I started my entertaining career at Haven Holidays (as it was known back then) after getting the performance bug at a Saturday stage school held at Roedean School (my dad loved to brag he had a daughter at Roedean...) and acting in numerous pantos and shows. My most favourite memory from childhood is phoning Live and Kicking back when it was still 081 811 8181 (try saying that without singing it!) and speaking to Take That in the hotseat. Ah, good memories...
Ok, I'm rambling. I went on to audition for a Fairy Entertainment company in London which was an incredible experience and led me to start my own company 'Fairy Dust Events'. This went from strength to strength and was becoming so popular that when I had my first child I wasn't able to give it the time needed to grow which was super frustrating. I decided to sell the company to my very best friend who has done some amazing things and continues to inspire me everyday. Did I mention I also helped found a circus school over in Worthing? This led me to make my own company Circus Brighton which specialises in circus skills entertainment and enabling children (and adults!) to experience circus for themselves, plus indulging my other love of fire performing!
After having my third child (yep, crazy!) I really missed entertaining and children's parties so I restarted my career as a solo artist, or rather, solo entertainer. Circus Brighton is also my baby and has been running now for over 10 years providing the best in circus entertainers and performers - check it out HERE!
So, I've revamped my website and upgraded my kit and discovered I love entertaining at parties and events even more than before! I've come back with a new found passion and different perspective now I'm a mum of three and am so excited about what the future holds for entertainment and the party world!
Email me at fairyentertainer@gmail.com for a quote with your location and preferred date (if you have one), and I'll get back to you asap with the price and availability. Discounts are available for some time slots or I can work around any time you may already have arranged with your venue. I'm usually booked up a couple of months in advance but do have the ocassional slot available last minute.
For the two hour parties I break half way through for your party tea. So, if your party is 3 - 5pm we'll stop at 2pm for your party food. I'll be resetting for the second half and then will join the children to have some fun and give you a hand where possible!
For one hour parties it's best to either book me for 15 minutes after your party time to ensure all the children have arrived and then do their party tea after I'm finished, or book my entertainment for the first hour (as I have great welcome games and fun for the children as they arrive!) and have the party tea when I'm finished giving you more time for the children to eat.
Each party has been designed specifically for the theme and is also slightly adapted depending on the children's energy levels (and ability with circus skills parties) on the day. However I plan, plan and plan some more each and every party and every eventuality just to make sure it all runs smoothly. Each party is different so let me know if you would like an breakdown of my expected timings.
Usually it's a maximum of 30, but parties can be adapted for more or less so just check with me when you have expected numbers (if only everyone RSVP'd - I understand your pain!). For fewer children I'll try and include extra activities and for more children I usually create more of a show style party to make sure everyone is super entertained!
