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

Corporate parties
A personal take-home for the team.
Brand activations
Digital caricatures shared straight to social.
Parisian themes
A Montmartre street artist feel.
Birthdays
A fun memento of the party.
Weddings
A keepsake for every guest.
Trade shows
A queue at your stand with your logo on every drawing.

Tips from our team

1
Give them good light
A well-lit corner with a table and two chairs keeps the drawings flowing.
2
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.
3
Choose paper or digital
Paper feels traditional and personal. Digital suits branding, printing and instant sharing.

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

How much do caricaturists cost in Cheltenham?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
