Portsmouth children go wild for virtual Easter party

For many children’s entertainers across Portsmouth, the show must go on during lockdown.

Jayne and Justin Pannell, the husband and wife behind Children’s Parties Portsmouth, delivered the annual Easter party for the Carlton Club, Farlington, from their Portsmouth home at the bank holiday weekend.

Jayne says:

‘We normally do a party for the Carlton Club at Easter. But obviously because of the virus we had to cancel.

‘Instead, we went ahead with an online party. Lots of the members’ children and grandchildren joined in.’

Justin Pannell danced the day away with Bella the bunny while 40 families joined in via Zoom.

‘We loved it. It was so nice we could still put on the party for them,’ adds Jayne.
