UPPING THE FUN FACTOR!

Life can get a little serious at times, which is why we could all benefit from the entertainment and party services offered by Glitter and Gore.

When British expat and professional performer LIZZI first came to Hong Kong, it was to teach drama; but she quickly noticed a niche in the entertainment business.

“People in Hong Kong tend to be time poor, and loaded with work and stress. I felt there was an opening to create immersive entertainment that’s unique, memorable and fun – the kind of thing that’s worth people spending their time and money on when they’re busy.”

That’s why she started Glitter and Gore. (The name comes from Lizzi’s two favourite times of the year: Christmas and Halloween.) Combining her passion and experience on and off stage, Lizzi and her team offer what they call “FUNtertainment” – namely, fun experiences for kids, families, adults and companies alike.

“The aim is to make memorable moments for people to enjoy with their friends and families, and to boost positivity and wellbeing at the same time.”

Since its launch, the company has grown to offer a wider range of experiences. For kids (and big kids!), there are interactive themed parties, “whodunnit” parties and more – or you can let them know your own ideas for a special celebration and they’ll do the rest. For corporate groups, they

can add a bit of zest to your annual dinner, company celebration or work get-together.

Glitter and Gore also offers unique holiday experiences throughout the year, for example at Christmas, Halloween, Easter and Valentine’s Day (not to mention a few lesser known holidays, like International Scavenger Hunt Day and Drive-In Movie Day…).

These are growing in popularity, so it seems like people in Hong Kong must have an increasing appetite for fun! “We started our Christmas event in 2016,” says Lizzi, “and it used to just be a single Sunday each year. But we ended up selling four events last year!”

So, watch this space for when tickets start going on sale – probably around October. And get in touch with the Glitter and Gore team for organising any fun festivities in the meantime.
