Public Liability2017-08-07T15:07:29+01:00

Stripey Wipey has over £10miilion in public liability insurance and is a member of Equity, this reassures our clients of our professional integrity at all times. I also have Military Grade security clearance for working within Military bases, and for the vulnerable children from the parents involved in Royal, Forces, Ministerial, Diplomatic and Celebrity environments. all equipment is PAT tested and I follow a strict Health and Safety policy to help safeguard the children from injury whilst I am performing. I conduct a risk assessment at every venue, The silliest thing may be critical, like  the environment with comprehensive risk assessments carried out prior to all work.

Take home presents?2017-05-19T11:21:03+01:00

Children’s take home presents at parties are their prize for being good and performing well at the party. Stripey supplies prizes throughout the party also, so there is no need to supply additional prizes at your event.

What do you recommend for party food?2017-05-19T11:19:38+01:00

When it comes to party food, keep it simple and fast. Your guests have only 20 minutes for food, cake, toilet and get ready for the second half. Light food, we don’t want them bringing it back ? !!!

Should I book Stripey before the venue?2017-08-07T15:07:29+01:00

The simple answer is YES! – One of the biggest mistakes party organisers make. If you want Stripey Wipey for your party event; Book Stripey Wipey first before the venue. There are multiple venues but only one Stripey Wipey.

How much will it cost?2017-08-07T15:07:29+01:00

The price is based on mileage from me / or another booking on that day (not a postcode lottery). If you live 300 miles away you don’t pay the same as my next door neighbour!

What you pay is therefore a complicated formula so that everyone in your area pays the same for your type of performance.

The easiest and fastest way to get a price is to fill out a Fast Track Enquiry form here! 

Can I do a joint party?2017-06-12T11:23:55+01:00

Great Idea! – you will see images throughout the site, I love joint birthday parties for children and it is a great way to share the costs. The only issue I have is that it is hard to make one child feel extra special when they are sharing a party (I have to be fair to all birthday Children).

I used to allow any number for a share, however I had to draw the line when one mum (not all hers) had 5 birthday children. There is a £10 surcharge per birthday child above two because I have to work much harder during tea (to secretly make extra prizes!!).

How many children can we invite to the event?2017-05-19T10:07:28+01:00

960 children for private parties and 5,000 for Corporate

It always makes me laugh when mums and party organisers tell me tales of the “Professional” Children’s party entertainers that only allow 18 -30 children. Every year Stripey Wipey entertains regularly between 500 and 900 at one event.

I can control 900 children (in one room) without them knowing they are being controlled because they are laughing too much. A room filled with hilarious games, general silliness, slap-stick comedy, stories of magical creatures, superheros and fire-breathing dragons results in only one thing. Happy children that want to be involved

Do you have any birthday party ideas?2017-05-19T10:03:51+01:00

Birthday party Ideas

For party organisers, event planners and busy mums with no time. Stripey Wipey has a great set of birthday party ideas and party themes (stripes are a ready-made theme) gathered during his 20 years performing for children. Today it is often so confusing with the amount of options out there.

A traditional children’s magic show full of party magic, games, competitions lots of friends, a themed Birthday cake, is all that is needed for that child and all their friends to go home with treasured memories. And the Uk’s leading choice for doing that is Stripey Wipey the children s entertainer.

Do I really have to book as early as people say?2017-06-12T11:23:55+01:00

The trouble with being a very popular and top-rated entertainer of children, Stripey Wipey gets booked sometimes 11 months (or years) in advance . This is particularly true for the busiest periods like School and Corporate Christmas parties, and Easter as well as end of term parties. Regular clients have been booking the same days year in year out for 20 years.

Booking Stripey for your party event could not be easier, just pick up the phone, or use the contact form on this page, or click the check-availability buttons throughout the website

Do you really teach them a street dance?2017-05-19T10:00:47+01:00

I have been told here by Mrs Stripey Wipey to be careful; The truth is I am no Street Dancer, but I enjoy the fun and games when I “teach” the children my crazy dance.

The street dance party is for the 4 to 12 years age group. The winner gets a big balloon prize. It is perfect at a Birthday party or family party event like a Wedding or Christening,

The children just love the experience, especially 6 and 7 year girls, and boys. They learn a dance then compete to win!! Stripey encourages the children of all abilities and everyone feels a part of something special.

Does every child win a prize?2017-05-19T09:59:47+01:00

When it comes to party competitions Stripey Wipey – makes it fun, special, hilarious and enjoyable for everyone – even for those that do not win a prize on this turn. His experience means every child is involved.

At every event Stripey Wipey makes various prizes and gives them out to children as a prize, however only at a 2 hour birthday party does every child take a prize home made by Stripey Wipey.

What age groups to you cover?2017-08-07T15:07:29+01:00

I have dedicated the past 20 years providing customers with a Stripey Wipey party experience, I pride myself on providing entertainment that engages every child at a children’s birthday party, family event, or community / corporate event. as a full time professional children s entertainers we undertake professional entertainment show aimed at children between the ages of 1 and 12 years of age.

Stripey Wipey provides a range of Party programs (related to children’s entertainment)  The majority of our work is in the Surrey to Lincolnshire area of the U.K. but we do work further afield for some of our corporate clients on larger events.

Have you had Security and DBS checks done on you?2017-06-12T11:23:55+01:00

DBS and Security Information: YES: Stripey Wipey has Military Grade security clearance (far higher than DBS enhanced) for working within Military bases, and working with the vulnerable Adults and children involved within Hospital wards, schools and in the Royal Family, Armed Forces, Ministerial, Diplomatic and Celebrity environments. So although the children’s entertainer role strictly does not require a DBS check because an entertainer is never alone with children. As a father of two, I know it is important for clients to feel assured.
