A Breckland DJ you already know
Breckland has been home ground for most of my career. I joined the Wayland Chamber of Trade in 1983, and Thetford, Brandon and the villages along the Norfolk–Suffolk border have kept me busy ever since, from school discos and 18ths to weddings and golden anniversaries.
In 2024 the Thetford & Brandon Times ran a feature on my story, “Norfolk DJ Tinsel Tim still going after 48 years”. You can read about the Thetford & Brandon Times feature on my site. Two years on, it’s 50 years, and booking DJ hire in Thetford still means one person from the first call to the last song.
“We recently had Tim at RAF Marham for a Kids Disco — he was absolutely brilliant. The families and kids had an amazing evening.”

School discos and proms in Thetford
School events are a big part of DJ hire in Thetford. Whether you’re a PTA organising a disco or a year group planning a prom, here’s what I sort out with you.
Safe and clean
I’m enhanced DBS checked, and my software cuts swearing out of the tracks themselves, so the playlist is fine for every age in the room.
Two sessions, one evening
Primary discos often run as an early session for younger children and a later one for older years. Tell me the timings and I’ll pitch the music and games to each group.
Proms with a wow factor
The VIP Prom Showstopper gives four hours of disco and lighting at £550, with a parent-approved do-not-play list, and the Prom Night package adds a Red Carpet Photo Booth, at £950.
Paperwork for the school
Schools usually want proof of insurance and PAT testing. My certificates are ready to send, and I carry £10 million Public Liability Insurance.
Parties along the Norfolk–Suffolk border
Thetford sits right on the county line, and so do a lot of the parties I play round here.
Brandon, Weeting and Lakenheath
Village hall birthdays and family parties just over the border into Suffolk, and in the villages on the Norfolk side.
Harling, Kenninghall and Banham
South Norfolk village halls that are perfect for 18ths, 40ths and anniversaries, with room to dance and a friendly crowd.
Clubs and the golf club
Social club nights, sports club functions and dinners at Thetford Golf Club, from background music over dinner to a full disco.
Christmas in Thetford
Works do’s and festive parties in the town’s hotels, pubs and halls. December fills up fast. Christmas party DJ hire.
Tim at work
Real nights and real guests, from children’s parties to retro nights and big birthdays.

DJ hire in Thetford: your questions
Booking & prices
How much does DJ hire in Thetford cost?
School discos and children’s parties start at £225, birthdays, anniversaries and Boogie Bingo at £450, and weddings at £525, up to £1,950 for the whole day. Your quote is agreed in writing first.
Is there a deposit?
Yes, 45% to secure the date. The balance can be paid in one go or spread over interest-free monthly instalments.
Can a school pay by invoice?
Get in touch and we’ll agree how the school would like to book and pay. Every booking comes with a written contract, and the deposit secures the date.
Can we add a photo booth to a prom?
Yes. The Prom Night package includes a Red Carpet Photo Booth, or you can add the Selfie Pod to any booking from £375.
Your venue & the night
Do you cover Brandon and the Suffolk side?
Yes. Brandon, Weeting, Lakenheath and the Suffolk villages near the border are all within my area, as well as the whole of Breckland on the Norfolk side.
Will you fit in a small village hall?
Yes. I’ve set up in halls all over Breckland, and the kit is scaled to the room so there’s still space for a proper dancefloor.
Is it you who turns up on the night?
Yes. I play every disco and party myself, and I’ve never missed a booking.
Can the disco suit children with additional needs?
Yes. Sensory-Friendly Disco Mode is free: reduced strobe and flash, a warning before any flash effect, and volume agreed in advance. It works well for SEN schools and inclusive discos.
