Corporate Entertainment in Cumbria

Book corporate event entertainment in Cumbria

Whether it is a Christmas party for the whole office, an awards evening for clients or a product launch, entertainment sets the tone. In Cumbria, corporate bookings range from background music for a networking reception to a full band for the dance floor at the end of the night.

Whether your event is near Carlisle, Kendal and Windermere or further afield, the acts here cover the whole of Cumbria. Local venues include Storrs Hall, Loweswater Village Hall and Broadoaks Country House, and it's worth checking with the venue where the entertainment will set up. You'll find more Cumbria venues below, including Holker Hall, Eden Barn and The Den at Four Acre, each with its own page.

Most corporate events need more than one kind of entertainment across the evening. A pianist or duo for the drinks reception, something light during dinner and a band or DJ once the awards are over is a common running order, and many acts can cover more than one part of the night.

We've been booking entertainment for businesses since 1999, and every act on this page covers Cumbria. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Budget from around £400 to £3,500, depending on the act and the date
  • Solo acts through to full bands for large functions
  • Acts who can pause for speeches and awards
  • Everything included is listed in your quote
  • Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

Start with the timings. Most corporate events have a reception, a meal, speeches or awards and then a party, and the entertainment needs to fit around each part. Tell us the schedule and the venue and we can suggest an act, or a combination, that covers the whole evening.

Prices usually start from around £400 and go up to £3,500 or so. A solo musician or magician for a drinks reception sits at the lower end, while a full band covering a gala dinner and party sits towards the upper end. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare on the same basis.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performers you would actually book, along with their song list and written reviews from previous clients. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the night.
