Hi,

My partner and I are getting married later this year and as we have a number of children coming, then we are looking for an entertainer who can perhaps take some pressure off parents and also make the day a little more fun for the kids.

The challenge is that there is a real mix of ages, there will be around 10 children between ages of 2-5 years and then around 12 children between ages of 6-10. I am assuming that what may work for the lower age range, might not work for the slightly older group. Does this mean perhaps two different types of entertainment or could there be a 1 size fits all?

We have a separate room as part of the venue for an entertainer, plus also going to hire some childcare/nannies to help with 'crowd control'. So any advice or tips for this type of children's event are appreciated and of course any recommendations for specific entertainers warmly welcome.

Thank you!

We went to an engagement party recently where they had an "entertainer" for about 2 hours, dealing with roughly the same age group. They had 3 set ups...


- HUGE box of Lego

- colouring / drawing

- bead station where they could make necklaces / key rings / bracelets


The team of 2 interacted wth the children across the 3 activities.

Congrats, and how lovely to have all the children coming. :)


I recommend the Bedlam Bunch, who are organised by Ros Parker. http://thebedlambunch.co.uk/


We have had characters from the Bedlam Bunch at school events and my daughter's birthday party. I've also seen them working together in their group format at festivals, and the children are really enchanted by their work. With two or more entertainers working together, it's easier to accommodate the different ages. You can also customise your entertainment package to include creative activities.


Good luck, and have fun! xx

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
