    Thanks Sanj, super swift and very efficient booking! The dholis were both ace, super accommodating of random requests and an unorthodox set up. Everyone loved them, would book again and will recommend highly to all!

Frequently asked questions

How much do hosts and hostesses cost in Shaftesbury?

Every booking is quoted individually, because the price of hosts and hostesses depends on availability, your date, location and travel, how long you need them and your exact requirements. Send us your date and venue and we will come back with clear options. Quotes are free with no obligation.

Can hosts help run the event?

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

Do venues around Shaftesbury have sound limits for dhol or music?

Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.

Which postcodes around Shaftesbury do you cover?

All of SP7 and SP8, including Dorset, Fontmell Magna, Motcombe, Gillingham, Bourton and Kington Magna, plus the rest of Dorset and nearby Sturminster Newton, Blandford Forum, Tisbury and Wincanton.

What time will the hosts and hostesses arrive, and how will they look?

They arrive smartly dressed and on time, usually 30 to 45 minutes before the performance, so they are ready the moment you need them. We share arrival times and a contact number with you before the day.

Are your hosts and hostesses vetted and insured?

Yes. Every partner is vetted by our team before they are listed. They hold public liability insurance and certificates, carry out risk assessments, and any electrical equipment they bring is PAT tested. Venues often ask for these documents and we can supply them.

How far in advance should I book hosts and hostesses?

For weddings and summer weekends, book as early as you can, ideally several months ahead, as the best dates go first. We can often help at short notice too, so it is always worth asking.

Do you cover Shaftesbury and the rest of Dorset?

Yes. We book hosts and hostesses in Shaftesbury, across Dorset and the whole of South West, for venues, homes and outdoor events.
