Christmas Entertainment Hire & Ideas

So you are Planning a Christmas Party
There are many different types of Christmas parties depending on who you are spending time with. Are you just getting together with a couple of friends or are you having a sit down dinner with your work colleagues? Either way you are going to need a couple of Christmas party entertainment ideas to stop your celebrations from falling into the old clichés.

What you should consider when organising a corporate Christmas party:

• Christmas Music: Are you just going to play your own music or do you want a live band/singer?
• Christmas Food / Drink: Are you having a full course dinner or do you need to hire a bartender?
• Xmas Entertainment: Have you got a stage to fill or want christmasy entertainers to mingle with your guests?
• Photos: How are your guests going to remember the Christmas party, are they going to take away their own photos?
• Christmas Theme: Something that might influence your choice of entertainment might be a theme. Are you going for a traditional Christmas feel or do you want your guests to be transported to 1950’s America? It’s important to keep your theme in mind when planning your Christmas party.
• Location: You should also keep your Christmas party ’s location in mind before you go and book a full classical orchestra for your local pub.

Top 3 tips on organising Christmas party
Here are some words of wisdom from our brilliant account managers on what you should keep in mind when organising a Christmas party…

1. Don’t leave it too late. Considering how popular Christmas is, it is always best to book your Christmas party venue and entertainment as early as possible. You would be surprised how many people leave it until the last minute and as a result they lose out on all the best venues and entertainment! Procrastination is not your friend, especially when it comes to organising a great Christmas party.
2. Location is critical. You don’t want your guests missing out because the venue is in the middle of nowhere! Try and keep it close and convenient so people won’t be put off by costly taxis home or arguing over the designated driver.
3. Make it special. Instead of going for the classic Xmas entertainment you can try something different; put your own spin on the traditional Christmas party. We have some unique and unusual acts that will be sure to make your Xmas party a great experience. Our walkabout characters can integrate themselves into the crowds and provide some unexpected entertainment to really bring your party alive. You can hire a range of walkabout characters, from the popular Giant Reindeer to the more mystical Christmas creatures like Jack Frost or the stilt walking Ice Fairies.
