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

    • Just had Hussein and his team redecorate our flat. Did a very good and efficient job and is a nice person to boot!
    • No, you didn’t write the article. But unless you’re a Telegraph subscriber, you haven’t read the article either. Have you read it? The psychopath Telegraph lives behind a (rubber) paywall but using this kind of sensationalist, accusatory headline gets it traction on social media. The headline becomes more important than the article; many will see it and some will take it as a statement of fact. And it will be shown on endless “let’s take a look at the papers” segments on TV and radio for 12 hours or more in every news day. And so, a tiny number of reactionary, right wing hacks has a vastly disproportionate influence on the popular conversation despite the papers they work for being bought by almost nobody these days. 
    • Trelco are wonderful. James has been super reliable and they are a gem to have around us locally. Trust them completely, will give honest advice and have very fair pricing for all small work around the house or bigger plumbing projects. I've used them multiple times and they will always find the time to help, even when they are busy they will pop round to make sure we aren't stranded which is a nice touch.
