What is a Gatsby theme?
A Gatsby night works because everyone knows the look: feathers, pearls, sharp suits, art deco gold and a room full of fizz. Our Gatsby performers bring that world in with them, from the moment guests arrive to the last dance.
Pick a single showpiece, like stilt walkers or a giant champagne glass, or build a full package with hosts, a jazz singer, Charleston dancers and roaming characters who stay in character all night.

Tips from our team
- 1
Make the arrival the moment
Hostesses with feathered fans and a stilt walker at the entrance set the tone before anyone reaches the bar.
- 2
Teach the Charleston
A short dance lesson from the dancers gets even the shyest guests up and laughing.
- 3
Keep the music in period
Jazz standards through dinner, then let the DJ take over with electro swing.
Frequently asked questions
Do venues around Penrith 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 Penrith do you cover?
All of CA10 and CA11, including Greystoke, Shap, Lazonby, Langwathby, Eamont Bridge and Kirkby Thore, plus the rest of Cumbria and nearby Appleby-in-Westmorland, Keswick, Carlisle and Alston.
What is included in a Gatsby entertainment package?
There is no fixed package. Most clients mix a welcome act (hosts or stilt walkers), a showpiece (champagne glass or champagne walkers), live jazz and dancers. We suggest a line-up that fits your venue, timings and budget.
Can the performers serve drinks?
Yes. Champagne walkers and some hosts can serve welcome drinks or canapés, working with your venue's bar and catering team.
