Weekend halls around Reading

Caversham Hall is a favourite for children's parties. It only takes party bookings at weekends, bouncy castles are welcome, and parties of up to six hours come at a fixed rate, so you're not watching the clock while you set up and clear away. It's in a residential part of Caversham, a short hop over the bridge from the town centre.

South of the river, Reading Borough Council hires out Hexham Road Community Centre in Whitley for parties. It's single-storey and accessible, with a main hall, a small hall and a kitchen. Note that whoever books has to be at least 21.

Both venues are booked directly, so check availability with the hall and send us the same date at the same time. It saves a round of emails later.

Making the most of a long hall booking

With a generous slot you can spread things out. Bouncy castle for the first hour, food in the middle, then the entertainer to finish things off while parents start packing up the party bags.

Or flip it. Some entertainers like to start the party, get everyone settled and finish with games before the food. There's no single right way.

Either way, a clear plan makes the day easier. Share your rough timings with the entertainer and they'll fit the show around them.

Choosing a kids party magician in Reading

Tell us the age of the birthday child and the guests. Our pages for 6 to 8 year olds and toddlers give a feel for how shows change with age.

Most of our entertainers bring their own music and can include games, prizes and balloon modelling. We'll confirm what's included when we quote.

If your child has a favourite theme, mention it. Not every entertainer can do every theme, but it helps us find a good match. Superheroes, princesses and dinosaurs come up a lot, and you'd be surprised how often a little magic can be shaped around them.

Quick to book

Fill in the quote form on your phone in a couple of minutes. You'll hear back with availability and a price. Nothing's booked until you say yes.

Prefer to talk it through? Mention that on the form and we'll get back to you by phone instead of email.

We'll keep things friendly and straightforward. No pushy follow-ups, just the information you need to decide.

9 year old birthday party. 10 boisterous boys. Magic Dave managed the room brilliantly and captivated the audience. Caused peels of laughter, gasps of amazement and guffaws from the adults at gags aimed over the audience's heads. Definitely recommend.

Jamie was a huge hit with 18 year olds! I was worried about entertaining them but Jamie absolutely nailed it. They were completely blown away (as were we) and it provided a fantastic new dimension for the party. I would definitely recommend Jamie for any…

Questions parents ask

What does a children's entertainer in Reading usually cost?

Party shows around Reading are typically £250 to £450, depending on date, length, location and what's included. We'll quote you exactly before anything is confirmed.

Can the entertainer work alongside a bouncy castle?

Yes, as long as the bouncing stops while the show is on. Children can't concentrate on magic with a castle wobbling behind them. Plan them as separate parts of the party.

Do you cover Wokingham and Henley?

Yes. We find entertainers across Reading and Berkshire, including Wokingham, Earley, Woodley, Tilehurst and Henley-on-Thames.
