Magicians in the East of England

Book magicians anywhere in the East of England

From St Albans, Ipswich, Colchester, Peterborough, Luton and King's Lynn, the East of England has a huge choice of venues and a busy calendar of drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and corporate dinners. The magicians on this page cover the whole region, and many play several dates a month within it.

Our listings for the East of England take in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Each of those areas has its own page too, which you'll find in the links further down, but the acts here will travel to any of them.

Popular venues across the region include The Old Palace at Hatfield House, Snape Maltings, Mulberry House, Bassmead Manor Barns, Shuttleworth House and Voewood. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say which acts have played there before.

The category covers close-up and table magicians and mind readers. Their pages show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the act to your guests and your venue.
