childrens entertainment needed, help!!

Hi
i dont know if this is the right place to post this but it didnt seem to fit elsewhere..
ok here it is:
i have been given the task of finding a children entertainer for my caravanning local club birthday meet, which is a big meet (185+ caravans)
its for the august bank holiday weekend.
i have an idea what i want but i have no idea how to find it.
i want someone who will do balloon animals, ect, during the day but will also do some sort of show ( 1 or 2 ) that will suit children from 2 to 16.
have tried Google but cant find what i want.
can anyone recommend someone in the Worcestershire area or someone who is happy to travel.
thanks

    Hi there,

    Sorry I am unable to recommend any entertainers - just thought I'd post a concern.....the grouping of "children" from 2-16.

    I personally remember being completely insulted at a family wedding as I was 13 years old yet was seated at the "children's table". It put me in a bad mood for the rest of the evening!

    I'd recommend at least separating those of high school age (ideally 3 groups - toddlers and early years / primary school / high school).

    Hope this doesn't come across as rude - just my opinion!

    no youre not rude at all. the reason i put 2-16 is cause we have kids of all ages there and they are free to join in or not if they chose, its more of a case that i want something that will keep all ages entertainted then im classing over 12s as children. ;)

    Just had a thought!

    Rather than having "entertainers" as such, how about going via one of those party events type companies and organising:
    • a bouncy castle
    • a ball pool
    • huge "sumo" suits
    • massive "connect 4" game
    • etc

    That way children of all ages can participate and will no doubt be kept busy for hours!
