Phil and hannah
Phil has been a children’s entertainer, making dreams come true at children’s parties since 2014. His background is as a professional actor and he has taught and performed in hundreds of primary schools over the years. Phil completed a degree in Musical Theatre followed by two years studying at Drama Studio London. Children just love Phil, and keeping the children excited but under control is his speciality.
Phil and Hannah are a husband and wife team, and you will speak with Hannah during the booking and preparation process. Hannah has worked with children and families since 2008 and loves speaking with parents as they plan parties. Phil and Hannah started Phil’s Children’s Parties when they moved to Cheltenham in 2018, evolving to become Cotswold Children’s Parties in 2023.
Having children themselves, Phil and Hannah know how important celebrating a child’s birthday is, and how planning a party can be filled with excitement and sometimes a lot of work for parents! They have a mission for every birthday child to have the most magical and unforgettable birthday of their life, and even more, for every parent to have a stress-free, wonderful experience.
