The average price for children's entertainers on Gig Heaven is £210, with rates from £75 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.
