Corporate Entertainment in Gloucestershire

Entertainment for company events in Gloucestershire

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

Gloucestershire has a wide choice of event venues, from Lapstone Barn and Elmore Court to Kingscote Barn. Our acts travel to towns across the area, including Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud, so the location of your event won't limit your choice. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Manor By The Lake, Hyde House and Owlpen, with details of each.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for company events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Gloucestershire as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

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.

Expect to pay from around £400 up to £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. Busy Saturdays and the December season sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.

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.

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 night.
