I arrive with the programme ready, every material packed and the energy to keep a whole group going from start to finish. You only need to handle the cake.
Start to finish
How a party runs, hour by hour
Pace is the part that matters most and the part you notice when it goes wrong: high at the start, winding down to the cake.

Frequently asked
Questions about the party
How much does a children's party entertainer cost in the Algarve?
I don't work from a fixed price list, because every party is different. The figure depends on four things: how long it runs, how many children there are, which activities you choose, and the distance. Send me the date, the area and the number of children and I will come back with a fixed quote the same day. The figure we agree is the final one, no extras appear afterwards.
Which areas of the Algarve do you cover?
Faro, Albufeira, Loulé, Lagos, Portimão, Vilamoura, Quarteira, Olhão, Tavira and Silves. I usually travel beyond these too, it depends on the date and the distance, so ask rather than assume it is not possible.
Can the party be run entirely in English?
Yes. I run parties in English, in Portuguese, or in both at the same time, which is the most common case here, with Portuguese and international families together. Children switch between languages far more easily than the adults do.
We are on holiday here, can you come to our villa or hotel?
Yes, and it is a large part of what I do in the summer. I work at private villas, rental houses, hotels and resorts across the Algarve. If your accommodation has rules about outside suppliers, tell me and I will coordinate with them directly.
How far in advance should we book?
Two to four weeks is ideal. Summer weekends and dates around Christmas and the end of the school year book up earlier, sometimes six weeks ahead. If your date is already set it is always worth asking even at short notice, there is often availability.
What happens if it rains?
The party goes ahead. Every activity has an indoor version prepared and I bring materials that work either way. If the venue changes at the last minute, let me know and I will adapt the programme to the new space.
I work in Faro, Albufeira, Loulé, Lagos, Portimão, Vilamoura, Quarteira, Olhão, Tavira, Silves and the surrounding areas.
Shall we plan the best party for your family?
Tell me a little about the party and I will put together a programme that fits, date, place, ages and number of children is all I need to start.
