Kids' parties in Bedford

Children's entertainer Bedford: magic shows for every age

Bedford parties often have a real spread of ages. Big brother, the birthday girl, a toddler cousin and a baby on someone's hip. A good children's entertainer Bedford families book needs to keep all of them happy at once, and that's exactly what we look for.

Bedford halls that welcome children's parties

Bedford Borough Council lists several community centres that can be hired for children's parties. Scott Hall on Barford Avenue has a good-sized main hall and says it can take a bouncy castle.

Cauldwell Community Centre on Althorpe Street also takes children's parties and has a small play area next to the car park, which is useful for letting off steam before the show. Do ask about parking, as spaces near some centres are limited on busy weekends.

The Jubilation Centre on Moulton Avenue has a main hall and a smaller one, so it can work for a modest party as well as a bigger crowd. Most of these centres are booked directly with the centre itself, so ring or email them for current availability and any rules about decorations or food.

One show, several ages

The trick with mixed ages is layering. Bright, silly moments for the little ones, and sneakier magic that the older kids (and the dads at the back) can puzzle over.

Tell us the age range when you enquire. It honestly changes who we'd recommend, because some entertainers are brilliant with toddlers and others really shine with ten-year-olds.

Mixed ages also means mixed attention spans. Expect the toddlers to wander off now and then, and that's fine. The entertainer will keep the show going for everyone else and pull them back in with something daft.

Why parents book a kids party magician in Bedford

Mainly so they can stop being the entertainment. Once the show starts, you're free to sort the food, chat to other parents and take photos.

Most of our entertainers also bring games, music and prizes, and many do balloon modelling too. So the whole party has a shape, not just one 30 minute slot in the middle. You'll know roughly how the afternoon will go before anyone arrives.

It also helps with the quieter children. A good entertainer draws them in gently without putting anyone on the spot.

Getting a quote

Tell us the date, time, hall and roughly how many children through the quote form. We'll reply with who's available and a clear price.

If it doesn't suit, just ignore us. We won't chase you, and there's no booking unless you confirm. That's a promise.

Parties in Kempston, Biddenham or out towards Sharnbrook are no trouble either. Just add the village or venue so we can match someone who covers that patch.

How booking works

  1. Tell us about the party

    Fill in one short form with the date, place, the child's age and how many are coming. It takes a couple of minutes.

  2. We find who's free

    A real person checks which entertainers suit your party and can make your date, then replies, usually the same day, with a price.

  3. You decide

    Have a think and ask us anything. There's no obligation, and nothing's booked until you say yes.

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.

We booked Matthew through Fine Entertainments having had no contact with either of them before but we needn't have worried. Fine Entertainments made the booking process simple and painless and were easy to communicate with and as for Matthew, he was fantastic. We are a…
