FAQs

What is a bubble party?

There is a misconception that a bubble show is just somebody displaying giant bubbles outside in the park. Richard has created a comedy bubble show which is full of magical bubble tricks giant bubbles and plenty of laughter. The show is perfect fun for your bubble loving little ones and popular with grown-ups who have never seen a bubble show before.


Why should I book The Lovely Bubbly Show?

If you are looking for something a little different for your little one’s celebration, the comedy bubble show will not disappoint. Richards bubble show has proved to be a huge hit at birthday parties, special celebrations and preschools/primary schools etc with a fun mix of amazing bubble tricks, bubble games and the finale with the opportunity to stand in a giant bubble.


Are the bubble parties messy and slippery?

Richard performs his show on a 4 x 2 metre area, which he will cover with layers of special mats to absorb any bubble liquid. All the bubble equipment will be placed on these mats. If a bubble pops outside this area on the floor, Richard carries plenty of towels for a quick tidy up.


What are the party time slots?

Saturday and Sundays are the most popular requested days for bookings. Entertainment timings offered are between 10am and 1pm or 3pm - 6pm. This gives the option of booking around a childs normal lunchtime or teatime. Bookings are also available as a weekday after-school party option which is very popular.


Do you bring your own music and sound equipment?

We bring our own music and professional pa. Music is played at a sensible level. If music for games/dancing is included in the entertainment option, Richard will check that they are suitable songs for the age group with no expletives.


Does it matter if there are a wide range of children at the party?

Of course not, there are often younger or older siblings at parties. We all know that all ages love bubbles and will be fascinated with all the bubble tricks.


How many children can we invite to the party?

The normal numbers for a standard party are the birthday childs class size, i.e. up to 30 children. Too many children can sometimes be a little overwhelming for the birthday star, but please ask if you have a specific reason for wanting to invite more children.


What areas do you cover?

We cover our local area of Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, and the county of Dorset. However, for an additional fuel charge, Richard will travel to Southampton and Portsmouth, as well as other areas of Hampshire, Wiltshire, West Sussex, and Surrey.


Do you supply party invites?

We do supply colourful party invites which, once your deposit has been paid, will be despatched to you by post. Imagine the excitement of your guests when they receive the party invite announcing that the popular Bubble man will be performing at your childs birthday party!

Do you also offer dancing and games?

If you want to add some extra fun to your party, why not opt for the 2-hour indoor package. Before doing bubbles, Richard was a well know local kids DJ. He will play all of the children’s favourite hits along with fun games. Please note all the games are non-elimination.

Do you give out sweets and prizes?

With allergies, good health and sustainability in mind, Richard has decided not to hand out sweets or prizes. As previously stated, parties are about friendship, having fun together and making great memories.

Can you do a bubble show at my home?

Richard has performed his bubble show at many family homes. Please note the minimum space requirements for the show are 4 x 2 metres floor area x 2.5 metres height. Richard will lay down special mats to cover the space.

Can you perform a bubble show in my garden or outside?

Unfortunately, due to the science of bubbles it cannot be performed outside. Bubbles are very thin and any little breeze/wind will burst the bubble even on a hot summer’s day. Richard likes to perform a multitude of clever bubble tricks, and this will not be possible. However, we also offer an outdoor bubble display party with giant bubbles and bubble workshops. This has proved very popular during the summer months.

What is an outdoor bubble workshop?

On Richard’s guidance, the children will learn to make their very own giant bubbles. This includes a fun packed lesion in the art of bubble making with wands and other bubble apparatus. Children will have colourful workstations to enjoy their bubble fun play with plenty of bubble juice for everyone.

Can you put a child inside a bubble outside in the garden?

This popular finale to the bubble show unfortunately cannot be performed outside. Any breeze will burst the giant bubble, and this is the reason it is not offered on our outside packages.
However, if you’ve booked an outdoor party, Richard can also set up his CIB (Child Inside a Bubble) apparatus in a sufficient indoor space. He would happily perform this for the birthday child and friends and even adults.

Does Richard have insurance?

Yes, Richard has Public Liability Insurance in place, a PAT testing certificate and a recent DBS check certificate, a copy of which can be provided on request.

Does Richard cater for children with SEN?

Yes, Richard has a brother with additional needs so is completely comfortable to offer adaptations to his entertainment for parties/events booked. Please let him know on booking so he can discuss this with you.
He has successfully provided entertainment for numerous events involving children with a variety of special needs. If it helps your child, he will have a quiet chat with them before the party starts to reassure them and discuss what they would/would not like included.
