Booking caricaturists for a Hertford event

Our Hertford venue list covers 4 country houses, 2 hotels and 1 marquee, and North Mymms Park can hold up to 400 guests. We plan caricaturists around the space you have, from arrival routes to where a showpiece will be seen best.

We cover Hertford itself and the EN10, EN11, SG12, SG13 and SG14 postcode districts, including Ware, St Margarets, Stanstead Abbotts and Great Amwell, as well as nearby Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield, Potters Bar and Stevenage.

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

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

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.
