After Dinner Entertainment

One of the most common requests we get is to provide ‘a little entertainment for after dinner’. Here are the most popular options, but we have literally hundreds of solutions. Just contact us for full details.

Casino

Quality full sized tables, run by professional staff with authentic gaming chips give this Casino the edge. A wide choice of games are available:-

 Roulette, Blackjack, Wheel of Fortune, Craps / Dice, Poker

We usually recommend two tables initially, with one extra table for every 70 guests.

Giant Slot Car Racing

Always a huge hit, appeals to all, and is one of the most original after dinner activities. The races may start in the minds of players as "just a bit of fun", but quickly turn into serious sport. Our 6-lane and 8-lane tracks are built to club specifications for superb competitive racing, and our 2 and 4 lane systems are ideal when you are short of space. The races give light hearted competition, and décor, music and trophies can be added as options where required.

Mini Boots

Two teams of 3 play against each other in a football game with a difference. This game has to be seen to be believed. Radio controlled football boots on a waist high pitch! With skill, teamwork and tactics it is possible to use the boot to push the ball into the goal of the opposition. Not an easy game but this seems to make the players even more determined to succeed.

Traditional Pub Games

Unique traditional Victorian pub games! A wide choice guaranteed to entertain even the fussiest of guests! Choose from Aunt Sally, Splat the Rat, 18’ Skittle Alley, Tosser, Hi-Lo, Shove Ha’penny, Bar Billiards, Horse Shoes, and many others.

Victorian Side Stalls

Wide choice of traditional Victorian side stalls.

• Coconut Shies
• Hoopla Stalls
• Darts Challenges
• Shooting Galleries
• Basketball Skills
• Old Fashioned Tests of Strength
• Fishing Games
• Roll-a-Ball and Spin-a-Ball

Race Night

Our very lively compere will create a fantastic atmosphere. The races are run on a giant screen, and bets are placed for the winners. Uniquely the races are sound sensitive, so the horses will run faster the louder they are cheered for. Why not decorate the room with a racing theme and make the most of this exciting  evening.

Quiz

We all like to think we’re smarter than all the others, plus we all love to test ourselves anew thanks to the success of TV programmes such as  ‘Millionaire’ and ‘The Weakest Link’. This quiz is great fun, but can also be very demanding. We offer a wide variety of fun quiz rounds, all of which have been thoroughly tested and researched.

Giant Games

All of your favourite table top games are now available as fun Giant Games. Not just Chess and Draughts and Snakes & Ladders, but Connect 4, Twister, Table Football, Quoits, Boules, Operation, Ker-Plunk, Battleships, Jenga and a whole lot more.

Arcade Simulators

Really let your hair down with state of the art entertainment.  There are dozens of different machines to choose from, some are single user, and some can hold up to 20 people at once.  Perfect for special events, they are extremely popular and games include the ever present Rally Driving, as well as Skiing, Snowboarding, Surfboarding, TT Motorbikes, Golf, Jet Skiing, and a range of others from White Water Rafting to Star Wars Pod Racers.  The larger Simulators will give you the full experience of being driven by a top racing driver, or being piloted through a Meteor shower!

Mind Reader

Be prepared to be stunned! This is truly a one off, as the Mind Reader reads the minds and delves into the Psyche of your guests. Time after time, he will tell them exactly what image they are thinking of, what picture they have secretly drawn, and in a grand finale, he will take them through a mind blowing routine that he himself describes as ‘Mental Russian Roulette!’

Stage Magician

A full and highly visual stage act which can be adapted to suit any venue. Levitation, disappearing volunteers, swords scything though magical boxes with people still inside! We’ve all seen this on TV and here is your chance to really impress by booking live stage magic. We have over 30 different magicians to offer, so there is bound to be a show that fits your needs exactlly.

Giant Inflatables

Great stuff for all ages and abilities! The modern day giant inflatable games are a different way to not only have fun but also take part in a little competitive challenge amongst friends and colleagues. Try your hand at Bouncy Boxing or Space Hopper racing, or attempt to climb the huge 20’ inflatable mountain! Other ideas could be the Rodeo Bull, Pulsar Laser Guns, Human Table Football, Inflatable Olympics, a Surf Machine, Kangaroo Boxing, or the brilliant Bungee Basketball. And the good news is that all can be tailored to fit the available space or budget.

Game Shows

Take your pick, we have full and abridged versions of the following Game Shows ready for your call.

The Generation Game

Who’s line is it anyway?

Play your cards right

Catchphrase

Who wants to be a millionaire?

Or why not celebrate the career or lifetime of someone special with This is your life.

Wacky Waiters

This will certainly liven up any dinner! These actors dress as waiters and will completely fool your guests into thinking they are the genuine article (if a little weird).  Fuller details are available upon request, but if you can imagine being served by a waiter who is – arrogant, sloppy, drunk, an ex-con, a womaniser, thief etc. etc. then you will begin to get the picture. Your guests will love this highly original act and will talk about it afterwards for weeks.

Murder Mystery

Designed for fun, not necessarily for heavy sleuthing! Complete with a full cast of actors, the evening begins at the drinks reception with the actors mingling among the unsuspecting guests. The suspects move from table to table throughout the meal where they distribute (dis) information and clues to the guests, and clues will also be verbally given by the actors as they are quizzed at the tables during dinner.

For Murder Mystery events, we can call on  upon dozens of themes, as well as executive packages involving some acting roles for a small number of the guests at the dinner.

Fun Themes

We also produce smaller theme evenings when you do not need to go the ‘whole hog’! These evenings are superb fun, and quality is not compromised at all, they are merely smaller versions of their bigger cousins found at the end of this brochure. Six themes are currently available:-

Pantomime

Great for audience participation around an evening meal. Just how many Ugly Sisters can the evening take, prepare for a night filled with Boos & Hisses!

Fawlty Towers – Join us for a night of antics and capers as Basil and his staff  attempt to make your stay a happy one!

Fright Night – Dracula, Morticia and Hannibal Lectur are your hosts, flinch in horror as they recall  some of their more palatable tales over dinner, then watch out for the surprises afterwards.

Bond – Here all gusts are either a Bond villain or agent!  Everyone is involved as an International crisis breaks out, Bond will need your help if he is to save the day, but is there enough time?

Gangster – Due to the delicate nature of the security, all guests will be given passwords, but will they all get the password right? Watch out for trouble between the warring ‘families’.

Medieval – The Baron announces that due to the impending battle in the morning, the banquet is to be a very special one. The fun begins with sketches, songs and revelry with full audience participation.
