Dazzling Darren - Children's Magic & Entertainment

27/08/2024

Here’s how I’ve been spending my afternoon everyday for the last six weeks!

I wouldn’t change it for anything ❤️

19/07/2024

This weekend I start my FOURTH Summer at Web Adventure Park!

That feels mad but it just keeps getting better so I can’t wait to begin!

I’m there for 44 days this Summer so plenty of time to come along and say hello…

I’m not sure what you’ll be most excited for but for me it’s double foam cannons! 🫧🫧🫧

Something new for me that I’m thrilled to be involved in!

POD is an amazing charity that allows some of the best entertainers around (and now me 😂) to go into hospitals and provide entertainment to some of the amazing children who are spending time there.

Sadly, since Covid it hasn’t happened at Pinderfields Hospital so I’m glad that I could help to get it back up and running again…

I had a brilliant day and met so many amazingly brave children around the hospital and had the chance to perform a magic show, visit some beds and bays with more magic and make lots of balloons!

I’m really pleased to say it’s going to be a monthly thing and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

A big thank you to Pod Children's Charity entertainer Dazzling Darren for visiting Pinderfields' Children's Assessment Unit and ward last week to put huge smiles on the faces of our young patients 😊

And a special shout-out to Hydes Hospital Trust for their generous funding, which will allow these magical monthly sessions to continue, bringing joy to both children and staff. Your support means the world to us ❤️

Definitely my favourite venue in Mirfield for a party and now it’s even better!

I'm at The North Leeds Food Festival this weekend performing three shows a day on Saturday and Sunday!

I've performed at these festivals for a few years now but this year they have even more than ever for children and families to enjoy!

Good weather is on the cards too so it should make into a fantastic day! Come and say hello in the family entertainment tent where there will be 6 live shows a day from me and Matt, free balloon modelling from Micklemas Twist and a chance to learn some circus workshop skills... all for free!

On May 11-12 2024, Roundhay Park will be transformed with an array of International Cuisines, Live Chef's Demo's, Artisan Markets & Entertainment.

A weekend of working with other amazing magicians!

On Friday night I was at Headingley Stadium for a comprehensive Leeds Rhinos win working with John Danbury…

Then onto Saturday and up to Newcastle Food & Drink Festival with Graeme Shaw…

Finally back there Sunday & Monday with Magic Matt to finish off a great bank holiday weekend of shows!

I’m back with the The Magic Matt Show this weekend at North Leeds Food & Drink Festival on Saturday & Sunday in Roundhay Park with SIX live shows across the weekend!

I went to Blackpool this weekend for the world’s biggest magic convention. I had a great time, picked up some great new magic ideas for 2024 and found this fantastic new weight loss method 😂😂😂

We are up and running for 🎅🏻🎄!

I had a brilliant day on Sunday for our SEND event.

We got to meet some amazing families and did things a little differently so they all got to have an individual experience suited to each group!

From this Saturday it’s full steam ahead for the Christmas festival with new rides, new elf laser tag and new festive shows from me and our head elf!

Link in the shared post if you’d like to come along this season! It would be great to see you there!

After an incredible 6 weeks at Web Adventure Park and a week with my own in Portugal I’m back to shows this week… and quite a lot of admin!

I almost never post on here to advertise that you can book me (I much prefer daft memes and silly pictures) but get in touch now for Christmas 2023 and things up until then 🌟

I’m back at The Web for October Half Term and our Christmas Festival but I’ve got limited availability for weekends in between and school shows during term time!

Looking forward to a busy rest of 2023 and remember team… it’s only 104 days until Christmas🎄

24/07/2023

We are well and truly under way with Summer 2023 at Web Adventure Park (sorry if you are still at school for a couple more days 😂) and today the foam party really went up a level with the better weather!

Come join us this Summer for our biggest offering ever! It’s a full day out for less than your basket on Temu*

When I was 5, just starting out in magic I always dreamed one day it would lead me to hosting a Foam Party at one of the best family days out ever……

Okay, that’s not true. It wasn’t a childhood dream but how much fun does this look!

I can’t wait to channel my inner Tiësto this Summer at Web Adventure Park!

HELP PLEASE … oh creative gang!?!
We need a name for our foam party and we are driving ourselves up the wall thinking!!
(Tbh some of the suggestions don’t sound appropriate for our customer base )

Any suggestions very very very welcome!
Think music - FAMOUS DJ who’s just returned from Ibiza …, ok it’s Dazzling Darren… inflatable balls… sunshine …happy children….

Please and thank you x

This is about right 😂😂😂

I was just watching Baby Club on CBeebies with Edison and they always talk about finding a baby club near you!

For those of you in and around West Yorkshire we couldn’t recommend Wriggle Monsters Baby Club - Sensory Classes highly enough!

Maisie is amazing, I’ve never seen anyone put as much effort into, well anything really, and we all had the best time when we went along. We’re gutted Edison is too old now 😭

They are opening in Heckmondwike but you’ve always to book early. Check out their socials to see just how much work goes into every session!

Explore a world of multi-sensory activities with your baby in our sensory classes. We run baby development classes in Batley, Cleckheaton, Mirfield, and Ossett.
