Booking Harvo

FAQ

Thank you for choosing Harvo Entertainment for your upcoming event! To help everything run as smoothly as possible, here is a quick guide answering the most common questions about bookings, setups, and policies.

General Booking Details

  • Booking Process: Once you decide to move forward, I will send you a booking form to fill out and confirm your details. Show selection can be discussed during this process—multiple shows can be combined upon request.
  • Pricing & Payment: Please get in touch directly for a tailored quote. Card payments are accepted, and formal invoices are available upon request.
  • Insurance & Safety:
    • Covered by Public Liability Insurance up to £10,000,000.
    • All electrical equipment is PAT tested and certified.
  • Parking Requirements: Please ensure parking is reserved as close to the performance area as possible to allow for unload/load. Any parking fees are the responsibility of the booker and will be added to the final invoice if paid on the day.

Cancellations & Weather Policy

  • Cancellations: If you need to cancel, fees may still apply depending on how close to the event date the cancellation occurs.
  • Outdoor Events & Rain: Outdoor performances require a covered “Plan B” option. Full fees remain payable if an event is rained out or if a postponed date cannot be accommodated.

Performance Specifics

Punch & Judy

  • Location & Sound: Punch & Judy draws large, enthusiastic crowds! Please place the booth away from noisy attractions (e.g., bouncy castles or loud stalls) to prevent the audio from being drowned out.
  • Setup: We offer two booth options (indoor and outdoor). Please specify your preference before the event. Note that once the booth is erected, it cannot be relocated without being fully dismantled.
  • Scheduling: Performance times can be customized, but please check your event schedule to avoid clashing with other main attractions.

Magic Shows

  • Space Requirements: Magic shows include a backdrop and two tables, so please ensure sufficient space is allocated.
  • Performances: Up to three magic shows can be provided per booking.
  • Weather Cover: Outdoor magic performances must have shelter to protect against wind and rain. If adequate cover is not provided and the show cannot proceed, full fees remain applicable.

Theatre & Stage Performances

  • Harvo is available for stage performances, compering/hosting, or delivering a full one-man theatrical show.
  • Please provide details about your venue when booking so the performance can be tailored to your stage layout. Site visits can also be arranged prior to the event date if necessary.

Children’s Discos

  • Smoke Machines: If you would like a smoke machine, please confirm permission with your venue first to avoid triggering fire alarms, and ensure no attending guests have severe asthma.
  • Safety: All lighting and technical equipment will be safely cordoned off, and all cables will be securely taped down to prevent tripping hazards.

Photography Policy

Guests and event photographers are welcome to take photos during the show. However, commercial sale of these photos is strictly prohibited without prior written permission from Harvo.

Harvo Entertainment reserves the right to use photos taken during public events for promotional purposes. Private events are exempt from this policy.
