Paul the Magician was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. He had the entire room in awe with his unbelievable tricks and left us all wondering 'how on earth did he do that?!' On top of the magic, his humour was spot-on — the jokes, quick wit, and ad-libs had everyone belly laughing throughout the show. A huge shoutout as well to his lovely wife and assistant, Jane, who was fantastic and added so much warmth and charm to the performance. Together they make a truly brilliant team. Paul is a top-class entertainer and a true professional. Our whole group loved every minute, and we can’t wait to book them again for our next work event. Truly magical!

Please, just book Oli! I needed entertainment for a 30th birthday party themed around "A Midsummer Night’s Dream". While other performers dismissed the idea of tailoring their act, Oli embraced it wholeheartedly. He crafted a show inspired by the play, full of clever references and customised tricks—even referring to himself as “Puck”. This wasn’t just a themed booking; it was a showcase of Oli’s creativity, passion, and genuine talent for magic. Communication was smooth and efficient from the start, and Oli’s adaptability on the day was exceptional. When illness led to far fewer guests than expected, he calmly reworked the original plan with just a couple of hours’ notice, delivering three 30-minute “secret” shows instead of four shorter ones, plus a final group performance. His flexibility and cheerful approach made all the difference. On arrival, he was warm, relaxed, and immediately put everyone at ease. The performance itself was outstanding—funny, dramatic, and skilfully delivered. Even guests whose first language wasn’t English were completely engaged. I’ve already recommended Oli to others and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.

Jamie was a very friendly, professional, and most importantly fun addition to our company summer party. Everyone loved playing Blackjack with him and he thoroughly engaged the team. I greatly appreciated his flexibility and he went above and beyond to make the event amazing. With Jamie's help, many people said it had been the best party to date. Many thanks and we'd happily see you again

Amazing Magician, Ifty was absolutely brilliant. He really made the party something special for my Dad's 80th birthday and I would highly recommend him. His close up magic tricks and mind reading had us all amazed. The guests ranged from about 10 to 85 years and they all enjoyed it and found Ifty engaging and funny too. Ifty had good communication with us and was also flexible at the event, working around us when we were giving speeches etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Magic Mike I can honestly say that having Mike at our Lodge Ladies night in September 2022, transformed it from a good event into something really memorable. As arranged he arrived on time and set up without any fuss or involvement from us which really helped. Throughout the evening he moved from table to table performing various tricks in between courses, ensuring people weren’t disturbed whilst dining, but were thoroughly entertained in between. His comedy magic finale was really good fun with plenty of audience participation. You always knew where Mike was throughout the evening, because wherever there were roars of laughter and applause, that’s where he was. A really professional show, great tricks and a great personality, I am hopeful he will be available for our next function. James Cole Mexborough Lode Halifax.

We loved having Joseph at our party. He was early, got on with things, entertained our guests with some amazing and truly puzzling magic tricks! He was great value for money, caught up before the event and provided the perfect touches. Thank you Joseph!!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Your Guide to a Truly Magical Christmas Party Anywhere in the UK

When we think of a Christmas party, it’s not always about a massive, slick event in a city centre. Often, the most memorable and heartwarming celebrations happen a little closer to home. We’re talking about the parties in beautifully decorated village halls, cosy pubs, rustic barns, or even a magical marquee at the local golf club. These are the get-togethers with real charm and personality.

But how do you take a more intimate, local party and give it that extra sparkle? That professional touch that turns a nice evening into an unforgettable one? As event professionals, we know the answer is a brilliant entertainer. It’s the secret ingredient that adds a "wow" factor and creates a truly special atmosphere, no matter the size of your venue.

This is your guide to finding fantastic, scalable entertainment for your Christmas party, wherever you are in the UK, helping you to create a magical event with ease.

The Sparkle Factor: Why a Touch of Entertainment Makes All the Difference

In a smaller, more intimate setting, the right entertainment can have a huge impact. It’s not just about filling time; it’s about bringing everyone together. When you’ve got a close-knit team, a community group, or a large family gathering, a shared experience is incredibly powerful. A brilliant entertainer provides that focal point, creating a collective moment of laughter, wonder, or fun that becomes a cherished memory for the whole group.

