!

"Mr.Kinder gave a lovely professional show and kept 17 kids thoroughly entertained the whole time.
There was a good mix of activities and a warm and encouraging atmosphere throughout.
The show was well-paced with quiet times as well as rip-roaring fun.
A great show.
Thank you Mr.Kinder!"

Your Go-To Guide for Children's Entertainment Anywhere in the UK
Planning a party for the little ones, whether it’s in a bustling town or a quiet corner of the countryside, is always a brilliant excuse for a get-together. The goal is simple: a day filled with laughter, fun, and happy memories. But the reality of keeping a dozen or more children entertained can feel like a mammoth task.
As event professionals, we’ve seen it all, and we're here to share the single most valuable secret to a successful and stress-free children's event: hiring a fantastic professional entertainer. They are the magic ingredient that turns a good party into an unforgettable one. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about finding the perfect children's entertainment, wherever you are in the UK.
Why a Pro Entertainer is Your Best Friend for Party Planning
Let's be clear, a professional children's entertainer does so much more than just a 45-minute show. They are an expert in managing fun. From the moment they arrive, they take the pressure squarely off your shoulders, creating an atmosphere of excitement and making sure all the young guests are happily engaged.
This means you’re free to be the host. You can welcome guests, organise the food, and actually have a conversation with other parents without one eye constantly on the kids. A pro knows how to handle a group, adapt to the space, and even cope with the classic unpredictability of the British weather. They are, in short, your key to a smooth-running and genuinely enjoyable day.
The A-List of Children's Entertainers Across the UK
The world of children's entertainment is wonderfully diverse. You can find brilliant professionals specialising in all sorts of fun, ready to tailor their skills to your specific event.
The Roving Fun-Bringers
These entertainers are perfect for events where guests are spread out and mingling, like a village fete or a farm open day. They create continuous, interactive fun wherever they go.
Face Painters: A true classic for a reason. A skilled face painter can transform children into anything their imagination desires, from majestic lions to sparkling fairies. It's a wonderfully creative activity that provides a brilliant photo opportunity too.
Balloon Twisters: Prepare for some serious 'wow' moments. A modern balloon modeller is a genuine artist, twisting and shaping balloons into incredible creations like animals, characters, and wearable accessories. It's a captivating performance that leaves every child with a brilliant memento to take home.

If you want to create a focal point for your party where everyone gathers for a shared experience, these are the entertainers for you.
Children’s Magicians: A specialist children's magician is a guaranteed hit. Their shows are a perfect mix of mind-boggling tricks, silly comedy, and lots of audience participation, ensuring the kids are completely hooked from start to finish.
Clowns: Today's party clowns are masters of fun and games. They are highly skilled performers who excel at slapstick, juggling, and creating a joyful, inclusive atmosphere that brings even the quietest children into the fold.
Perfect Entertainment for Every Kind of UK Get-Together
From a small birthday in the garden to a huge school fair, a professional entertainer can elevate any occasion.
Birthdays and School/PTA Events
These are the cornerstone of children's events. For a birthday party, a great entertainer will make the birthday boy or girl feel like the star of the show. For a larger school or PTA event, they have the experience to manage big crowds, keeping the energy high and providing a professional attraction that makes the fundraiser a huge success.
Village Fetes and Farm Open Days
There's nothing quite like a traditional British community event. A children's entertainer is a fantastic addition to a village fete or a farm open day. They act as a huge draw for families, provide a memorable highlight for the kids, and add a layer of professional, organised fun to the day's proceedings.
Great British Venues and Top Party Themes
A brilliant venue and a fun theme can set the stage for a truly special day.
Making the Most of Your UK Party Space
You don't need a fancy hotel to host a brilliant party. Some of the best events happen in wonderfully simple and versatile spaces.
Barns: A barn provides a fantastic, rustic backdrop for a party. It's spacious, sheltered from the elements, and perfect for a mini disco or a magic show.
Village Greens: The heart of the community, a village green is an ideal spot for a circus workshop or an entertainer who can lead classic party games with plenty of space to run around.
Marquees: A marquee is a brilliantly flexible option. It can be set up in a garden, a field, or at a fete, providing a dedicated and weatherproof space for your entertainment.
Farmhouse Gardens: A lovely, relaxed setting for a children's party. A face painter can set up under a tree, or a magician can perform on the lawn for a truly memorable garden party.
Cracking Themes for a Memorable Party
A fun theme can tie everything together and get the kids buzzing with excitement.
Farmyard fun & nature explorer: A perfect theme for a countryside setting. An entertainer can lead the kids on a nature trail or theme their games around farm animals.
Classic party games: You can't beat the classics! An entertainer can lead brilliant, organised versions of pass the parcel, musical statues, and sack races that get everyone involved.
Magic & mini disco: The perfect combination of a captivating show followed by a chance for the kids to burn off some energy dancing to their favourite pop songs.
Circus skills: A wonderfully interactive theme where kids get to be the stars. A circus entertainer can teach them fun and safe skills like juggling, plate spinning, and hula hooping.
Let's Talk Money: A Guide to UK Party Costs
So, what's the bottom line? For a professional children's entertainer in the UK, you can generally expect to budget between £150 and £320. The final price will depend on their experience, the length of the booking, and your location.
This represents a fantastic investment in the success of your event. You're paying for a reliable, insured professional who brings all their own equipment and years of expertise. More importantly, you're paying for a stress-free day where you get to enjoy the party as much as the kids.
