History

Pixieland Parties was established in 2003 after Trixie the Pixie noticed a need for professional children's entertainers in the Newcastle Region. A Hunter Region local herself, Trixie set up Pixieland headquarters in Hamilton and hasn't looked back!

 

Trixie has been a performer her entire life - dancing & acting her way through childhood, high school and then later studying drama as part of her B.Arts (Communication Studies) at the University of Newcastle, 2000-2002. She has been teaching dance for many years and simply loves to work with children!! See www.huntervalleydancecentre.com.au

 

In 2004, Trixie began to recruit & train fellow entertainers in the pixie arts. From here the Pixieland troupe began to grow.

 

In October 2008 we welcomed our new co-director, Fairy Lilly, who hopes to bring even more fun & professionalism to the freshly restructured Pixieland Parties Pty Ltd. Fairy Lilly has been part of the pixie family since April 2004, coming to us with a background in theatre and acting, as well as special talents such as singing & puppetry and a Diploma Education (Primary). She has been a very popular entertainer over the past 5 & a half years, and will now join Trixie in our new Pixie HQ located in Hudson St, Hamilton.

 

With many talented & energetic performers committed to providing fun & professional children's entertainment, there is never a dull moment around Pixieland!

From a variety of backgrounds including childcare, music/singing, education, drama, dance, and more - the pixies never cease to amaze audiences of all ages.
