It’s time to start planning your 2018 events, and ensure they stand out. While there are several important factors to consider when hosting an event, you should never forget entertainment. We’re sharing our top trends and ideas for entertainment hire.
Interactive Ideas
2018 is the year to get interactive with your guests. While inviting guests to your event for a sit-down meal and a speech may have got you somewhere 10 years ago, it will not cut it today. You need to give those attending the reason to buy your products and services and, hopefully, share images across their social media platforms. Interactive event entertainment are the buzzwords of this year. Give your guests the chance to get hands-on and relax, allowing you to (gently) push them towards your primary aim. By encouraging them to take part in your entertainment hire, you have the chance to introduce yourself informally and start a discussion regarding your products or services. They’ll take away much better memories from this type of party entertainment, effectively achieving everything you hoped. With the rise in digital technology and live streaming, interactive event entertainment keeps audiences coming.
High-Tech
Technology within the event entertainment industry is exploding. New and popular technology is a rich source for event ideas. We predict 2018 events are going to feature more videos and live streaming etc., so give your guests the reason to share. The likes of 3D Projection mapping at your event is massive, with planners utilising the tech for speciality shows and large-scale trade shows. Incorporating tech into your corporate entertainment will, likely, improve your social media impressions, thus converting into revenue.
We’re not ahead of our time in saying robots might soon be a feature of your events. They have long been popular corporate entertainment ideas, providing interactivity and the wow-factor. We are not expecting you to purchase a 10 foot robot for your next trade show, but it’s worth looking into what the market can offer to enhance your plans.

Vintage Entertainment
While tech is ever-increasing in 2018, we’re not quite ready to say goodbye to the ‘good old days’. Vintage event entertainment has certainly not had its day, with more planners turning to vintage theme hire this year. The likes of vintage accessories and games are looking to prove a huge trend, and we have party entertainment in Newcastle covered. Our carnival funfair games are the perfect choice for celebrating the bygone era. The joy of carnival funfair games are twofold (in fact, tenfold). Not only are they nostalgic, but also interactive. There’s no sitting around, as everyone can get involved and throw their weight behind the Test Your Strength machine.

Creative Food
If there’s one thing you can take away from this article, it’s to think outside of the box - particularly when it comes to catering. Food can be just as entertaining as games (although, we challenge any food to defeat our retro Pacman arcade machine). If you are opting for a sit-down dinner at your event, make it a show. You could produce creative food, or even have a band performing in the background to entertain your guests. This year, we’re already seeing a lot of ‘cirque buffets’. This trend refers to trapeze artists, and other circus acts performing while food is served. There’s nothing more entertaining than watching a circus act while tucking into your food and wine.
Speciality Entertainment
As providers of event entertainment, we know the importance of standing out from the crowd. Seen in 2017 and carrying through to 2018 with increasing popularity is the use of speciality entertainment to welcome and wow the guests. Think aerial artists throughout the venue, stilt walkers, pole artists and fire breathers greeting your guests as they arrive. The overall effect of speciality entertainment is unique, interactive and engaging. You can also expect most of your guests to share photos of a brilliant trapeze artist, maybe even produce a write-up of the event.
