Discos, costume characters and glow parties for children in Dorking and across Surrey
The last party we did this way was a Spider-Man afternoon at The Buckland Reading Room.

“Mark was excellent, very natural with the kids and the kids were constantly engaged. Thank you for a great day and making my son’s birthday party very special. Highly recommended.”

If you've already booked one of these, we know how the room takes a disco — the space, the ceiling, and whether the haze machine is welcome.

Parties we run in Dorking
Costume Entertainer →
Especially good for a child who has one character they love above all others — the whole afternoon is about that character. Works in a hall or at home.
Neon Glow Disco →
The one to pick for older children — there's no character to see through, so it holds a nine- or ten-year-old that a costume party would lose. Works best in a room you can get reasonably dark: a hall with blinds, or an evening slot.
Kool Kids Disco / Kool Kids Magic Disco →
The one for a school or nursery event, a Christmas or a leavers' party, and the easy answer for a mixed age range — it works in any room, at any time of day.
The Ultimate Disco →

If we can't do your date
James is our preferred work partner, and we pass bookings to each other both ways.
So if your date has already gone, or you're a little outside where we can reach, ask anyway — we'll check whether James can cover it rather than leaving you to start your search again. No obligation either way.
