Our family programming blends music, magic and licensed interactive kids’ entertainment. First introduced at the 2022 Paddington Festival, it’s now a trusted favourite for community events.
The Bluey Live Interactive Experience featured at the Green Heart Fair in Victoria Park. This interactive children’s experience drew steady crowds across the full-day program. Working with the licensed production team, we ensured a polished, professional and joy-filled performance that connected perfectly with the event’s family audience.

Hostile Entertainment delivered a full afternoon of family entertainment for this popular community festival, including a licensed interactive children’s experience alongside Magic Mike, Lizie Land and The Mini Moshers.

Across the four-day expo, Hostile Entertainment programmed a licensed interactive kids’ show for the Saturday and Sunday sessions, running from 10 am to 2 pm. Working with the Caravan Trade & Industries Association of Queensland, we helped create a dedicated family zone that lifted engagement and brought consistent foot traffic to the event.
Newstead Park, Brisbane
Sat 10th of February 2024
For Brisbane City Council’s bridge-opening celebration, we coordinated the licensed children’s experience for the morning program, drawing families to Newstead Park from 7 am to 10 am. Delivered for the Brisbane Sustainability Agency, the activation added a lively and welcoming atmosphere to a major civic milestone.
ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
TUES 22 – THURS 24 APRIL 2025
For this three-day school-holiday activation, we coordinated the licensed children’s experience at The Adelaide Myer Centre, welcoming families for free daily sessions from 10 am to 2 pm. The show brought a lively mix of music, movement and character interaction to the centre floor, attracting steady crowds throughout the event. Delivered in partnership with the Myer Centre team, it created a bright, family-friendly atmosphere that became a standout highlight of the holidays.

Yes. We regularly help councils, precincts, expos and community organisers design the right mix of family entertainment. If you’re unsure where to begin, we can recommend acts, structure a running order and create a tailored program that suits your space, timing and budget.
We’ve delivered children’s entertainment for major community festivals, caravan and camping expos, sustainability fairs, council events and shopping centres across Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Our work includes long-standing collaborations with national organisations and local government agencies.
Licensed children’s shows and high-demand acts often book out months ahead. If your event has a fixed date or is tied to a major expo or council activation, we recommend getting in touch early so we can secure availability.
Once you have event dates, times and location, we can check availability with the licensed production team and supply a quote. From there, a simple confirmation and contract secures your booking, and we take care of all coordination leading up to event day.
