FAQs


How much does face painting cost in the UK?


According to data collected by Bark, children’s face painting in the UK typically starts from around £50 to £100 per hour, depending on location, event size and design complexity. Larger events or custom themes may cost more. Requesting face painting quotes UK professionals provide will help you compare pricing for your occasion.

Simple designs usually take 5 to 10 minutes per child, while more detailed character looks can take a little longer. Your face painter can estimate the time needed based on your guest list.

What do you love most about your job?

Face painting brings joy to all ages and can make any occasion fun but nothing beats the little smiles I see when the children get to see their finished faces in the mirror!

It is wonderful to see the quietest little ones come to life and adukts and teenagers giggle like kids again once they have had their faces painted.

I love to create bespoke goodie bags and party favours to suit any theme, helping bring special days to a perfect end and leaving guests with a little more enjoyment to take home!

What inspired you to start your own business?

I've always been a friendly and sociable person who enjoys working with people and young children.

I'm creative in spirit and have always appreciated arts and crafts. Luckily I am able to bring all of this together, taking great pride and joy in my work and services!

Why should our clients choose you?

I offer great, friendly, personable and affordable services! I use a number system at parties to make sure the children do not spend the duration of the party waiting to be painted and can enjoy the other available activities.

I have years of experience catering to children's parties, festivals and corporate events suppling bespoke hand crafted party bags, party favours, face painting and other services.

We were so lucky to have Mariam at our Christmas Carol event in Hackney Wick! She was amazing from start to finish. She's such a talented artist, has great energy, and really made the event fun for everyone. Even though it was a last-minute request, she had everything ready and organised, and she kindly stayed longer when we asked, which really helped us out! Both kids and adults loved her work, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better person to be with us that day. We’re really looking forward to working with her again for future events. Big big thank you!!!
