About Sunsett Balloon Entertainment
Sunsett Balloon Entertainment has been running children's entertainment since 1999 and covers all areas of Sunderland and Washington from its base in Durham. The core of the offer is balloon modelling and twisting, with face painting, puppets, walk-around balloon entertainment and meet-and-greet sessions with small prizes, packaged for birthdays, christenings, weddings and school or community fairs.
The company states that its staff are Enhanced DBS checked and fully insured, that it is a full member of the Balloon Artists and Suppliers Industry Association, and that its artists are certified balloon artists.