It’s about adding something unexpected. Your guests might be expecting mince pies and a Christmas playlist in a familiar setting like the community centre, but they won’t be expecting a professional magician to read their minds, or to find themselves embroiled in a hilarious whodunnit. This element of surprise is what elevates your get-together and makes your guests feel truly treated.

From the Village Hall to the Golf Club: Perfect Pairings for Your Venue

Across the UK, we’re blessed with a wonderful variety of local venues that are perfect for a festive celebration. The key is choosing entertainment that works with the space you have.

Here are some classic local venues and the entertainment that suits them down to the ground:

  • Village Halls and Community Centres: These are fantastic blank canvases. They offer the space and flexibility to do something really interactive. A cosy Murder Mystery is a brilliant choice, as you have the room for actors to move around and for guests to get into character.
  • Barns and Marquees/Tipis: With their rustic charm and magical atmosphere, these venues are perfect for entertainment that adds to the festive feel. A Caricaturist sketching guests by fairy light is a lovely touch, and you can easily fit a compact Fun Casino set-up in a corner to create a hub of activity.
  • Local Pubs and Golf Clubs: These familiar, comfortable settings are ideal for more intimate entertainment. A magician performing roaming close-up magic as they move between groups is perfect. Alternatively, for a seated audience, a living-room style parlour set can create a wonderfully personal and captivating show.

The great thing about the entertainment options we’ve chosen is that they are all designed to be flexible, fitting beautifully into the unique spaces that make local parties so special.

Four Fantastic Ideas to Delight Your Guests

Ready for some inspiration? Here are four of our favourite entertainment ideas that are perfectly scaled for more intimate Christmas parties across the UK. We've also included the latest price guides to help you with your planning.

The Cosy Conundrum: A Murder Mystery

This is a wonderfully interactive and fun way to spend an evening. A murder mystery gets everyone talking, laughing, and working together to solve a light-hearted crime, guided by professional actors. It’s a full evening's entertainment in one package.

  • Popular Themes: You can choose a theme that perfectly suits a charming, local setting. A cosy “Vicarage Whodunnit” has a classic, gentle feel, while a winter wonderland plot is perfect for getting everyone into the festive spirit.
  • Best For: Community groups, office parties, or large family gatherings where you want a fun, interactive centrepiece.
  • Typical Cost: £700 – £1,300

The Intimate Illusionist: A Magician

A magician brings a real touch of magic to any party. The wonder of seeing something impossible happen right in front of you is a universal delight, and it’s even more impactful in a smaller group.

  • Performance Styles: For a party where guests are mingling, roaming close-up magic is a brilliant icebreaker. For a seated event or a gathering in a smaller space, a living-room style parlour set is a fantastic option. This is a more formal show, but performed for a small audience, it feels incredibly personal and exclusive.
  • Best For: Any party where you want to add a touch of sophistication and create moments of pure astonishment.
  • Typical Cost: £300 – £650

The Compact Casino: A Touch of Fun

You don’t need a huge ballroom to enjoy the thrill of a casino night. Modern fun casinos are perfectly designed to fit into smaller spaces, bringing all the glamour and excitement on a more intimate scale.

  • Performance Styles: With compact 1–2 table set-ups, you can easily create a casino corner in a village hall, marquee, or pub function room. Professional croupiers will teach your guests the games, and everyone can enjoy a festive flutter with fun money.
  • Best For: Parties where you want a fun, social activity that guests can dip in and out of throughout the evening.
  • Typical Cost: £500 – £950

The Charming Keepsake: A Caricaturist

A caricaturist is a lovely, light-hearted addition to a Christmas party. It’s entertaining to watch, and it provides your guests with a wonderful, personalised memento to take home and remember the night by.

  • Modern Options: Artists offer quick paper keepsakes, capturing a fun likeness in just a few minutes. Many also offer simple digital options, where the drawings can be emailed to guests afterwards, making them easy to share online.
  • Best For: Relaxed, social get-togethers where guests are mingling and chatting.
  • Typical Cost: £250 – £500
