Get ready for our original and most requested party, the action packed, epic “Phil” party.

After a warm up with a million bubbles from the bubble machine, the show starts with magic, puppets and clowning that has children crying with laughter. There is then a 25 minute break for food after the first hour, and when the children begin to finish eating he will gather them together to sing happy birthday and lead straight into his epic disco. The disco is crammed full with games, dancing and props – such as his infamous parents vs children snowball fight, and has a full set of disco lights, snow foam and bubble machines.

Phil’s parties are suitable for any number of children from 5 to 45, and he has material to suit age 1 to 9, or can do a combination for parties where there are mixed ages present.

Key facts:

• A party with Phil costs £330 for two hours, with additional milage cost for parties over 30 minutes drive from Cheltenham.
• The two hours breaks down like this: 5-10 mins of welcome and intro, 50-55 mins of crazy magic, a 25 minute break while the children eat food you provide and a final 30-35 minute epic disco, crammed with games and fun.
• 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.
• 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.
• For ticketed events or parties with larger numbers, please contact us directly.
• Phil has a wide range 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 each, even if a class has seen Phil many times that year he’ll still try and do one new one for each party.

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).

We have crammed all our learning from 12 years of parties into a brand new show, the Turbo party! We have the fantastic Emily with us providing these parties.

Turbo parties are designed to be the same winning format as the epic original with Phil: the first hour is a welcome with millions of bubbles followed by magic show, crammed full of tricks, puppets and lots of giggles; then we have a 30 min break for the children to eat, with the party finishing with an epic disco for 30 mins. The disco is non-stop filled with dancing, games and activities, with parachute, props, snow foam and even a giant snow ball fight.

The Turbo party is £260 with milage applicable for parties over 30 mins from Cheltenham.

We are really excited to finally be able to share our VIP parties with the world!

Numbers will be limited to 12 children max.

The children will have a non-stop creative, exciting VIP experience. Starting with getting glitter tattoos together and having fun with our instant print (black and white paper) photo booth, they will then move on to a bath bomb and slime making master class, which lasts about an hour. They will all go home with one large half sphere bath bomb, and one pot of slime of their choice (crunchy slime, glow in the dark slime, fluffy slime, glitter slime), that they will have proudly made themselves. Then there will be a break for the children to eat food, while we tidy up and re set from all the creations! After this, the party will end with a mini disco including small lights and games.

The party is designed to work well either in a home around a dining room table (and then perhaps with the disco in another room, like a living room or somewhere where there is a little space to dance); or in a village hall. The party is designed to work well for age 5 up to age 10, with it being presented differently to meet the age of the group.

The party costs £220 plus £5 per child, and you can give us your final number nearer the time.

Our UV parties are all held at and catered by Leisure at Cheltenham.

The party is 1 hour of epic UV party with your party host, followed by 45 minutes in the party room where you will be served your food, catered for you.

The hour’s UV party is absolutely crammed with activities, puppets, games and a UV magic show. All your guests will enjoy glowing in the UV throughout with our UV face paint, glow sticks and of course our epic suitcase full of UV dress up to try on. The party ends with a disco including an epic snowball fight with UV GLOW balls!

The party cost is inclusive of room hire, entertainer, face paint and glow sticks. UV glow balloons and food are charged extra per child.

£220 for 1 hour’s UV party, followed by 30 minutes in the party room, serving only your cake.

or

£180 plus food cost per child for 1 hour’s UV party, followed by 45 minutes in the party room serving food from the Cheltenham Trust amazing menu.

Phil’s parties are often fully booked for several months in advance, however don’t fear, our after school parties are a  really popular choice enabling availability even after the weekends are full!

You can either have the whole of Phil’s usual 2 hour party for £300 or, Phil is also able to cram as much as possible into 1.5 hours of absolutely non-stop entertainment, with a shorter break of up to 20 minutes while the children eat, which is available for £260.

To book the regular 2 hour party you need to click through for a 1.5 hour party and then at the end you will have a chance to upgrade to a 2 hour party, which includes the break for food.

We recommend the 1.5 hour party, especially for ages 3-6 after school, it’s so action packed they LOVE it. Because there’s a shorter break for food, Phil doesn’t miss very much out from a full show, and the shorter party is perfect for keeping them captivated even after a day of learning. This 1.5 hour party is only suitable if the children are invited to attend the party from the start of Phil’s entertainment time. If you’d like a longer 15 mins staggered start while children gradually arrive from school pick up, this is £280, and means: 15 minutes where children arrive and Phil is fully set up, with bubbles, lights and music on and welcoming them as they come in, followed by the action packed 1.5 hours above. (That’s 1 hour 45 mins in total, including 20 minute break for food)

Phil’s parties are booked up months in advance and we have so much more demand than we can meet – introducing Phil plus Venue to help us say YES to more of your enquiries!

On selected dates, we hire the venue for you, meaning one less thing to worry about, and Phil will set up all your chairs and tables for you. 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 set up/set down jobs like sweeping up.

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. You will have the venue for 20 minutes before and 15 minutes after the party time to put up any specialised decorations, but you won’t need to spend time putting out or tidying away tables and chairs. We include in the cost a payment towards the venue hire, but this is less than the room hire you would pay if you were hiring the venue for a regular party and there is £20 off the cost of the entertainment.
