We're based just up the A43 in Corby, so this is very much home turf. Fill in one short form and a real person gets back to you, usually the same day, with who's free on your date and a price. No obligation, and nothing gets booked until you've said yes.
What a kids party magician in Northampton usually brings
Most of our entertainers run a party in two halves. A proper magic show first, with plenty of shouting out and helpers picked from the audience, then games and music to burn off the cake-fuelled energy.
Balloon modelling often finishes things off, so every child walks out clutching a sword, a dog or a slightly wonky flower. And there's nearly always a moment just for the birthday child, which tends to be the bit grandparents ask to see on your phone afterwards.
Ask about any of this when you enquire and we'll tell you what the entertainer on your date usually does.
Halls Northampton families book
Duston Community Centre on Pendle Road takes birthday party bookings through the parish council's facilities office, and the St Luke's Centre in Old Duston has a main hall plus smaller rooms that suit a tighter guest list. Both are worth a call early, because Saturday afternoons go quickly.
If you've got an older child who'd turn their nose up at a hall, there's another option. Clip 'n Climb Northampton runs climbing parties with a party area afterwards. Some families book the climbing for school friends and then a smaller magic party at home for cousins, which keeps everyone happy.
In summer, Abington Park is the obvious spot for a picnic-style get-together. Just have a plan B ready if the weather turns, because it usually does.
Matching the show to the age group
A three-year-old and a nine-year-old want completely different parties. Little ones love bubbles, simple tricks and lots of joining in, while older kids want to be properly fooled and will happily try to catch the magician out.
Tell us the age when you enquire and we'll put forward someone who suits it. Have a look at our toddler party entertainers or the 9 to 12 year olds page if you want a feel for the difference.
Booking without the faff
Pop your date, rough start time, the venue (or just the area) and the number of children into the quote form. That's genuinely all we need to get started.
We'll come back with options. If none of them feel right, you've lost nothing but two minutes of your evening.
If you'd prefer a chat first, mention that on the form and we'll ring you back instead. Some parents like to talk it through, especially for a first party.
