Having had a really brilliant party for my son's 4th birthday last weekend I wanted to say how wonderful our entertainer was. She's called Dainty Sue and is localish, living in Bellingham. I know from time to time people ask for recommendations for entertainers, so here's a heartfelt one. NB I don't have any connection with Dainty Sue, commercial or otherwise, apart from being a very happy customer.


She did two hours for us, starting with a magic show - all the kids and adults sat down and watched and she did some brilliant tricks ('proper magic' as my husband would say, who has high expectations of these things!) and kept the kids captivated and often laughing their heads off for the best part of an hour. Then while they had tea she made some brilliant balloon sculptures - dragons and twisty sceptre things with hearts on top etc - then after tea she did a disco with bubbles and foam and games, sleeping bunnies etc. All the kids had a great time and lots of the adults commented on how good she was too.


She engaged with all the children, including the little 12-24 month siblings and was really natural with them. With some entertainers I've seen I've not been convinced they actually like children, if you know what I mean, which is certainly not the case with Dainty Sue - she was lovely and warm and approachable and has young kids herself. Anyway, I've had some really helpful advice on parties in the family room in previous years, so I hope this recommendation will help some of you plan lovely parties for your kids. Here's Dainty Sue's website: Dainty Sue. She's the best entertainer I've seen.

Yes I've seen her a few times and booked her for my children in the past - aged 3 and 5 at the time. She was very good at keeping nearly 40 children mostly under 6 years old entertained!


Another happy customer. No relation or friend!

I'm reviving this ancient (2011) thread to say Dainty Sue is still brilliant. My daughter, who was only a toddler when we first booked Sue, had a fabulous Dainty Sue party for her 6th birthday at the weekend. We've been booking Dainty Sue twice a year for our kids' birthday parties for several years and every party has been great. I've also been to lots of kids' parties in the past few years and Dainty Sue is still the best entertainer I've seen. As before, I have no personal or commercial relationship with Sue - this is just a heartfelt recommendation for a fab entertainer.

      That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.

      Venue hire suggestions

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
