About Ron & Hazel Wood

Peace of mind when you book

Jolly Good Fun since 1990
Ron and Hazel are multi-skilled professional entertainers who have been earning their living in entertainment since 1990. Over the years they have worked at events large and small and in venues of all kinds — from private homes, village halls and hotels to theatres, shopping centres, visitor attractions, festivals, agricultural shows, corporate events and large public celebrations.
Being multi-skilled means they can offer an unusually wide range of entertainment between them, including Punch & Judy, children's and close-up magic, face painting, balloon modelling, line dancing, Race Nights, workshops, Christmas entertainment and Toastmaster and Master of Ceremonies services.
Jolly Good Productions is not an entertainment agency. The people you contact are the people who provide the entertainment, so you can discuss your event directly with Ron and Hazel from the outset.
Experience you can rely on
Every event is different. Decades spent working with children, families, wedding guests, community groups, businesses and public audiences have given Ron and Hazel the experience to adapt to different venues, audiences and circumstances while keeping the entertainment friendly, professional and enjoyable.
Creative work by Hazel
Alongside face painting, line dancing and event entertainment, Hazel also creates bespoke handmade cake toppers for weddings, birthdays and special occasions. Each one is individually modelled and personalised from photographs and ideas.
Separate education website
Ron and Hazel also provide curriculum-based activity days for primary schools through Jolly Good Workshops for Schools. The education work is presented on a separate website so that teachers and entertainment customers each have information focused on what they need.
