Award Winning local Entertainer!
Sandra, has lived in Boston Spa with her husband and 2 children since 1991. She runs a mobile Entertainment Service which she set up in 2004 after leaving her role as Human Resources Manager with the Police. She is exceptionally creative and her parties are always new and exciting.
She has set up a YouTube Channel offering free children’s activities, games, crafts, competitions, puzzles, songs, dance, jokes and much more. It’s all good fun and aimed at all age groups. Go to YouTube and search for Big Events Entertainment with Sandra.
The latest video was the Easter Special which involved the Easter Bunny auditioning for a famous movie and having the time of her life. It certainly caused some hilarity whilst filming on location at Jackdaw Crag!
The pandemic has been difficult for everyone, especially anyone working in hospitality and entertainment.
However, Sandra says “I am a very positive person and my glass is always half full and so I decided to take advantage of these unfortunate circumstances. COVID-19 has presented me with an opportunity to diversify, consolidate and explore other avenues of income.” During lockdown, whilst many of us were watching box sets and eating too much, she has started to offer adult parties and has written and published a book entitled “How to host the perfect kids party” which is a fabulous resource for anyone planning, organising or hosting, any type of event for any age group. She is currently working on a second book which she is very excited about. It’s about the adventures of Captain Cassie, a female pirate and her struggles living in a man’s world. It is educational and covers topics familiar with most children such as bullying, climate change and plastics in our oceans. It’s no ordinary book though because it is a hybrid with QR codes which open up videos with Captain Cassie herself acting out some of the scenes.
She is also appearing on Steph’s Packed Lunch as one of Steph McGovern’s lunch mates on Channel 4. It has certainly been a busy year with new and exciting adventures for Sandra!
The following QR code will open up a wonderful snail trail for the children to play outside. It’s perfect for social distancing, so much fun and similar to hopscotch but in my opinion much better. Unfortunately it has been lost over the years and forgotten about but Sandra would love to bring it back. Suitable for all ages, including adults so why not get stuck in and create some wonderful memories together? Simply scan the Quick Response Code below using your mobile phone which will open the video link for you. If you’d like to book a party with Sandra please call me on 07709 252579. Her website address is www.sandraentertainment.co.uk or you can scan the QR code in the leaflet above.
We are hoping that Sandra will become a regular contributor to Causeway, offering ideas for children’s activities. Perhaps she might even share a few of Captain Cassie’s adventures with us!
