We’re National Finalists! Tykie Time Entertainment Shortlisted for Best Mobile Business 2026

Trace our journey from South Wales to Shropshire

You might be surprised to learn how far we have come to reach this stage. Our founder, Richard, spent years as an entertainer within the music industry before taking some time out. About six or seven years ago, the journey brought him from South Wales to the beautiful Cleobury Mortimer, right on the border of Worcestershire and Shropshire.

You may have first encountered us back in 2022. That was when Richard and his wife, Sam, started spinning tracks on Buzbeats Internet Radio. It was a local station that allowed us to reconnect with our love for music. From there, the "gigging boots" went back on, and the equipment list started to grow. Today, you see the result: a full-scale entertainment powerhouse serving your local community.

Discover our full range of entertainment packages

You don't just get a mobile disco when you work with us. You get a complete entertainment experience tailored to your specific needs. We have grown from simple DJ sets to offering comprehensive packages that cover everything from wedding-packages to lively kids' celebrations.

If you are planning a wedding dj shropshire event, you know the atmosphere has to be perfect. We focus on the details that make your day unique. If you need a kids disco party shropshire specialist, we bring the energy and the mascots that keep the little ones smiling. We even offer silent-headphone-discos for those who want something a bit different.

Hear from Richard about the passion behind the scenes

"I simply cannot believe it," says Richard, our founder and the entertainer you see at your parties. He is in total disbelief but feels incredibly grateful for the recognition. He knows that entertaining can be hard and the hours are much longer than people often think.

You see the finished product on the night, but there are hours of prep, travel, and set-up involved. Richard does it because he simply loves entertaining people. Seeing you dance and celebrate makes every long hour worth it. This award belongs to everyone who has invited us to be a part of their special moments.
