CHILDREN’S ENTERTAINER
Featuring award winning Flo, the children’s entertainer.
About Flo
Flo started entertaining in 1993, having progressed through the ranks of childminding and playgroups. An experienced entertainer having performed the length and breadth of the UK and on numerous occasions in Denmark, the Portuguese Azores and Monte Carlo.
Originally a clown, Flo no longer wears clown make up but still wears bright clothes and performs slapstick.
Flo provides a variety of entertainment. You can book one or a combination of elements.
Prices are therefore not listed, as it depends on an individual’s requirements, where the event is to be held and duration of the entertainment.
Flo is a fully insured member of Equity, The Performers Union and holds an Enhanced DBS.
Magical Parties
For up to 30 children 1 or 2 hours. Suitable for age 3 upwards.
These can be in the home, a hall or on a boat, Flo’s not fussy as long as there is a bit of space, electricity, a table and chair.
Elements that can be included are:
A 40-minute comedy magic show, games, dancing, balloon modelling and pass the parcel. 2 hour parties do include a break for food (background music playing) after an hour.
There are sweet giveaways, 10 balloon animals as prizes and if it’s a birthday a large balloon sculpture and a card for the birthday child.
Extra balloons can be provided on request but there will be an extra charge.
Face Painting
Suitable for age 2 upwards.
Flo is an award-winning face painter and can process a face every 5 minutes for your event, more if needed but the faces will have to be very simple.
A fee is charged per event but charges per face can be made on your behalf to help recoup your outlay.
Please note – Flo does not come and charge per face, the fee has to be underwritten.
Under 2’s, people who are unwell, have open skin wounds/complaints or those of an abusive nature will not be painted, this is for the comfort and wellbeing of the painter and for insurance purposes.
Products adhere to the EEC cosmetic standards, however some people may still have an allergic reaction. Therefore being painted is at your own risk.
Balloon Modelling
Suitable for age 3 upwards.
Balloon modelling is a great, colourful addition to any event, be it party, fete or store opening. Flo can be booked for an hour and up to 8 hours. Longer sessions work an hour on and 30 minutes off as it is very hard on the hands. Balloons cannot be given to under 3’s due to small parts when they burst.
Balloon Modelling Workshops
For up to 15 children per session, age 8 upwards.
Available for children on play schemes and in schools and they are great team building workshops for adults. Flo brings all the equipment teaches how to blow up and knot the balloons and to make simple animals, swords etc.
Circus Skills Workshops
For up to 20 children per session, age 8 upwards.
These can be indoors or outdoors as long as there is plenty of space. If outdoor the ground needs to be smooth and dry (for safety reasons rain will stop play). Electricity, a table and chair are helpful but not essential.
Workshops are 40 minutes to 1 hour in length and up to 4 in any one day.
Participants will learn hand eye co-ordintaion, balance and spatial awareness.
Equipment used – juggling balls and scarves, balancing flowers, hoola hoops, stilts, spinning plates and much more.
Circus Skills Parties
For up to 20 children per session, age 8 upwards.
An hour’s workshop as detailed above, break for food (background music playing) followed by dancing games taking it up to 2 hours.
There are sweet giveaways, 10 balloon animals as prizes and if it’s a birthday a large balloon sculpture and a card for the birthday child.
Additional balloons can be provided on request but there will be an extra charge.
Mix and Mingle
All ages, table hopping, meet and greet or mingling in a crowd.
Flo attends your event and interacts with the crowd with balloon models, mini circus skills, puppets and pocket magic.
Flo is an artist. She creates fabulous faces and she is highly entertaining in the process. She has several “characters” I love her Mrs Claus and her “grumpy old lady” is hilarious! Thanks for the years of keeping me entertained (never mind the kids!)

Flo was the sole entertainment for our daughters birthday party. We would certainly book Flo again for future parties and would recommend her to others. Flo read the audience well, had full participation from a range of ages, and had their full attention for the duration of the party. It was great as a parent to sit back and enjoy all the children laughing and having fun. Our daughter was especially thrilled with her balloon unicorn. Our daughter commented: Flo was really kind to give me this balloon and she was really funny. Can she come again tomorrow?
