When it’s time to choose the entertainment for your events, let’s admit it – aren’t you tired of choosing between that boring band and that equally boring stand-up act, and isn’t a live band what passed off as entertainment in last year’s affair?

Whilst these entertainment acts may serve you well on some occasions, perhaps it’s time for you to try other options. So if you want something new and trendy and fun to amp up your event,

Here Are Some Brilliant Entertainment Ideas For Your Upcoming Event:

1. An escape room

Who hasn’t heard of escape rooms yet? Nowadays, escape rooms are highly-popular at parties and get-togethers (and a few hen nights), and who says you can’t have it at your event, too?

Many companies are leveraging this trend and incorporating it at their next corporate event. It has even been done at huge conferences with great success – and to prove it, who can forget San Diego Comic-Con with the escape room created by South Park?

And what’s even more incredible is that you can customize your escape room theme to match whatever theme you have for your event or conference. With an escape room, you are giving attendees and guests an opportunity to bond and work together as a team – which lets you hit two birds with one stone!

2. Visual art

Another entertainment option breaking new grounds is using visual artists, and it’s an immensely memorable affair. Depending on the kind of event, you can have a visual artist doing portraits, caricatures, silhouettes, and paintings to wow your attendees.

3. Carnival booths and side stalls

Of course, you can make your event an entire carnival theme, and you don’t have to worry about anything else – but if you want, you can have one or two carnival elements to make your event more enjoyable (plus, it’s easier on the budget and doesn’t require a large venue, either).

Set up a few carnival booths and side stalls from fairground stall hire companies and let everyone have a go at playing the classic favorites like coconut shy and tin can alley. Everyone will love taking a break and playing a few games, and it’s got good visual appeal, too.

4. Celebrity impersonators

Now, this is bound to give everyone a laugh – and it’s the perfect opportunity! You can add impersonators to any event – be it a corporate dinner to a huge conference, and it works very well when you pair it with the location of your event or its theme.

So, for example, an event in Liverpool would go great with any of The Beatles, and why not wow your guests in London with a visit from the “Queen” herself?

5. A mixology lesson

If you have a more intimate event with just 50 attendees, another excellent entertainment idea would be a mixology lesson.

It’s becoming popular with team-building sessions, and its popularity is hardly surprising when everyone can learn to mix a drink or two – and better yet, taste them!

This idea would be even better when it’s scheduled at the end of the day, followed by a happy hour where all the guests can relax and mingle.

For an event to be successful, you should consider consulting an event marketing franchise for advice on how to make your event more engaging and enjoyable. With their expertise, you can ensure that your event is a hit with attendees and that it runs smoothly.
