Where do I find Costumed Characters on your Website?
Finding a Costumed Character is really easy when you use our website and there are two main ways you can do this. Firstly, you can use our navigation bar which is situated on every single page which contains four main options. To find Costumed Characters, you simply need to click on “General Entertainers”. This will provide a drop-down menu featuring all of our sub-categories. Underneath the link “Children’s / Kid’s Entertainers”, once you click the “More >>” link, you will see a dedicated section for Costumed Characters.
The second way to navigate your way to our Costumed Characters section is to use the search function which is also on all of our website pages. There are two main form fields to consider here. Firstly, there is the option for “I’m Looking For” which when you start to type “Costumed Character” into it, the form field will auto-suggest this option. Secondly, you can add a location in the “Near” form field, however this is optional. For entertainment which is slightly unusual, we always recommend leaving the location field blank.

What do Costumed Characters Actually Do?
Costumed Characters offer a magical way for younger children to see their favourite television or movie character brought to life. These individuals will not only dress up as your child’s favourite character, but will also play games with them too and interact with them. Some popular choices for Costumed Characters include “Elsa” and “Anna” from Disney’s Frozen, Peppa Pig and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
How long will a Costumed Character perform for?
There is no set length of performance for a Costumed Character, so it is always advisable to check with your chosen performer before booking. Most Costumed Characters will make an appearance and play party games for two to three hours, however if you need a longer performance time, this can be requested.
How much do Costumed Characters cost?
It is quite difficult to give an accurate quote to hire a Costumed Character since many factors will affect the cost, including length of performance, distance to travel to the venue and certain times of the year. Using our entertainment directory, you can easily contact our entertainers for a non-obligation quote at absolutely no cost.
What Should I Ask a Costumed Character?
There are many questions you might want to ask a Costumed Character before booking, especially if this is the first time you have chosen this type of entertainment. We have compiled a list of example questions that you can use as a guide, however never be afraid to ask anything else to a performer before booking.
The most important question you need to ask any children’s entertainer is if they have a current DBS Check. This is known as a Disclosure and Barring Service check which has recently replaced the CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check. This is a very important service which is designed to protect children from people with a criminal record. Other example questions include:
- Are you available to perform on the date of my event?
- Can I see your DBS Check Certificate?
- Do you have Public Liability Insurance?
- Do you have previous experience in similar events?
- Can you provide previous client testimonials?
- What costumes do you have available to wear during your performance?
- How long will you be able to perform for?
- How much do you charge for your services?
- What percentage deposit is needed to secure my date?
