(Read Reviews Here) Simply The Best For kids parties and family events, you want entertainment that's visual, easy to understand, and of course extremely funny. Children love situational comedy, where crazy stuff happens and everyone enjoys the fun.  You want someone who's spent years working on and perfecting their programs, preferably someone who's performed thousands of times in front of live audiences of all age groups in a wide variety of events. You don't want a part-time entertainer*, you want someone who's competitively priced, will actually turn up! (*sadly being let down by 'cheap' entertainers or magicians who do it as a sideline happens quite often). You want someone who is good enough to work as a FULL-TIME Childrens Entertainment Professional! Simon has full Public liability Insurance and has a DBS Certificate. (The DBS has replaced the old CRB check)

We will then send you full confirmation along with Terms & Conditions. How far in advance should I book you? Simon Sparkles can get very busy, especially at weekends so book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment. If we are not available we are happy to recommend alternative entertainers. Can I book you even though I haven't booked a venue yet? Yes, we are happy to provisionally book you for a short time whilst you secure a venue. Its always wise to book an entertainer first because less 'good' entertainers than there are venues to choose from. We can even come and entertain at your home if you'd like. Can you perform outside? Yes absolutely! We entertain at many outdoor events and functions, we don't even need access to an electricity supply! Other than birthdays, do you entertain at other functions or events? Yes. We cover every occasion where entertainment is needed. Birthdays, Christmas, Schools, Festivals, Weddings, Christenings, Theatre Shows etc. As well as Magic Shows we also have a team of entertainment specialists who cover everything such things as Face Painting, Balloon Twisting, Punch & Judy, Circus & Craft Workshops etc Do you cover my area? As a general guide, Simon Sparkles and his team cover everywhere from Swansea, Neath & Llandilo to Merthyr & Brecon to Cardiff, Penarth & Barry to Monmouth, Newport & Chepstow to Bristol & Bath etc And every City, town and village in-between. How many children can you entertain? We don't set a maximum number, the average party is about 30 children but our philosophy is the more the merrier. Just be sensible with numbers based on the size/type of venue. Do I need to supply the prizes? If you have booked our fabulous 2hr Stress Buster Package then the answer is NO, Simon Sparkles provides everything that's needed for his games including a 'pass the parcel' Are you insured and do you have a CRB check? Yes, as a member of Equity Simon Sparkles has Public Liability Insurance up to £10million. The CRB no longer exists and these certificates are no longer valid. The new certificate (and governing body) is the DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service). Simon Sparkles has a current DBS certificate. Do you use live animals? No! In our opinion the use of live animals (rabbits, doves, fish etc) is cruel and despite assurances you might get from an entertainer, the animals don't like it! There's also the issue of allergies as lots of children can have reactions to rabbit fur or dove feathers.
