Corporate Entertainment in East Sussex

Corporate entertainment in East Sussex

Whether it is a Christmas party for the whole office, an awards evening for clients or a product launch, entertainment sets the tone. In East Sussex, 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 Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings or further afield, the acts here cover the whole of East Sussex. Local venues include Pelham House, Buxted Park Hotel and Michelham Priory, and it's worth checking with the venue where the entertainment will set up. Other venues in the area include Brighton College, Hendall Manor Barns and Chalk Farm, and each has its own venue page further down.

The best corporate acts are used to working to a schedule. They can pause for speeches and awards, keep the volume right during dinner and then lift the energy for the party, and they know how to play to a room of colleagues rather than a group of friends.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched businesses with the right entertainment for their events. The acts listed here all travel to East Sussex, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

The essentials:

  • Prices usually from £400 up to £3,500
  • Reception, dinner and party entertainment from one agency
  • Christmas party season books up months ahead
  • The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
  • 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

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.

Most bookings fall between £400 and £3,500. 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. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference.

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the event. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the night.
