We supply a professional, efficient face painter who comes self-contained in their own pop-up marquee with their own water, paints, brushes, sponges and chairs. The price is from £349 and it's inclusive of the painter, their kit and the setup, so there's nothing for you to provide on the day.
The marquee has clear window panels and goes up on grass or hard standing, indoors or out, with no power needed. Two artists can paint side by side through the same stall when the queue's busy. A full-face design takes five to ten minutes and quick cheek art two or three, so a single painter gets through roughly ten to fifteen faces an hour and two painters roughly double that. It's worth telling us the footfall when you book. Designs run from full-face Spider-Man masks, butterflies, tigers and rabbit faces through to floral cheek art and the swirl-and-glitter work grown-ups go for. Both children and adults can be painted, and glitter finishes are part of the kit.
What it's used for
Our face painters are mainly used for events, so it suits things like:
- Gala days, carnivals and family fundays across Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, Worksop and Chesterfield
- Charity fundraisers, community open days and workshops
- Corporate fun days, staff BBQs and themed activity days
- Car promotion days, retail shop openings and supermarket events
- Factory open days, Christmas events and football match presentations
- Birthday parties, wedding entertainment and private functions
Paperwork and cover
The painters bring their own risk assessments and public liability cover, with our £5 million public liability behind the hire as well, and the risk assessments go out to you or your venue before the event. There can be a minimum spend depending on where the event is, and we'll flag that in the quote.
Jill Ratcliffe said "your staff are wonderful as always and really engage with the kids" after a community fun day where face painting was part of the line-up.
We hold a 5/5 rating on Google from 209+ reviews, and we've been hiring out event entertainment since 1999.
What works with it
Face painting pairs well with our Balloon Modeller at a wedding or family event, or alongside fun food carts such as the Candy Floss Machine for a fun-day line-up. Browse the wider Event / Funday range for ideas, or contact us if you're working out what you need for a date.
