At Bilby House we are busy training our performers in the challenging art of children's party entertainment.

There is a lot to learn. Bilby performers must under go our rigorous training regime, along with learning; songs, scripts, chorography, face painting, balloon sculpting and games, the performers are also trained to understand and recognise the needs of different age groups and special needs children.
