We are in the market for an entertainer for our daughter's birthday party which will take place in a church hall. I've just been quoted a staggering ?250 from a magician we enjoyed at a friend's party recently.


Are they all that expensive?!


Also - this person was quoting for 2 hours, saying he didn't take 1 hour bookings. Is this also standard?


Any tips/recommendations appreciated...

Mr Fruitcake was a huge hit at my son's 4th birthday. The kids absolutely loved him and he performed at the nursery as we are having the kitchen done at home. My son is normally quite shy ? have never seen him so engaged and happy at a party.

Hello,


Last Sunday we had Miss Danni from GDND academy and she did a great Entertainment for my son's 5th birthday party

IT was a street dance/dance game party


She entertained 22 kids at my place, mainly boys, (only 3 girls)... so challenging! 19 kids followed the entire entertainement (1hr) totally amused and captivated!!


My son is used to attend her street dance class at StBarnabas Parish Church every Wednesday.


She is furthemore also much more affordable than the others entertainers we've had over the last 3 yrs .... where all those others was AT LEAST ?100 per hr!


Here are her details if you want to have a look!


Miss Danni

GDND ACADEMY

School founder & Principle


www.gdnd.co.uk

07904 424 504


With her good price, I've been able to also hire a face painter (I've used Sue, recommanded on EDF and she was amazing too!she is childminder over the week so has a great approach of the kids and is using very good brand face painting products as I was very concerned by that due to my son's extremly sensitive skin)


Finally, I extended the budget package of the party by using a very nice local photographer recommanded to me after a post on the family room discussion section...called Tricia (can give you her d?tails if you want to)


It was a fantastic party and all the kids (especially my son) had an amazing time! Definitly a great souvenir for my boy!


Good luck!

I've booked Danni at GDND academy for my son's 5th birthday too - sounds like great fun and a bit different from the usual magician / clown type entertainment :)


Thanks for the recommendation!

We had a pirate party with Lucy sparkles this weekend for my so. Who was 4 but there was childre there aged 4-7 and she kept them all engaged and very happy with how much the children enjoyed themselves. It was ?80 for 45 mins which was more than enough as they were sweaty messes and desperate for a drink and rest after that.

We took our son to a 4th birthday party last weekend with Fairy Gossamer and she was amazing - the kids were all captivated and loved every minute. Our boy is a couple of years younger but was still completely entranced. She was really lovely, a total pro and made the whole party super easy. We will definitely be using her or her husband (Wally the Wizard) when the time comes and would highly recommend to anyone. Their website is http://www.wallyandgossamer.com

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
