party packages

The two hours breaks down like this: 5-10 mins of welcome and intro, 50-55 mins of crazy magic, a 25-30 minute break while the children eat food you provide and a final 30-35 minute epic disco, crammed with games and fun.

Phil ideally needs 45 minutes to set up and 30 minutes to set down. If there are room booking or travel constraints then he can set up in 30 minutes with help unloading.

Age 0-3: From giant bubbles and putting children in a bubble, to funky nursery rhymes, puppets and parachute; Phil has a special party for early years.

Age 4-6: Phil’s magic show is completely perfect for this age; the magic show makes them giggle from start to finish and then the fun continues with a disco perfectly aimed at activities for age 4-6.

Age 7-9: Phil’s bigger magic tricks really impress once children are this age. He doesn’t have 3 shows worth of material for older ages (like he does have for ages 4-6!), so if the class has already seen him more than once this academic year there will be a repeat; but if you’re from a school who hasn’t had Phil lots of times each year then the show and disco is brilliant for ages 7-9.

Age 9+: Phil does Year 6 leavers discos and the odd magic show for children turning 10. These are so much fun and our discos are really epic by the time we get to this age, think props, music, lights, snow foam and really crazy games.

The price is the same for a 2 hour party (including 30 mins break for food) for all of the above options.

Phil comes to your venue (homes, gardens, village halls all work). As long as there is space for his set and the children to sit on the floor watch, and run about for a snow ball fight, then the space will work. If you are in a venue which is worried about snow machine, bubbles or snow ball fight then just let us know in a note on the booking form and Phil will leave those out.

Outside parties are also popular during the summer months. You will need to think through contingency both for rain and also hot weather. In the event of rain or hot weather, Phil needs a good covering for his set which contains lots of electrics, and the children will also need a covering.

Phil needs a minimum of one socket but two is also great! Phil has a number of extension leads if needed.

If you’d like us to book the venue for you, we host Phil plus venue dates about once a month, these are for the Reddings Community Centre or Emmanuel Church Leckhampton. Apart from those dates, you would be hiring your own venue for a Phil party.

Phil will set up all your chairs and tables for you. You just have 15-20 mins for set up and set down but Phil will be ready and waiting for the fun to start when you arrive, and will even be able to help out with all those jobs like sweeping up. If you’re happy to roll with a bit of overlap with the adjoining party parents, everyone works like mad for the change over and then in a flash it’s all done, and you’re home and unwrapping gifts just a short time after the party finished!

The party times are 10am-12pm, 12:40-2:40pm and 3:15-5:15pm, and they work just like any other Epic Phil party during that time. 

For birthday parties: Phil’s parties are suitable for any number of children from 5 to 45.

For events, fetes and schools/nurseries: please contact us directly as these have different pricing. For events where children are seated there is no maximum number to watch a one hour show. For events where the children will participate in a snowball fight the max is about 80 children. For events where the children will have the disco/parachute props, the max is about 50 children.

Phil has a few hours worth of material and so it’s possible for the same class to see Phil a couple of times in a year and have a different set of tricks; even if a class has seen Phil a number of times that year, he’ll still include some new material.

Phil is able to bring modelling balloons and glitter tattoos if you are looking for a little extra sparkle to your party.

The tattoos are applied for all the children at the start of the party while they are arriving and are always a huge hit. Phil gets a little moment to get to know each child and make them feel special when they arrive. For larger parties Phil carries on with tattoos during the break for food to make sure there is enough time to get round everyone.

The balloons are brought to the party pre-made. They are either regular balloons (poodles, flowers, swords, dinosaurs, unicorns) or deluxe balloons which are all made out of 2-4 balloons (crazy hats, deluxe flowers, deluxe swords, deluxe butterflies).

UV PARTIES: offer UV balloon swords handed out at the end

To see availability and book, head to our calendar.

If you are looking for a Phil party then you need to select “Party Types” at the top of the page; then select Phil, Phil after school, (and Phil plus venue if a Cheltenham party is viable for you). Then all the dates which come up on the calendar are the dates which Phil has slots left for!

If you would find it easier, just email us here, and let us know what you’re looking for!

Next Steps: After you’ve booked, the slot will be automatically put into Phil’s diary. When we are next at a computer we will send a confirmation email and an invoice. You will then have 7 days to then pay the initial (agency) payment of £100 via bank transfer. The final payment is then paid directly to Phil, via bank transfer, and you are given these details in your initial email.

We tend to mostly process bookings on a Monday and Thursday morning; if waiting for the next Monday/Thursday is too long that’s no problem; just drop us a message and we will send your confirmation that evening on any given day.
