Planning caricaturists in Belper

Our Belper venue list covers 3 event venues, 2 country houses and 1 estate, and Pride Park – Derby County F.C can hold up to 1000 guests. We plan caricaturists around the space you have, from arrival routes to where a showpiece will be seen best.

We cover Belper itself and the DE5 and DE56 postcode districts, including Duffield, Amber Valley, Kilburn and Heage, as well as nearby Derby, South Normanton, Ilkeston and Matlock.

Set expectations on numbers. Each drawing takes a few minutes, so not every guest may be drawn at a large event. We advise on how many artists you need.

What does a caricaturist do at an event?

A caricaturist draws quick, playful portraits of guests, exaggerating features in a fun and flattering way. Each drawing takes a few minutes, and there is usually a small crowd watching, which makes it entertaining for everyone, not just the sitter.

Traditional caricaturists draw on paper with pens and markers. Digital caricaturists draw on a tablet, and the finished picture can be printed on site or sent to guests to share, often with your logo or event branding added.

Where it works best

  • Weddings

    A keepsake for every guest.

  • Corporate parties

    A personal take-home for the team.

  • Birthdays

    A fun memento of the party.

  • Brand activations

    Digital caricatures shared straight to social.

  • Parisian themes

    A Montmartre street artist feel.

  • Trade shows

    A queue at your stand with your logo on every drawing.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Set expectations on numbers

    Each drawing takes a few minutes, so not every guest may be drawn at a large event. We advise on how many artists you need.

  2. 2

    Give them good light

    A well-lit corner with a table and two chairs keeps the drawings flowing.

  3. 3

    Choose paper or digital

    Paper feels traditional and personal. Digital suits branding, printing and instant sharing.
