Glitter Bar Hire in Oxfordshire: Parties, Weddings & Events

26 Aug

Written By Jenny Warner

Planning a party, wedding or event in Oxfordshire and looking for entertainment with a bit more sparkle?

Glitter Elements provides glitter bar hire across Oxfordshire, bringing colourful, biodegradable cosmetic glitter to weddings, birthday parties, children's parties, hen parties, festivals, corporate events and celebrations of all shapes and sizes.

Based in Oxfordshire, we bring the complete glitter bar to your venue, set everything up and get your guests sparkling.

Here’s everything you need to know about hiring a glitter bar in Oxfordshire.

What Is a Glitter Bar?

A glitter bar is an interactive entertainment station where guests choose their favourite glitter colours and have them professionally applied to their face, hair or beard.

Think less craft table, more mini festival beauty bar.

Guests can choose anything from a subtle sweep of sparkle across their cheekbones to something considerably more colourful. There's no set design everyone has to have, which means each person can create a look that suits them.

At Glitter Elements, we provide the glitter artist, styled bar, cosmetic-grade biodegradable glitter, application equipment and hygiene supplies, so you don't need to source everything separately.

Glitter Bar Hire for Oxfordshire Parties

A glitter bar works brilliantly as party entertainment in Oxfordshire because it can suit so many different types of celebrations.

We can bring the sparkle to:

Children's birthday parties
Adult birthday parties
Teen and tween parties
Hen parties
Engagement parties
Anniversary celebrations
Christmas parties
Family celebrations
Festival-themed parties
Community events
School events
Corporate celebrations

Guests can visit the glitter bar throughout the event, making it an easy activity to combine with music, food, dancing and other entertainment.

For children's parties, we can also combine glitter with our jewellery-making workshops to create a longer creative party experience.

Wedding Glitter Bar Hire in Oxfordshire

If you're planning an Oxfordshire wedding and want something a little different for the evening reception, a wedding glitter bar is a colourful alternative to more traditional entertainment.

We can set up the glitter bar at your wedding venue and get guests sparkling before they hit the dance floor.

Glitter bars are particularly at home at festival weddings, tipi and marquee weddings, barn weddings, outdoor celebrations and alternative weddings, but you certainly don't need a festival theme to have one.

A more understated glitter selection can work beautifully at an elegant wedding too.

And once one wedding guest decides to go for a full glitter beard, things tend to escalate from there.

Children's Glitter Parties in Oxfordshire

If you're searching for children's party entertainment in Oxfordshire, a glitter bar gives every guest their own little experience.

Children can choose their favourite glitter colours before our glitter artist creates their look.

It's particularly good for children who enjoy creative activities because they get to make their own decisions rather than everybody receiving an identical design.

For a longer celebration, Glitter Elements also offers combined children's party packages featuring a glitter bar, jewellery-making workshop and music playlist.

These can work particularly well for birthdays held at home, in village halls, community centres and other party venues across Oxfordshire.

Glitter Bars for Hen Parties

Planning a hen do in Oxfordshire?

A glitter bar can become part of everyone getting ready for the celebrations, whether you're spending the evening in Oxford, staying somewhere in the countryside or hosting a party at home or at a private venue.

Guests can choose colours to complement the party theme, their outfits or simply whatever catches their eye.

It also works nicely alongside cocktails or mocktails, music and other hen party activities.

Corporate Event Glitter Bars

Glitter isn't reserved for weddings and birthday parties.

Corporate event entertainment can sometimes be a little predictable, particularly for summer parties and informal celebrations. A glitter bar gives employees and guests something interactive to do without requiring everyone to participate at exactly the same time.

It can work particularly well for:

Company summer parties
Christmas parties
Staff celebrations
Family fun days
Pride events
Brand activations
Festivals
Product launches
Informal networking events

For branded events, talk to us about your theme and event colours when enquiring.

Festival and Public Event Glitter Bars

Oxfordshire has no shortage of festivals, village celebrations, community days and outdoor events.

Glitter Elements can provide a glitter bar for festivals and public events, with different booking options depending on how the event is organised.

For some events, the organiser may cover the cost of glitter application so visitors can participate for free. At others, guests can pay individually to get glittered.

If you're organising a festival, school event, community celebration or family fun day, get in touch with your expected attendance and event details so we can recommend the most suitable setup.

What Glitter Do We Use?

Not all glitter belongs on someone's face.

Glitter Elements uses cosmetic-grade biodegradable glitter suitable for cosmetic application rather than ordinary craft glitter.

Our glitter bar also includes the application tools and hygiene supplies needed to operate professionally throughout your event.

Using biodegradable glitter is particularly important to us for outdoor events, festivals and weddings where reducing unnecessary plastic waste is a consideration.

You still get the sparkle. Just without relying on conventional plastic glitter.

What's Included With Glitter Bar Hire?

When you book a Glitter Elements glitter bar, we bring what we need to create the experience.

Our glitter bar hire includes:

Professional glitter artist
Styled glitter bar
A wide selection of cosmetic-grade biodegradable glitter
Glitter application for faces, hair and beards
Application tools and hygiene supplies
Illuminated neon sign
Set-up and pack-down
Public liability insurance

Optional extras are available for events that need a little more styling or entertainment.

How Much Does Glitter Bar Hire Cost in Oxfordshire?

Our private glitter bar hire starts from £150 per hour, with a minimum two-hour booking.

The right booking length will depend on your guest numbers and the type of event you're planning.

A small private party will have very different requirements from a large wedding or public festival, so tell us roughly how many people you're expecting when you enquire.

For public and community events, different pricing arrangements may also be available depending on whether the organiser or individual visitors will be paying.

Where in Oxfordshire Do You Cover?

Glitter Elements is based in Oxfordshire and provides mobile glitter bar hire across the county and surrounding areas.

This can include events in and around:

Oxford
Abingdon
Didcot
Wantage
Wallingford
Witney
Bicester
Thame
Banbury
Kidlington
Woodstock
Faringdon
Chipping Norton
Henley-on-Thames
The surrounding Oxfordshire villages

We're also happy to travel further afield, including into neighbouring areas of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and the Cotswolds, depending on the event.

If you're unsure whether we cover your venue, just ask. For larger events and weddings, travelling further isn't necessarily a problem.

Choosing a Glitter Bar for Your Oxfordshire Event

When comparing glitter bar hire companies, don't base your decision on price alone.

It's worth checking what is actually included in the booking, what type of glitter is being used, whether the provider carries appropriate insurance and whether set-up and pack-down are included.

You should also consider the overall appearance of the glitter station, particularly for weddings and professionally styled events where it will become part of the room.

Most importantly, choose somebody you trust to interact with your guests. A glitter artist isn't just there to apply glitter. They'll be chatting to children, wedding guests, employees or members of the public throughout your event.

Looking for Glitter Bar Hire in Oxfordshire?

Whether you're organising a wedding in Oxford, children's birthday party in Abingdon, celebration in Didcot, hen party in the Cotswolds or corporate event elsewhere in Oxfordshire, Glitter Elements can bring the sparkle to you.

Our mobile glitter bars are designed for weddings, parties, festivals, children's events, corporate celebrations and public events, with biodegradable cosmetic glitter and everything needed to create a colourful addition to your day.
