Who are Captain Fantastic?
Captain Fantastic have been entertaining children for over a decade and voted the UK's number one children's entertainment company with over 750 five star reviews.
Up until last month, we were doing 50 kids parties a weekend, supporting 7 hardworking full-time staff and 40 entertainers.
Since the Coronavirus has hit, every single party has understandably canceled or postponed, crippling our business.
Regardless of all this, we are trying to stay positive.
The show must go on!
Thank you for all your support.more...

Noah's Ark Town Centre Easter Trail Free activity around Hertford Town Centre for all the family to enjoy
The annual free Easter trail in Hertford Town Centre returns for 2020 and will be Noah's Ark themed. Hertford Town Council has once again joined forces with the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, the group behind the hugely popular Hertford Town Centre Christmas tree, poppy installation at Hertford Castle and they have recently revealed their next installation will take place at the Hertford Castle VE Day event.
The free Easter trail is aimed at children to enjoy with their families and friends, and runs from Saturday 4th April to Saturday 18th April.
Knitted Noah's Ark paired animals will be hiding in shops and other locations around the town centre and include elephants, koalas, monkeys, lions, giraffes and many more (see photographs)
To take part in the trail, families should visit Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre, in The Wash opposite Hertford Theatre, to pick up a trail map.
Children will need to locate the knitted animals created by members of the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters in a minimum of 15 of the 20 businesses taking part around the town.
Once they have completed the trail, they will be able to collect a badge from the Town and Tourist Information Centre and submit your completed form for a chance to win a £30, £20 or £10 gift voucher to spend at a Hertford retailer.
The themed trail has been created to encourage locals and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers and traders within the county town.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council's Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: "Hertford Town Council's town centre trails are always popular, and tracking down the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters' knitted Noah's Ark animals will provide a fun activity for children this Easter. I'm sure adults will also enjoy looking out for the knitted characters as they visit shops around the town centre."
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters said: "The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters is delighted to be collaborating with Hertford Town Council by providing handmade crafted figures for the Noah's Ark trail. We hope children will have lots of fun finding them all. Raffle tickets costing £1 will also be sold at the Town and Tourist Information Centre for a chance to win one of the knitted animals. Proceeds from the raffle tickets will go towards funding future projects."

Noah’s Ark Town Centre Easter Trail
Hertford Town Centre, The Wash, Hertford, SG14 1PS
Sat 4th April 2020 - Sat 18th April 2020
Noah's Ark Town Centre Easter Trail Free activity around Hertford Town Centre for all the family to enjoy
The annual free Easter trail in Hertford Town Centre returns for 2020 and will be Noah's Ark themed. Hertford Town Council has once again joined forces with the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, the group behind the hugely popular Hertford Town Centre Christmas tree, poppy installation at Hertford Castle and they have recently revealed their next installation will take place at the Hertford Castle VE Day event.
The free Easter trail is aimed at children to enjoy with their families and friends, and runs from Saturday 4th April to Saturday 18th April.
Knitted Noah's Ark paired animals will be hiding in shops and other locations around the town centre and include elephants, koalas, monkeys, lions, giraffes and many more (see photographs)
To take part in the trail, families should visit Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre, in The Wash opposite Hertford Theatre, to pick up a trail map.
Children will need to locate the knitted animals created by members of the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters in a minimum of 15 of the 20 businesses taking part around the town.
Once they have completed the trail, they will be able to collect a badge from the Town and Tourist Information Centre and submit your completed form for a chance to win a £30, £20 or £10 gift voucher to spend at a Hertford retailer.
The themed trail has been created to encourage locals and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers and traders within the county town.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council's Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: "Hertford Town Council's town centre trails are always popular, and tracking down the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters' knitted Noah's Ark animals will provide a fun activity for children this Easter. I'm sure adults will also enjoy looking out for the knitted characters as they visit shops around the town centre."
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters said: "The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters is delighted to be collaborating with Hertford Town Council by providing handmade crafted figures for the Noah's Ark trail. We hope children will have lots of fun finding them all. Raffle tickets costing £1 will also be sold at the Town and Tourist Information Centre for a chance to win one of the knitted animals. Proceeds from the raffle tickets will go towards funding future projects."

