Children's party entertainment in Kent

Planning a birthday in Margate, a toddler party in Sevenoaks or a PTA summer fair in Maidstone?

Each one says on its own website that it works in Kent.

The listings run across the county, from Thanet, Canterbury, Folkestone and Ashford in the east to Medway, Dartford, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks in the west. A few are long-standing clients of the company that runs this site, and they have fuller profiles. The rest are independent Kent firms we have included because they fit what families and schools here are looking for.

We do not take bookings or handle money. Follow the link to the business you like, check its current range and dates, and book with it directly. Our category pages give a few practical questions to ask so you can compare suppliers fairly.

Good to know

How far ahead should I book party entertainment in Kent?

Summer Saturdays, half-terms and the weeks before Christmas fill up first. For a school fair or fun day, contact suppliers a few months ahead. For a small home party, a few weeks is often enough outside the busy season, but it is worth asking early.

What should a school or PTA ask before booking?

Ask for the supplier's public liability insurance and safety test details, how many staff will attend, how long setting up and packing away take, and what power supply is needed. Your school may also want a risk assessment, so ask whether the supplier can provide one.

Can bouncy castles be used indoors in winter?

Several Kent firms only hire inflatables for indoor use between autumn and spring. Check your hall's ceiling height against the unit's height and ask the supplier which castles fit. Soft play and discos are good options for indoor winter parties.

How do I choose between a disco, an entertainer and a castle?

Think about the guests. Toddlers do well with soft play, primary age children enjoy castles, games and a hosted show, and older children often prefer a disco. Many families combine two, such as an entertainer for the first hour and a castle afterwards.
