Best Children's Party Entertainers in Morpeth

There comes a point in most Morpeth childhoods when a birthday needs a bit more than a cake and a game of pass-the-parcel. A good children's entertainer can turn a village hall or a front room into an hour of proper chaos and delight, and take the pressure off parents at the same time.

Because party entertainers are mobile, most of them are based around Tyneside or the wider North East and travel out to Morpeth rather than being based in the town itself. That is worth bearing in mind: coverage and travel arrangements vary, so it is always sensible to confirm your postcode and date when you enquire. Everyone below states that they cover Morpeth or Northumberland on their own website, but do check current prices and availability directly, as we have quoted starting figures only where the entertainer publishes them.

Magic Andrew

Magic Andrew has been entertaining at children's parties across the North East for more than 20 years and lists Morpeth among the places he regularly performs. His parties combine close-up magic with face painting and balloon modelling, which makes him a flexible choice if you want more than one type of entertainment rolled into a single booking. He also runs magic shows for schools and larger events.

Andrew's coverage stretches across Newcastle, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear and Northumberland. To check availability for a Morpeth date, call 07402 406385.

Best for: Magic, face painting, and balloons in one booking. Over 20 years' experience.

Graeme Shaw

Graeme Shaw is one of the North East's most decorated children's magicians, with more than two decades of parties behind him. He won the Martin Duffy North East Children's Magic Award back in 2012 and was named UK Family Entertainer of the Year in 2020, and he has over 50 five-star Google reviews to show for it.

His show runs for around 45 minutes to an hour and is built around fast-paced visual magic, plenty of noise, and getting the birthday child up as the star of the finale. He covers Northumberland and the surrounding area; prices depend on distance and how long you want him, so it is worth asking for a quote early.

Best for: Award-winning magician. A 45-minute to one-hour show with lots of audience participation.

Ozzy Wizz Pop

Ozzy Wizz Pop offers a two-hour party package that blends magic tricks with silly stories, jokes, party games, and a puppet routine featuring Bonkers the Monkey. Games are designed so that everyone goes home with a prize, which tends to keep the younger guests happy. He explicitly lists Morpeth among the areas he covers, alongside Alnwick, Hexham, and Berwick.

For parents, the reassuring details are that he is DBS checked and insured. Prices and packages are on his website, so have a look before you book.

Best for: A full two-hour party with magic, puppets, and games where everyone wins a prize. DBS checked and insured.

Sunsett Balloon Entertainment

Sunsett Balloon Entertainment has been going since 1999 and specialises in balloon twisting, face painting, and fun puppets, with a demo balloon show and prizes as part of the package. Morpeth is named directly on their coverage list, so there is no guesswork about whether they will travel out.

With more than 25 years of parties behind them, they are a good option if your child is more interested in balloon swords and painted faces than a formal magic show. Contact them on 07903 308694 for a quotation.

Best for: Balloon modelling, face painting, and puppets. More than 25 years' experience and Morpeth listed directly.

Izzy's Face Painting and Glitter

Izzy's Face Painting and Glitter is one of the few entertainers on this list actually based in Morpeth. Operating since 2007, Izzy covers face and body painting, glitter and sparkle designs, and airbrush tattoos, and can bring in balloon twisters and other artists through her network of local performers.

Because she is based in the town, she is a natural first call for a Morpeth party, though she is happy to travel across Northumberland and Tyneside too. Face painting works well for larger gatherings where children can drift in and out rather than sitting through a set show. Enquire on 07989 622919.

Best for: Morpeth-based face and glitter artist since 2007. Ideal for larger, come-and-go parties.

Fantasy Fairytales

Fantasy Fairytales has been running character parties since 2014 and covers Tyne and Wear, Northumberland, and County Durham. If your child has a favourite princess or character in mind, this is the sort of party where a costumed performer arrives to lead singing, games, and storytelling in character.

Their range of themed packages is broad and changes with what is popular, so it is best to check their current list and pricing page directly. A character party tends to suit slightly younger children and works especially well for a themed birthday.

Best for: Costumed princess and character parties since 2014. Good for a themed birthday for younger children.

Putting the Party Together

Entertainment is only half the day. For the cake, The Old Bakehouse, tucked down Bakehouse Yard off Newgate Street, bakes to order and is a reliable local choice if you would rather not brave the supermarket sponge. And if you would prefer to hand the whole thing over to a venue, Whitehouse Farm at Stannington hosts children's birthday parties alongside its animals and play areas, which takes both the entertainment and the clearing-up off your plate.

For a wider search, national booking platforms such as DNA Kids also cover Northumberland and can match you with mobile discos, science parties, and other formats. Whichever you choose, book well ahead for weekends in term time, and always confirm coverage, price, and any travel charge for your Morpeth postcode before you commit.
