Hire a mascot or live character
There is a moment when a character walks through the door and every child in the room screams. You cannot plan it, you cannot fake it, and nobody ever forgets it.
Choose how you want your character
With a Tickety-Boo party£25Self-wear mascot
The costume comes with us to your Tickety-Boo party, for an uncle or a grandad to wear during the party. They slip out, the mascot walks in, and the birthday child does not work it out for a good while. We take it away with the rest of our equipment.
With a Tickety-Boo party£40Headed mascot · 20 minutes
One of our team wears the costume and works the room, so nobody in your family has to and everyone is in the photographs.
With a Tickety-Boo party only£95Live character · 30 minutes
A real performer in full costume who talks, poses and joins in the games. Your Tickety-Boo entertainer introduces them. Subject to availability. The £95 is the visit fee. We add a transport fee based on your location and quote it with your postcode.

Questions people ask
What does it actually cost?
At a Tickety-Boo party: £25 self-wear or £40 for a team member in a headed mascot for 20 minutes, with no transport cost. A live character is £95 for 30 minutes plus a transport fee based on your location. On its own, with no party: £50 for the day. Collect it from us at CV7 7BG with no transport cost, or have it delivered for a delivery fee. We confirm your exact total when you send your postcode.
How do I pay?
A deposit secures your character and your date. For a live character the balance is due on the day of the party. We confirm exactly what is due, including any transport fee, when we quote.
Can I have a live character on its own?
No. Live characters are available within a Tickety-Boo entertainment party only. For a character on its own, the suit-only hire is the option.
How long do I get the suit for?
The whole day, not an hourly slot, so nobody is watching the clock while you get the photographs. We are flexible: we may be able to arrange collection the day before and return the day after, by discussion. Collect it from us at CV7 7BG, or have it delivered and collected for a fee.
Will it fit?
They’re full adult sizes and fit most grown-ups comfortably. If you’re particularly tall or small, tell us when you ask and we’ll be straight with you about which ones work best.
Is it clean?
Yes. Every costume is cleaned after every hire, without exception.
Can one of your team wear it instead?
Yes. A headed mascot is £40 for 20 minutes as part of a party booking. If you want a character who talks, poses and runs a routine, that’s a live character at £95 for 30 minutes, subject to availability.
Can I collect the suit instead of paying delivery?
Yes. Collection from us at CV7 7BG has no transport cost. Just say so when you enquire and we’ll sort out a time. If you would rather have it delivered, there is a delivery fee based on where you are.
Do you go outside the West Midlands?
Often, yes. Just ask. We regularly cover Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Coventry, Tamworth, Lichfield, Redditch and Bromsgrove.
How far ahead should I book?
As soon as you know. Popular characters go first, especially on Saturdays and in the run-up to Christmas. If your party depends on one particular character, check before you plan around it.
Make it a proper do
A character lands even harder when there’s a castle in the garden and the games are already out. Ask us about bouncy castles, garden games or soft play when you message, and we’ll bring the lot in one go.
