If you’ve ever gathered a gaggle of little ones together for a kids’ party, you’ll know how daunting it can feel to keep them constantly entertained! Happily, Hong Kong has a great selection of kids’ party entertainers and activities to call on to take the stress out of hosting. From clowns to crafting, here are some choices to help make your child’s next party enjoyable for the guests and you!
[wonderplugin_gallery id=”32″]Rumple and Friends
Rumple and Friends was established in 2012 by Matt Coombes to provide high-quality, professional entertainment to children across Hong Kong for birthday parties, private events and corporate family fun days. Since then, it has grown from one performer and a suitcase travelling Hong Kong, to having its own studio, full-time staff, and an army of freelancers who provide entertainment such as magic shows, face-painting and balloon-twisting. According to Matt, the Rumple and Friends mission is to bring happiness, joy and magic to the children of Hong Kong through birthday parties, school shows, discos, and bespoke projects or events.
“Booking a party couldn’t be simpler,” he says. “Just visit our website to see our 13 unique characters, choose a character to perform a fun magic show and play themed games, and send us a message with the date, time and location of your party. We can sort out everything from party entertainers to face painters, balloon twisters, and even venues and decorations from our incredible partner companies if needed. We get booked up as far as four-to-six weeks in advance so get in touch early to avoid disappointment.”
