Let’s begin!
Firstly, why hire a mascot for a children’s party?
Because these character-themed costumes are used by entertainers along with dances and games to entertain the little ones and fill any kind of childrens party with fun and laughter.
Also, the children can participate in the show as they can dance and sing together with their favourite character and create an unforgettable memory; spending time with their favourite animated character.
It’s also an unforgettable show that anyone would want to have at their party, for the emotional impact it generates, as well as the visual. What child has never dreamt of cuddling a famous character?
The best thing is that you can hire them for any place you want, whether it’s in your home, a hired space, in the street or wherever you can think of. The entertainers can go anywhere!
The fun, the high spirits, the music, the laughter…. all is guaranteed!

But, what’s the price of hiring such magic?
The price of hiring a mascot depends on many factors, such as the length of the show, the number of children for whom the performance is intended, the age of the children, the experience of the professional, the location of the party or the place the entertainer has to travel to.
These are all the costs that have to be taken into account, for example, if the venue is far away, the children are very young or the show lasts a long time, the price can be increased.
We would like to remind you that the show cannot exceed 20 minutes in the winter and 15 minutes in the summer, unless the party is in an air-conditioned venue.
However, to give you an idea, hiring an entertainer with a costume can cost around 150 €.
A very good price! And the good thing about a show like this is that the professionals don’t need to have lots of technique and experience.
When do I have to hire a mascot for a children’s party?
Well in advance! Ask for both a quote and how to hire them.
And we’re not exaggerating, as many of these professionals have full schedules at peak times of the year when there is high demand for celebrations, like spring, when there are many communiones and christenings as well as birthdays and other children’s events.
Tips for when you’re hiring a mascot
Firstly, set a maximum budget that you want to spend on hiring a mascot like this so that you only look at entertainers that fall within that price-range. This ensures and you won’t be surprised when it comes to payment.
Secondly, don’t go for the first entertainer you find, look for several and ask for a quote from them, this way you can compare prices and choose the option that best suits you.
Furthermore, don’t focus only on price! There are many important factors, such as the experience of the professional, their ability to appeal to a young audience, if they have good reviews etc.
A top tip is to ask for a quote for several days of the week, because if you want to celebrate the party on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, you will see how the price varies depending on the day! In regards to the time, the prices for an evening performance will be a little higher.
