Just tell us where and when, and we'll send over magicians who are free, with a clear quote that includes travel.
Unusual venues, unusual magic
Not many cities can offer a wedding on a Victorian steamship. But Brunel's SS Great Britain on the harbourside hosts weddings and corporate dinners above and below deck. In Filton, Aerospace Bristol holds gala dinners, weddings and Christmas parties beneath Concorde. Venues like these already give guests plenty to look at, so the magic needs to be up close and personal to stand out.
So close-up magic is perfect here. A magician can work groups on deck or under the wings, borrowing a ring, a phone or a banknote and making something impossible happen inches away. It gives guests a story to tell that matches the setting.
Corporate events at these venues work the same way. Picture a client dinner on the ship or an awards night under Concorde, with a magician going from table to table between courses. People get talking, and the hosts get a night that feels a cut above the usual hotel function room.
Woodland weddings and relaxed receptions
Arnos Vale in Brislington, a Victorian cemetery set in 45 acres of woodland, offers several buildings for ceremonies, wedding breakfasts and evening parties. It's a quieter, more natural setting than the harbour, and magic there tends to be relaxed and conversational.
Bristol weddings often have long, informal drinks receptions, sometimes with lawn games and food trucks. A magician fits easily into that mood, drifting between groups rather than gathering everyone for a show. If you're planning an outdoor reception, it's worth having a covered area in mind in case of rain.
Bristol travel tips for your magician
Central Bristol has a Clean Air Zone and harbourside parking can be limited at weekends, especially in summer. Let us know about parking or unloading at your venue so we can plan the arrival properly.
Many Bristol venues are spread over several spaces. Share a quick plan of where guests will be at each stage, so your magician follows the crowd rather than performing to an empty room.
Over the bridge to Bath and the countryside
Lots of Bristol couples end up looking at venues just outside the city: farms and barns in North Somerset, manor houses towards Bath, country pubs with gardens in South Gloucestershire. Same advice applies. Close-up magic, no kit to set up, works indoors and out.
The roads out of Bristol can be slow on a Friday, especially round the Portway and the A4. We allow extra time for that. And if your venue's down a long farm track with no phone signal, a quick note with directions makes life a lot easier for everyone.
