Alia Cruz
Founder
EYFS (Early years), Youth Work, Children's Entertainer, Organiser, Planner, Host, Artist and Face painter, Designer
Alia has worn many hats over the years, all centred around bringing people together and creating memorable experiences. She’s worked with children, young people, and adults in all sorts of settings – from nursery practitioner to children’s holiday entertainer and party host at an activity centre, to general manager of a bustling coffee shop, and now as a Learning Manager at a world-renowned museum.
Along the way, Alia has developed a toolkit of skills, tricks, and creative approaches for running art workshops, hosting parties of all kinds, and programming events from start to finish. What sets her apart is her ability to find the story that anchors an event – weaving in those details that make each experience feel unique, personal, and unforgettable.
With a background in childcare, plus qualifications in Art & Textiles and Psychology, Alia knows how to design and deliver bespoke, engaging events that cater to all ages and abilities. Whether it’s a children’s craft activity, a themed celebration, or a full-scale event, she brings ideas to life with creativity, care, and a big sense of fun.
