Okay, so you might like one, but in our extensive experience, when children say they want a Minecraft party, or Baby Shark or Roblox or Spiderman or even a cow dog zebra party (yes, that was Joy’s 3yo’s very unyielding request!) what they really mean is that they want cake, balloons and paper plates in that theme! Oh, and to maybe dress up too. That’s it!
If you would really like a character to host your party, mostly we recommend you choose a bronze (one hour) or crystal (30 min) package – certainly the best option for princess appearances. If you would like a mascot pop in, we highly recommend our friends at Prime Parties and Mascots, Leeds.
If you would like a 2 hour party with us – our most popular and recommended packages, and have a theme in mind, please read on…
We have done a million, cajillion different themes over the years but guess what – we have found that ‘general’ party entertainment by our entertainers not dressed up as characters works best for the majority of guests who attend a 2 hour party. (Feel free to book a character for a one hour party however.)
As experienced entertainers, we know that:
🥳 not everyone has played Roblox or are so into Miraculous or Scooby Doo that they understand the nuances of the games and references made in a themed party; 🥳 children aged 4 and under do not understand themed games/ characters. They just need our expertise in providing the activities and approach that is suitable for that age range without a cumbersome or scary costume! Let us provide the best possible party entertainment for preschoolers! 🥳 some boys will immediately switch off if they see a princess leading the party. We are fab at what we do, but it can be harder for us initially to make them feel part of the party; 🥳 long dresses, wigs and non-breathable superhero fabrics get in the way of us bringing all our energy; 🥳 some characters such as Mrs Incredible and Elsa look great, but are ‘sensible’ and don’t have the silly/ fun/ energy that our 2 hour parties are so famous for.
So all in all, 90% of the time, we recommend the entertainer of a 2 hour party comes as their default character – eg Sunshine Sarah, Fairy Liquid (Joy), Pixie Snows (Caroline), Stephtacular etc. They can still do games and music that match your theme but you can trust them to provide the max amount of fun!
We do make exceptions, however, so keep reading if you want a 2 hour themed party! Most character parties are hosted by Caroline so book early to avoid disappointment!
Our most popular themed parties

All your favourite party activities but brought up to date! Our usual entertainment is traditional and new party games, mini disco, magic, ballooning – great for a wide variety of ages.

Princess (and Heroes) Party. Click here.
Book a character entertainer who can host as a specific princess and she will provide games and activities creatively drawing in the theme from start to finish! Alternatively our entertainers who don’t dress according to the specific theme still can play themed games and music, so no problem there.

Other themes
We have done a huge number of different themed children’s parties over the years from:
Cheerleaders v Ninja parties
Dr Who
Toy story/Disney – with appearances such as Fizz Lightyear (Buzz’s female cousin)
Mr Men parties
Minecraft
Scooby Doo
Balloon workshops
Knights and Maidens/Robin Hood party

If you’d like a party not listed above, we can either make reference to your theme (e.g mentioning LOL OMG Dolls, Paw Patrol or Peppa Pig etc) – this option is free of charge. However, if you’d like a fully-thought-through theme, with all games and activities as far as possible tying in with the theme, this starts at just £25 extra. We can of course quote for extra props, costumes etc that need to be brought in, should you wish. Our creativity is pretty expansive, you decide on the budget!
