Party Setup & On the Day

  • We require a space large enough for all children to sit or stand in a circle so they can comfortably participate in games and activities.

    To help the party run smoothly, we ask that surrounding guests keep noise levels low during the entertainment so the performer can give instructions clearly.

    Please note: For performer wellbeing, events where temperatures are above 32°C or below 15°C must be held indoors with adequate heating or cooling. Outdoor events must include a shaded activity area.

  • Yes. At least one responsible adult must be present for the duration of the party.

    While our performers engage and entertain the children, supervision and duty of care remain the responsibility of the host. Any damage to performer costumes caused by a child may result in applicable charges.

Party Planning

  • We recommend cutting the cake in the final 10–15 minutes of the party so the character can join for the Happy Birthday song, photos, and a magical farewell.

    For longer bookings, serving food during glitter activities works well as these are done one child at a time, allowing children to stay engaged with the character while others enjoy their food.

Face Painting & Glitter

  • Some packages include glitter activities as part of the entertainment experience.

    A face painter can also be added to any package if desired. We can advise on the best way to include face painting or glitter to suit the number of children and timing of your party.

  • Typically, we can paint 10–12 children per hour with detailed designs. Larger parties may require simplified designs or additional painters.

  • Face painting is recommended for children aged 3 and over.

  • Yes, we use professional, skin-safe, hypoallergenic face paints and glitters suitable for children.
