Our tried-and-tested party format is simple, fun, and keeps the energy flowing! We start with a party game, followed by one song’s worth of disco dancing—then repeat the cycle to keep everyone entertained.
After about an hour,(DEPENDING ON THE PARTY TIME CHOSEN) the children take a break to enjoy their food before diving back into the fun. In the second half, we continue with the same lively mix of games and dancing.
Please allow us 30/45 minutes to set up/down ur equipment
Yes! We normally pause for a food break about halfway through the party (usually after an hour).
The break can be as short or as long as you’d like—most families allow around 20–30 minutes. During this time, your entertainer will keep the atmosphere lively with background music.
Once the children have eaten, we’ll gather everyone together to sing a big “Happy Birthday” to the guest of honor as you bring out the cake (if you’re including one).
Prefer to serve food after the party instead? No problem! We just suggest a quick 5-minute refreshment break during the event (for drinks and light snacks) to keep the children energized until mealtime.
This excludes 1 hour parties
We recommend 2 hours as the perfect party length for a children’s party (4- 11 years) and 1 hour for a tiny tot party.
Extra time can be added to any of our children's parties at additional cost. (£50 per hour)
