Want something different for your event on the Dorset coast? I’m Adam, a professional live caricaturist, drawing at weddings, conferences, hotel events and parties across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch.

I draw by hand, live, in around five minutes per person. There’s always a crowd, plenty of laughs, and every guest leaves with their own A3 caricature.

Seaside and hotel weddings
From clifftop hotels to beachside venues and harbourside celebrations, caricatures keep your guests entertained through the drinks reception and into the evening. They’re a wedding favour and entertainment in one, and guests actually take them home. Four hours usually covers 20–30 couples.

Conferences, exhibitions and corporate events
Bournemouth is one of the south coast’s busiest conference towns, and a caricaturist is one of the best ways to draw people to your exhibition stand. Visitors queue, you get time to talk to them, and they walk away with a drawing carrying your company name or logo. Caricatures also work brilliantly at staff away days, product launches, awards dinners and client evenings.

Christmas parties
Hotel Christmas party nights, office parties and festive dinners. Caricatures get everyone mixing, including the people who normally hide at the back, and give your team something to laugh about in January.

Student and university events
Balls, graduation celebrations, freshers’ events and society dinners. Caricatures make a great alternative to a photo booth: more personal, more fun, and nobody needs a prop.

Birthdays, hen parties and celebrations
Milestone birthdays from 18th to 100th, hen and stag parties, anniversaries and retirements. See my birthday parties page for more ideas.

Areas I cover
Bournemouth, Boscombe, Southbourne, Westbourne, Poole, Sandbanks, Parkstone, Christchurch, Highcliffe, Ferndown, Wimborne and the wider Dorset area. If your venue isn’t listed, just ask.
