It's also not far from our base in Corby, so The Digital Magician is often in the area. A masked performer, identity unknown, who does magic with phones, iPads, laptops and screens. That suits a city built around business parks and fast broadband rather than old market squares.
Training days and conferences at Kents Hill Park
Kents Hill Park is one of the biggest dedicated conference and training centres in the country, with dozens of meeting rooms and quick access to the M1. It handles anything from a small team away day to a full company conference. Lots of national companies run residential courses there.
After a long day of workshops, the evening is when you want people to relax and mix. Close-up magic over dinner does that nicely, and it beats another pub quiz.
It's especially useful when the delegates have come from different offices and don't know each other yet. Nothing breaks the ice like a stranger's phone doing something it shouldn't.
Big nights at Stadium MK
The DoubleTree by Hilton at Stadium MK has a ballroom that takes up to a thousand guests, and it's a regular home for awards dinners and Christmas parties in the area.
With that many people, the stage show is the way to go, with the magic up on the screens. Pair it with roaming during the drinks reception and you've covered the whole night. Arena MK next door takes even bigger crowds if you're planning something huge.
Our awards and Christmas parties page goes into more detail.
Launches and sales kick-offs
MK businesses run a lot of internal events: sales kick-offs, product briefings, annual roadshows. A bespoke product reveal can put your new thing in the spotlight in a way people actually remember.
Tell us what you're launching and we'll work out together what the magic could do with it. The earlier we hear about it, the more options there are.
A sales team that's just sat through two hours of targets will thank you for it, too.
Private events around Milton Keynes
Birthdays, weddings and family parties across Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire. Older villages like Olney and Stony Stratford have some lovely spots for a party.
Let us know what you're planning and we'll check the date. We'll also tell you honestly whether close-up or a show suits the party better.
