Corporate Entertainment in the East Midlands

Corporate entertainment acts across the East Midlands

Finding the right corporate entertainment act is easier when you can see every option in one place. This page covers all of the East Midlands, from Grantham, Kettering, Chesterfield, Nottingham and Loughborough, and every act listed travels to venues across the region for conferences, awards dinners, Christmas parties and client events.

This region page covers Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire. If you already know which area your venue is in, the links below take you to the page for that area, with venues and acts picked for it.

From Washingborough Hall and Dodford Manor to The Roundhouse, Colwick Hall, Mythe Barn and Doddington Hall, the venues across the East Midlands range from grand country houses to barns, hotels and city spaces. Our acts are used to adapting to all of them.

Not every corporate entertainment act does the same job. Within this category you'll find live bands, DJs, magicians, singers and specialist acts for business audiences, and knowing the feel you want for your event makes the choice much easier.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment since 1999. Every act listed here covers the East Midlands, and travel and any equipment the act needs are included in the quote you receive. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

What to know:

  • Budget £400 to £3,500 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes travel and any equipment the act needs
  • Travel within the East Midlands is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

The East Midlands is a large area, so it's worth mentioning your venue's exact location when you enquire. Acts based nearby often have more availability and more experience of local venues, and we'll point you towards them.

Smaller line-ups typically start from around £400, while bigger acts can reach £3,500 or more. Summer Saturdays and December are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes travel and any equipment the act needs, so it won't change once you've booked.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients, often at venues you'll recognise.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

“We hired Simply Groove for our xmas party and they went down a storm. Really lovely bunch of lads, good communication prior to the gig and also on the day. Staff had an amazing evening - thank you for making our night!!!”

“Excellent communication from Del and the team. Declan was brilliant. Very professional musician with a lovely voice. Played a great variation of songs to suit all age groups of the party. Excellent value for money. Stairway to Heaven was incredible! Will book again in the future and highly recommend Declan and the company to everyone.”

“There are only two words to describe James - World Class. He nailed the brief and really annoyed the hotel staff because people were dancing instead of eating. Brilliant stuff. Thanks James.”

“Absolutely brilliant performance at our party! Mitch brought his DJ/percussion combo and honestly, it was a game-changer. What could’ve been just a regular office do turned into something really special. The live drumming during the DJ sets got everyone up on their feet and made the night one to remember. From start to finish, everything was super easy to organise and went off without a hitch. Our team’s still talking about it, and we’re already thinking of booking again next year!”

(5)

“The band were absolutely fantastic - very professional, extremely talented musicians, superb equipment and sound quality, and kept the dancefloor full all night. The second set, which had a number of requests from the crowd, was a particular highlight and the bands willingness to play requests was a real USP! We had a number of comments from guests about how great it was, and we fully agreed. Thanks for making it a great evening!”

“Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Hireaband. They listened to what we were looking for and gave us a great selection of acts. Everything was transparent- including pricing - and we were delighted with the option we chose, Kasbah. We’ve never had a busier dance floor and that’s all down to the band. The boys had a great multi generational set list and were fantastic musicians. We’re already trying to find an excuse to book the band again. Absolutely first class.”
