Northamptonshire is known as the county of spires and squires, with more than its share of country houses and estates. So it's a lovely place to get married or hold a company event. And a magician is one of the easiest ways to give the day a lift.
A local team for a local event
Because we're based in the county, we know the roads, the distances and how long it really takes to get from one side of Northamptonshire to the other. That helps us plan arrival times properly and keep travel costs sensible.
When you enquire, you deal with people who know the area rather than a national call centre. Tell us your venue and date and we'll come back with magicians who are free.
Estate weddings in the county of spires and squires
Northamptonshire is full of historic houses that now host weddings. Kelmarsh Hall offers exclusive use of the house and gardens, Fawsley Hall near Daventry sits in parkland with lakes, Whittlebury Park near Towcester is a 600-acre estate with several wedding spaces, and Delapré Abbey in Northampton is a Grade II* listed former abbey.
These venues have a mix of indoor rooms, terraces and lawns. A magician can work wherever your guests gather, which is especially useful when the day moves between spaces and people are waiting around.
Some of these estates sit well off the main roads, down long drives through parkland. We know most of them, which really helps with planning arrival times.
Corporate events along the M1 and A14
Northamptonshire sits at the crossroads of the M1 and A14, so the county is home to a lot of logistics, distribution and motorsport businesses. Team dinners, awards evenings, summer days and Christmas parties are the bookings we see most from local companies.
For these events, a magician who can work a room of strangers is gold dust. Honestly. Mix-and-mingle magic gets warehouse, office and management teams talking to each other, and a short after-dinner set adds a highlight to an awards night.
Silverstone sits right on the county's southern edge too, so motorsport-themed corporate evenings crop up more than you might expect.
Birthdays, anniversaries and family parties
Plenty of our Northamptonshire enquiries are for milestone birthdays and anniversaries in village halls, pubs and golf clubs. Close-up magic is ideal for these because it works in any size of room and needs no set-up.
If you're planning a children's party, tell us the age of the birthday child and the number of guests, and we'll find you a children's party magician who suits it.
Golf clubs and hotels near Northampton and Wellingborough also host a lot of retirement dos and anniversary dinners, and they're lovely, sociable rooms for magic.
What a Northamptonshire magician brings to the day
A good magician does more than show a few tricks. At a wedding they keep guests happy while you're away having photos taken. At a work do they get people from different teams laughing together. And at a family party they give the shy relatives something to talk about.
Most of our county bookings are for close-up magic, where the performer moves around the room and works with small groups. It's flexible, it suits indoor and outdoor spaces and it doesn't need any set-up from your venue.
For something bigger, a short stand-up set after dinner can work brilliantly in a function room or marquee. Tell us what you've got in mind and we'll match you with the right style of performer.
