What does a fortune teller do at an event?
An event fortune teller gives short, light-hearted readings using tarot cards, palm reading or a crystal ball. Each reading takes a few minutes, and guests come away with a story to tell the rest of the table.
Readings are for entertainment only and kept positive and fun. A fortune teller in costume, with a draped table or small tent, adds atmosphere to circus, masquerade and vintage fair themes as well as Halloween and Christmas parties.
Where it works best
Christmas parties
A fun queue between drinks.
Circus and showman themes
A mystic's tent at the travelling fair.
Halloween parties
Atmosphere and a little mystery.
Hen and birthday parties
Readings that get everyone laughing.
Weddings
Something light-hearted for guests during photos.
Masquerade balls
Readings by candlelight for masked guests.
Tips from our team
- 1
Create a quiet corner
Readings work best a little away from the loudest speakers so guests can hear.
- 2
Keep it light
We brief readers to keep everything fun and positive, which is what guests want at a party.
- 3
Dress the space
A draped table, candles or a small tent makes the corner part of the theme.
Frequently asked questions
Do venues around Retford have rules for performers?
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 fortune tellers cost in Retford?
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. Travel is part of the quote, and Retford is 23 miles east of Sheffield. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.
Which postcodes around Retford do you cover?
All of DN22, including Bassetlaw, Ranskill and North Leverton with Habblesthorpe, plus the rest of Nottinghamshire and nearby Bawtry, Worksop, New Ollerton and Gainsborough.
Are the readings serious?
No. They are for entertainment only and kept upbeat and positive.
How long is each reading?
Usually a few minutes, so the reader can see a good number of guests through the event.
What does the fortune teller need?
A small table, two chairs and a quieter spot. A tent or draping can be added for atmosphere.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?
Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
Do you work with our venue and event team?
Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.

Tell us about your event and we'll come back with options.
