True Fairytale Entertainment
Organising children’s entertainment requires finding a balance between genuine fun for the kids and a stress-free experience for the adults. True Fairytale Entertainment, a specialised mobile children’s entertainment company based in Hobart, delivers tailored, narrative-driven events directly to your chosen location.
Founded by Loren, a certified mermaid, qualified teacher, and former circus show host who relocated from the United Kingdom, the company offers an interactive alternative to traditional party hire by bringing fantasy characters straight to your home.
The booking process is designed to be straightforward for busy parents. After deciding on the basic date and location details, you can submit an online booking form with whatever information you currently have available. Once the date is secured in the calendar, the entertainment team coordinates the entire program, allowing parents to sit back, relax, and enjoy the celebration.
Kids Birthday Party
Kids Party Entertainment
The core philosophy of these sessions is to move away from expensive venues and static setups, replacing them with live storytelling, active games, and themed activities. Rather than simply making an appearance, each fantasy character guides the children through a specific structured journey, meaning each character provides a completely different experience. To build family connections, the host also integrates moments where parents and grandparents are encouraged to join in the adventures alongside the children.
For families seeking standalone or combined activities, specialised face painting packages are also available. Drawing from experience painting faces for international circus events, the host arrives 15 minutes early with all necessary equipment provided. Since detailed designs average about five minutes per child, parents can choose between intricate face art for smaller groups or streamlined, faster designs to accommodate larger crowds.
Birthday Party Ideas for Kids
Planning a gathering is made simpler with three distinct birthday party structures designed to fit different timelines and budgets:
THE ONE-HOUR PARTY ($250 AUD): Ideal for a quick burst of energy, this package includes structured games, party dances, a character song performance, a gift for the birthday child, a cake presentation, and dedicated photo opportunities. It also features a “pass the parcel” game where every child wins a prize, finishing with a lively five-minute mini disco. A second character can be added to this timeline for an additional $75 AUD.
THE 1.5-HOUR PARTY ($350 AUD): This extended option covers all the inclusions of the one-hour package but adds more interactive games, a photo opportunity for all party attendees, and collaborative parachute play. A second character can be added for $125 AUD.
THE TWO-HOUR PARTY ($400 AUD): The most comprehensive package features an extensive line-up of games, dedicated time for children to talk to the character and ask questions, and a full craft activity or face painting session. If requested, it can also accommodate a designated food break, provided the food is supplied by the party host. A second character can be included for $150 AUD.
For non-birthday occasions, such as school fairs, local festivals, or corporate functions, the company also designs community events. These options include structured character meet-and-greets, public face painting stations, or 30 to 60-minute interactive character shows themed around bubbles, princesses, or K-pop stars.