Hertford Town Centre, The Wash, Hertford, SG14 1PS
Sat 4th April 2020 - Sat 18th April 2020
Noah's Ark Town Centre Easter Trail Free activity around Hertford Town Centre for all the family to enjoy
The annual free Easter trail in Hertford Town Centre returns for 2020 and will be Noah's Ark themed. Hertford Town Council has once again joined forces with the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, the group behind the hugely popular Hertford Town Centre Christmas tree, poppy installation at Hertford Castle and they have recently revealed their next installation will take place at the Hertford Castle VE Day event.
The free Easter trail is aimed at children to enjoy with their families and friends, and runs from Saturday 4th April to Saturday 18th April.
Knitted Noah's Ark paired animals will be hiding in shops and other locations around the town centre and include elephants, koalas, monkeys, lions, giraffes and many more (see photographs)
To take part in the trail, families should visit Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre, in The Wash opposite Hertford Theatre, to pick up a trail map.
Children will need to locate the knitted animals created by members of the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters in a minimum of 15 of the 20 businesses taking part around the town.
Once they have completed the trail, they will be able to collect a badge from the Town and Tourist Information Centre and submit your completed form for a chance to win a £30, £20 or £10 gift voucher to spend at a Hertford retailer.
The themed trail has been created to encourage locals and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers and traders within the county town.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council's Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: "Hertford Town Council's town centre trails are always popular, and tracking down the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters' knitted Noah's Ark animals will provide a fun activity for children this Easter. I'm sure adults will also enjoy looking out for the knitted characters as they visit shops around the town centre."
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters said: "The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters is delighted to be collaborating with Hertford Town Council by providing handmade crafted figures for the Noah's Ark trail. We hope children will have lots of fun finding them all. Raffle tickets costing £1 will also be sold at the Town and Tourist Information Centre for a chance to win one of the knitted animals. Proceeds from the raffle tickets will go towards funding future projects."

Noah’s Ark Town Centre Easter Trail

Sat 4th April 2020 - Sat 18th April 2020
Noah's Ark Town Centre Easter Trail Free activity around Hertford Town Centre for all the family to enjoy
The annual free Easter trail in Hertford Town Centre returns for 2020 and will be Noah's Ark themed. Hertford Town Council has once again joined forces with the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, the group behind the hugely popular Hertford Town Centre Christmas tree, poppy installation at Hertford Castle and they have recently revealed their next installation will take place at the Hertford Castle VE Day event.
The free Easter trail is aimed at children to enjoy with their families and friends, and runs from Saturday 4th April to Saturday 18th April.
Knitted Noah's Ark paired animals will be hiding in shops and other locations around the town centre and include elephants, koalas, monkeys, lions, giraffes and many more (see photographs)
To take part in the trail, families should visit Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre, in The Wash opposite Hertford Theatre, to pick up a trail map.
Children will need to locate the knitted animals created by members of the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters in a minimum of 15 of the 20 businesses taking part around the town.
Once they have completed the trail, they will be able to collect a badge from the Town and Tourist Information Centre and submit your completed form for a chance to win a £30, £20 or £10 gift voucher to spend at a Hertford retailer.
The themed trail has been created to encourage locals and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers and traders within the county town.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council's Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: "Hertford Town Council's town centre trails are always popular, and tracking down the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters' knitted Noah's Ark animals will provide a fun activity for children this Easter. I'm sure adults will also enjoy looking out for the knitted characters as they visit shops around the town centre."
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters said: "The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters is delighted to be collaborating with Hertford Town Council by providing handmade crafted figures for the Noah's Ark trail. We hope children will have lots of fun finding them all. Raffle tickets costing £1 will also be sold at the Town and Tourist Information Centre for a chance to win one of the knitted animals. Proceeds from the raffle tickets will go towards funding future projects."

Sat 4th April 2020 - Sat 18th April 2020
Noah's Ark Town Centre Easter Trail Free activity around Hertford Town Centre for all the family to enjoy
The annual free Easter trail in Hertford Town Centre returns for 2020 and will be Noah's Ark themed. Hertford Town Council has once again joined forces with the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, the group behind the hugely popular Hertford Town Centre Christmas tree, poppy installation at Hertford Castle and they have recently revealed their next installation will take place at the Hertford Castle VE Day event.
The free Easter trail is aimed at children to enjoy with their families and friends, and runs from Saturday 4th April to Saturday 18th April.
Knitted Noah's Ark paired animals will be hiding in shops and other locations around the town centre and include elephants, koalas, monkeys, lions, giraffes and many more (see photographs)
To take part in the trail, families should visit Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre, in The Wash opposite Hertford Theatre, to pick up a trail map.
Children will need to locate the knitted animals created by members of the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters in a minimum of 15 of the 20 businesses taking part around the town.
Once they have completed the trail, they will be able to collect a badge from the Town and Tourist Information Centre and submit your completed form for a chance to win a £30, £20 or £10 gift voucher to spend at a Hertford retailer.
The themed trail has been created to encourage locals and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers and traders within the county town.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council's Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: "Hertford Town Council's town centre trails are always popular, and tracking down the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters' knitted Noah's Ark animals will provide a fun activity for children this Easter. I'm sure adults will also enjoy looking out for the knitted characters as they visit shops around the town centre."
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters said: "The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters is delighted to be collaborating with Hertford Town Council by providing handmade crafted figures for the Noah's Ark trail. We hope children will have lots of fun finding them all. Raffle tickets costing £1 will also be sold at the Town and Tourist Information Centre for a chance to win one of the knitted animals. Proceeds from the raffle tickets will go towards funding future projects."

