Photo of JezO JezO "An evening at the JezO car crash magic show was amazing, the whole audience was entertained to an evening of magic, laughter and endless laughter . The show captured my attention from the very start with such a fast pace of a wonderful mix of magic jokes and endless props that combined led to the best night my family and I have experienced in such a long time truly amazing not to be missed. Wow, what a night my head is still spinning trying to work out the tricks. Thank you JezO" Based in Cambridge, England (25 miles from Bedford) Johnhenry Williamson - JezO car crash magic Photo of Flamenco y Danza/Grupo Flamenco de Londres Flamenco y Danza/Grupo Flamenco de Londres "Everybody enjoyed the evening, thank you. Grupo Flamenco de Londres offered our residents here @ West Hall a truly authentic Spanish Night.  Fenella, had lots of costume changes which made the whole experience very interesting seeing her array of authentic Spanish styles.    I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for that Spanish authenticity." Based in London, England (46 miles from Bedford) 17th April 2026 Sharon - Spanish Event, Anchor West Hall, West Byfleet, Surrey Photo of LavishLuna Circus LavishLuna Circus "On three separate occasions over the last four years I have reached out and hired Lorna for a varying range of events. From group Pole and hoop lessons in a female only environment a mini festival to dancing/entertainment alongside my partner who is an established DJ. This was solely based on following her incredible journey and watching her stand out head and shoulders above others through the medium of social media platforms - her passion and dedication to her chosen art is second to none. Not only is she an incredible performer and adaptable to every and any environment she is placed in she leads all she does whether that’s circus school training ! Her clothes line! dancing, pole, hooping, creating, her Advocating for herself and others and her beliefs, with a passion you wouldn’t ordinarily pair with someone so young. She is experienced, switched on and incredibly talented. I was only recently requesting to hire her for an annual event i hold in Bournemouth but unfortunately she was over seas. I cannot recommend her enough. She would be a credit to any one who has the luck to hire her or collaborate with her.

The outdoor acts include a wide range of acts suited to outdoor settings, such as stilt walkers, living statues, fire performers, roaming musicians, circus acts, carnival entertainers, face painters, balloon artists and mobile DJs with outdoor-ready equipment.
