Frequently asked questions

Do venues around Ilfracombe 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 hosts and hostesses cost in Ilfracombe?

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 Ilfracombe is 45 miles south-west of Cardiff. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.

Which postcodes around Ilfracombe do you cover?

All of EX33 and EX34, including Combe Martin, North Devon, Woolacombe, Chambercombe, Braunton and Croyde, plus the rest of Devon and nearby Barnstaple, Lynton, Bideford and High Bickington.

Can hosts help run the event?

Yes. They can guide guests, help with seating and support your event team on the night.

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.

Still have questions?

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