Events & areas
Whether it is a 40th in a Headingley bar, a golden wedding in a Morley club or a family party in a Garforth cricket club, we supply party entertainment across Leeds every week.
Tell us the occasion, the guests and the venue and we will suggest acts that fit.
Leeds has a huge range of party venues: bars with private rooms in the city centre, function rooms at sports clubs and social clubs, suburban pubs, community halls and hotels. Smaller rooms suit solo acts; bigger rooms can take a band or a group tribute.
Put the act on after food, schedule speeches and the cake between sets, and finish with DJ music. See our guide to planning a surprise party act if you're keeping it secret.