Sat 4th April 2020 - Sat 18th April 2020
Noah's Ark Town Centre Easter Trail Free activity around Hertford Town Centre for all the family to enjoy
The annual free Easter trail in Hertford Town Centre returns for 2020 and will be Noah's Ark themed. Hertford Town Council has once again joined forces with the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, the group behind the hugely popular Hertford Town Centre Christmas tree, poppy installation at Hertford Castle and they have recently revealed their next installation will take place at the Hertford Castle VE Day event.
The free Easter trail is aimed at children to enjoy with their families and friends, and runs from Saturday 4th April to Saturday 18th April.
Knitted Noah's Ark paired animals will be hiding in shops and other locations around the town centre and include elephants, koalas, monkeys, lions, giraffes and many more (see photographs)
To take part in the trail, families should visit Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre, in The Wash opposite Hertford Theatre, to pick up a trail map.
Children will need to locate the knitted animals created by members of the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters in a minimum of 15 of the 20 businesses taking part around the town.
Once they have completed the trail, they will be able to collect a badge from the Town and Tourist Information Centre and submit your completed form for a chance to win a £30, £20 or £10 gift voucher to spend at a Hertford retailer.
The themed trail has been created to encourage locals and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers and traders within the county town.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council's Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: "Hertford Town Council's town centre trails are always popular, and tracking down the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters' knitted Noah's Ark animals will provide a fun activity for children this Easter. I'm sure adults will also enjoy looking out for the knitted characters as they visit shops around the town centre."
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters said: "The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters is delighted to be collaborating with Hertford Town Council by providing handmade crafted figures for the Noah's Ark trail. We hope children will have lots of fun finding them all. Raffle tickets costing £1 will also be sold at the Town and Tourist Information Centre for a chance to win one of the knitted animals. Proceeds from the raffle tickets will go towards funding future projects."

Noah’s Ark Town Centre Easter Trail
Hertford Town Centre, The Wash, Hertford, SG14 1PS
Sat 4th April 2020 - Sat 18th April 2020
Noah's Ark Town Centre Easter Trail Free activity around Hertford Town Centre for all the family to enjoy
The annual free Easter trail in Hertford Town Centre returns for 2020 and will be Noah's Ark themed. Hertford Town Council has once again joined forces with the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, the group behind the hugely popular Hertford Town Centre Christmas tree, poppy installation at Hertford Castle and they have recently revealed their next installation will take place at the Hertford Castle VE Day event.
The free Easter trail is aimed at children to enjoy with their families and friends, and runs from Saturday 4th April to Saturday 18th April.
Knitted Noah's Ark paired animals will be hiding in shops and other locations around the town centre and include elephants, koalas, monkeys, lions, giraffes and many more (see photographs)
To take part in the trail, families should visit Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre, in The Wash opposite Hertford Theatre, to pick up a trail map.
Children will need to locate the knitted animals created by members of the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters in a minimum of 15 of the 20 businesses taking part around the town.
Once they have completed the trail, they will be able to collect a badge from the Town and Tourist Information Centre and submit your completed form for a chance to win a £30, £20 or £10 gift voucher to spend at a Hertford retailer.
The themed trail has been created to encourage locals and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers and traders within the county town.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council's Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: "Hertford Town Council's town centre trails are always popular, and tracking down the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters' knitted Noah's Ark animals will provide a fun activity for children this Easter. I'm sure adults will also enjoy looking out for the knitted characters as they visit shops around the town centre."
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters said: "The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters is delighted to be collaborating with Hertford Town Council by providing handmade crafted figures for the Noah's Ark trail. We hope children will have lots of fun finding them all. Raffle tickets costing £1 will also be sold at the Town and Tourist Information Centre for a chance to win one of the knitted animals. Proceeds from the raffle tickets will go towards funding future projects."

