Magicians in Wales

Find magicians for your wedding or event in Wales

Whether you're planning a wedding or event in a city-centre hotel or a country house miles from anywhere, magicians in Wales cover the whole region. This page brings together acts that play everywhere from Mumbles, Llandudno and Cardiff Bay, so you can compare them side by side.

This region page covers Cardiff, North Wales and Swansea. 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.

Popular venues across the region include Fairyhill, Ruthin Castle, Miskin Manor, Craig y Nos Castle, Plas Dinam and Coed-y-Mwstwr. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say which acts have played there before.

Across Wales you can choose from close-up and table magicians and mind readers. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment since 1999. Every magician listed here covers Wales, and travel is included in the quote you receive. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £350 to £800, depending on line-up, date and how long the act plays
  • Always included: travel, in every quote
  • Acts travel to venues right across Wales
  • Summer Saturdays and December dates book up first
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the space and the guest numbers. A smaller line-up suits an intimate room or a venue with a sound limiter, while a larger act fills a ballroom or marquee. Tell us the venue and numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

Most bookings fall between £350 and £800. The size of the line-up is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long the act plays. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay, wherever you are in Wales.

Each act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can.

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.
