5/5 from 263 reviews
Photo of DoubleAceMagician DoubleAceMagician "Adnan was an incredible addition to our wedding! With over 100 guests, he managed to engage everyone with his charming personality and jaw-dropping magic. From close-up tricks to unforgettable moments, like making objects vanish in guests' hands, he had everyone talking. His professionalism, warmth, and talent truly made our day extra special." Based in Leicester, England (24 miles from Derby) Arjit Singh - Wedding Event Photo of Adam Edgeley Children’s Magic Entertainer Adam Edgeley Children’s Magic Entertainer "Adam provided a great hour of entertainment for my daughter's 6th birthday party. He started entertaining the children with some plate spinning to focus their attentions, even before the formally agreed 1 hour of entertainment that had been agreed, which the kids really enjoyed. After that, he got to work. It was funny and an engaging show and would recommend Adam for similar events."

Jay from Blooming Circus is an amazing magician and his circus workshops went down a treat with all the kids. I can’t recommend these guys highly enough" Based in Sheffield, England (32 miles from Derby) 1st December 2025 Tim Marston - Family Party Photo of The Wedding Crèchers The Wedding Crèchers "It was reassuring The staff are clearly experienced working with children and quickly made all the littles at my sister's wedding feel secure and happy. My 2 boys were involved in different activities which suited them as their interests are varied. It was reassuring to see that my boys were not frantically searching for me but in fact were happily engaged in activities with the staff and other children. I loved that they brought home their completed crafts too, momentums from their aunties big day xx" Based in Dudley, England (39 miles from Derby) Rachael Othala - Wedding Photo of Ilan The Robotic Man Ilan The Robotic Man "The evening went off brilliantly and that was thanks to Ilan.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for children's entertainers on Gig Heaven is £210, with rates from £60 to £700+. Cost varies based on the entertainer's experience, the length of the party and what is included in the package. Many children's entertainers offer themed packages that combine games, music, magic and balloon modelling.

Most children's entertainers tailor their shows to suit specific age groups, typically ranging from toddlers through to children aged 12. Some performers offer different packages for younger children (ages 2 to 5) and older children (ages 6 to 12). It is worth checking each entertainer's profile for the age range they specialise in.

The children's entertainers on Gig Heaven offer a wide variety of show types including magic shows, balloon modelling, face painting, puppet shows, comedy acts, themed character appearances, party games and interactive storytelling. Many entertainers combine several of these elements into a single package.

Space requirements vary depending on the type of entertainment. A face painter or balloon modeller needs very little room, while a magic show or interactive game session typically requires a clear area of around 3 by 3 metres. Gig Heaven recommends discussing the venue layout with the entertainer in advance.

Most children's entertainers offer packages lasting between one and three hours, depending on the type of entertainment and the age of the children. Younger children generally suit shorter shows of around one hour, while older children can enjoy longer sessions.