Noah’s Ark Town Centre Easter Trail
Hertford Town Centre, The Wash, Hertford, SG14 1PS
Sat 4th April 2020 - Sat 18th April 2020
Noah's Ark Town Centre Easter Trail Free activity around Hertford Town Centre for all the family to enjoy
The annual free Easter trail in Hertford Town Centre returns for 2020 and will be Noah's Ark themed. Hertford Town Council has once again joined forces with the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, the group behind the hugely popular Hertford Town Centre Christmas tree, poppy installation at Hertford Castle and they have recently revealed their next installation will take place at the Hertford Castle VE Day event.
The free Easter trail is aimed at children to enjoy with their families and friends, and runs from Saturday 4th April to Saturday 18th April.
Knitted Noah's Ark paired animals will be hiding in shops and other locations around the town centre and include elephants, koalas, monkeys, lions, giraffes and many more (see photographs)
To take part in the trail, families should visit Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre, in The Wash opposite Hertford Theatre, to pick up a trail map.
Children will need to locate the knitted animals created by members of the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters in a minimum of 15 of the 20 businesses taking part around the town.
Once they have completed the trail, they will be able to collect a badge from the Town and Tourist Information Centre and submit your completed form for a chance to win a £30, £20 or £10 gift voucher to spend at a Hertford retailer.
The themed trail has been created to encourage locals and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers and traders within the county town.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council's Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: "Hertford Town Council's town centre trails are always popular, and tracking down the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters' knitted Noah's Ark animals will provide a fun activity for children this Easter. I'm sure adults will also enjoy looking out for the knitted characters as they visit shops around the town centre."
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters said: "The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters is delighted to be collaborating with Hertford Town Council by providing handmade crafted figures for the Noah's Ark trail. We hope children will have lots of fun finding them all. Raffle tickets costing £1 will also be sold at the Town and Tourist Information Centre for a chance to win one of the knitted animals. Proceeds from the raffle tickets will go towards funding future projects."

Noah’s Ark Town Centre Easter Trail
Hertford Town Centre, The Wash, Hertford, SG14 1PS
Sat 4th April 2020 - Sat 18th April 2020
Noah's Ark Town Centre Easter Trail Free activity around Hertford Town Centre for all the family to enjoy
The annual free Easter trail in Hertford Town Centre returns for 2020 and will be Noah's Ark themed. Hertford Town Council has once again joined forces with the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, the group behind the hugely popular Hertford Town Centre Christmas tree, poppy installation at Hertford Castle and they have recently revealed their next installation will take place at the Hertford Castle VE Day event.
The free Easter trail is aimed at children to enjoy with their families and friends, and runs from Saturday 4th April to Saturday 18th April.
Knitted Noah's Ark paired animals will be hiding in shops and other locations around the town centre and include elephants, koalas, monkeys, lions, giraffes and many more (see photographs)
To take part in the trail, families should visit Hertford Town and Tourist Information Centre, in The Wash opposite Hertford Theatre, to pick up a trail map.
Children will need to locate the knitted animals created by members of the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters in a minimum of 15 of the 20 businesses taking part around the town.
Once they have completed the trail, they will be able to collect a badge from the Town and Tourist Information Centre and submit your completed form for a chance to win a £30, £20 or £10 gift voucher to spend at a Hertford retailer.
The themed trail has been created to encourage locals and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers and traders within the county town.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council's Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: "Hertford Town Council's town centre trails are always popular, and tracking down the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters' knitted Noah's Ark animals will provide a fun activity for children this Easter. I'm sure adults will also enjoy looking out for the knitted characters as they visit shops around the town centre."
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters said: "The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters is delighted to be collaborating with Hertford Town Council by providing handmade crafted figures for the Noah's Ark trail. We hope children will have lots of fun finding them all. Raffle tickets costing £1 will also be sold at the Town and Tourist Information Centre for a chance to win one of the knitted animals. Proceeds from the raffle tickets will go towards funding future projects."

Noah's Ark Town Centre Easter Trail Free activity around Hertford Town Centre for all the family to enjoy
The annual free Easter trail in Hertford Town Centre returns for 2020 and will be Noah's Ark themed. Hertford Town Council has once again joined forces with the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters, the group behind the hugely popular Hertford Town Centre Christmas tree, poppy installation at Hertford Castle and they have recently revealed their next installation will take place at the Hertford Castle VE Day event.
The free Easter trail is aimed at children to enjoy with their families and friends, and runs from Saturday 4th April to Saturday 18th April.

Children will need to locate the knitted animals created by members of the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters in a minimum of 15 of the 20 businesses taking part around the town.
Once they have completed the trail, they will be able to collect a badge from the Town and Tourist Information Centre and submit your completed form for a chance to win a £30, £20 or £10 gift voucher to spend at a Hertford retailer.
The themed trail has been created to encourage locals and visitors to explore and discover the broad range of independent and national retailers and traders within the county town.
Chairman of Hertford Town Council's Development and Leisure Committee, Cllr Jane Sartin, said: "Hertford Town Council's town centre trails are always popular, and tracking down the Secret Society of Hertford Crafters' knitted Noah's Ark animals will provide a fun activity for children this Easter. I'm sure adults will also enjoy looking out for the knitted characters as they visit shops around the town centre."
The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters said: "The Secret Society of Hertford Crafters is delighted to be collaborating with Hertford Town Council by providing handmade crafted figures for the Noah's Ark trail. We hope children will have lots of fun finding them all. Raffle tickets costing £1 will also be sold at the Town and Tourist Information Centre for a chance to win one of the knitted animals.
