Danny performed at our school and the feed back that I had from the staff was 'Brilliant', they thoroughly enjoyed it. His juggling skills were amazing in what was almost pitch black and it finished with a firework spectacular.

The performer from the Divine Company was excellent, and was willing to be flexible to fit the needs of our event on the night. That came after an extremely efficient booking process during which the company worked with us to provide what would work best given the nature of the event.

Fire Eaters in the UK: a buyer’s guide that actually helps
Thinking about hiring a fire eater for your event in the UK? Good call. A skilled fire performer adds instant theatre, epic photos, and that “wow” moment guests talk about for years. In this guide we explain what to book, where it works best, how pricing usually lands, and the simple steps to secure a safe, professional act that fits your brief and budget.
What a fire eater adds that other acts can’t
A great fire act brings atmosphere before a single flame is lit. Costuming, character, and clever pacing turn a normal arrival into a grand entrance. Expect a mix of close-up “walkabout” moments and a feature set that becomes the centrepiece. Think crisp choreography to a soundtrack, precise control with torches and fans, and the high-impact images that light up your socials. We plan the reveal, match the style to your theme, and make the fire feel part of the story rather than a random stunt.
Where fire eaters shine
Village fêtes
We use short ambient sets during peak footfall to keep energy up without blocking walkways. Walkabout fire eating and small choreographed moments work well around the main ring or the raffle tent. It’s interactive, friendly, and suits mixed ages.
Stately home weddings
The best slot is twilight. We set a safe semicircle on a lawn or gravel terrace, keep the line of sight clear for photographers, and deliver one feature routine between the speeches and the first dance. Couples love a gentle meet-and-greet with small flames during drinks, followed by a wow-factor finale.
Holiday park shows
These venues want pace and repeatability. We recommend a tightly timed 12–15 minute feature for the main stage, with high visibility props like fans and staff. Add a pre-show teaser at the entrance for crowd build.
Seasonal light trails
Fire fits beautifully with winter trails. Short bursts at waypoints help with flow, and costuming can lean into frosty palettes or woodland folklore. We keep fuels insulated and wind plans strict, with LED fallback if conditions turn.
Spaces that work beautifully
Stately home lawns
Level ground and a clear audience arc make these a dream. We confirm a safe radius, identify wind direction points, and keep the fuel station discreet behind a windbreak.
Barn courtyards
Rustic courtyards deliver natural containment and lovely acoustics. We check overheads, flag exits, and position the act away from doorways to prevent bottlenecks.
Hotel grounds
Great for weddings and corporate parties. We coordinate with duty managers, respect smoking areas, and avoid air intakes. Lighting is key; warm practicals can be dimmed to let the flames pop.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a fire eater for hire in the UK?
On Poptop, the cost of hiring a fire eater in the UK is affordable. You can budget about £200 to £2750 for an event. The pricing depends on the requested duration of the performance.
What are the security requirements for a fire show?
No security requirements are needed aside from fire extinguishers.

Booking Protection
Book with peace of mind and benefit from booking protection and money-back guarantee.
Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Town squares
Plenty of space and built-in audiences. We work with stewards for cordons and signage, then shape a feature set that won’t spill beyond your licence conditions.
Styles and themes you can lean into
Classic circus
Striped costuming, upbeat soundtrack, and clean lines. Ideal for family crowds and traditional fêtes.
Medieval fayre
Earthy colours, leather accents, and storytelling. Pair with live drum tracks for atmosphere.
Fantasy and dragons
Capes, scales, and bold silhouettes, with fans and staff creating “wings” of flame. Perfect for themed weddings and comic-con style gatherings.
Winter light trail
Frosted makeup, lantern motifs, and slower, mesmerising sequences. The contrast between cold air and warm flame looks incredible on camera.
What affects the price
Most UK bookings land between £300 and £750. Where your quote sits depends on a few levers:
Duration and structure
A single showstopper is cheaper than a night with multiple ambient sets plus a headline routine.
Solo or duo
Duo acts add symmetry and larger formations. They also cover each other for continuous flow.
Travel and call time
Remote sites or long waits between sets increase the fee.
Production add-ons
Sound reinforcement, custom soundtrack edits, or additional LED sets for early evening will nudge costs up.
Seasonality
Bonfire Night week, Christmas light switch-ons, and bank holidays book early and price at a premium.
Typical packages that work
Meet-and-greet glow
Two or three short ambient appearances across arrivals and drinks. Gentle flames, close-up moments, friendly chat.
Feature spotlight
One 10–15 minute set at dusk with choreography, big beats, and a tidy finale.
Mixed evening
Ambient micro-shows early on, then the feature routine after speeches or awards.
LED contingency
A no-flame version of the choreography with illuminated props for venues that can’t permit open fire.
Safety and compliance without the stress
This is where we’re meticulous. Professional fire performers carry public liability insurance, risk assessments, and method statements. We confirm ground conditions, wind thresholds, minimum performance distances, fuel types, and emergency kit. You’ll see a neat, contained fuel station, a fire blanket close by, and clear communication with your venue manager. Indoors is usually a no for flames, but LED options keep the look without the risk.
What your venue needs to know
Exact location and footprint
We share a simple plan with safety zones and audience arcs.
Timing
Dusk is ideal. If your schedule runs earlier, consider an LED warm-up then a flame finale at sunset.
Power and sound
If you want a soundtrack, we either plug into your PA or bring a compact battery unit.
Weather plan
Wind is the boss. We agree thresholds, sheltered performance options, or an LED switch if needed.
Stewarding
For public events and town squares, light stewarding keeps the arc clear and maximises impact.
How to brief your fire act

Budgeting made simple
If your focus is value
Aim for a single feature set near sunset. Expect around £300–£400 for a solo, travel dependent.
If you want balance
Add a short ambient set earlier and a feature later. Plan for £450–£600.
If you’re going big
Book a duo or extend the evening with multiple reveals. Budget £650–£750 and up with production extras.

How many fire eaters will perform?
Only one fire eater will perform. However, you can always discuss with our supplier if, for any reason, you want more than one performer. The performer could also be male or female depending on your preference. The performer can do a range of activities like fire juggling or eating. Our performers will be available to set up 1 hour before the event starts.
How long will the show last?
You can determine this. Though the most common duration option is between 1 hour to 3 hours, the duration of the show depends on the agreement that you have with your fire eater for hire. Some fire eaters have the option of 3×10 mins set. Feel free to discuss your preferred duration with our suppliers. The cost will depend on the requested duration of the performance. Note that you may be charged an additional fee if you request more time.
