Captain Fantastic helps make magical memories for children supported by The Chartwell Children’s Cancer Trust
Captain Fantastic, the UK’s premier children’s party franchise company has helped make magical memories for children supported by The Chartwell Children’s Cancer Trust. Captain Fantastic’s professional entertainer Nathaniel McCloskey hosted a special magic show at the Holiday Inn, Bexley, Kent on 13 April 2025.
The Chartwell Children’s Cancer Trust’s mission is to improve the lives of cancer and leukaemia patients and oncology communities by making a real difference to cancer care throughout London and the South-East.
Nathaniel McCloskey is a trained actor who has worked as chief entertainer at Captain Fantastic in Kent since 2017 and is owner of the Dartford franchised branch. This event follows another show performed by Nathaniel for the charity at the end of last year. He explains: “It was wonderful to meet so many children and families supported by the Trust. There was a range of ages, so I tailored our usual magic show and added puppetry and a disco so everyone was engaged and had fun. I feel privileged to have been able to bring Captain Fantastic’s magic show to the children and spread happiness and make magical memories.”
One Oncology family said: “The Chartwell Children’s Cancer Trust is a wonderful help to our family during a very difficult time. The meet-ups have helped us to connect with other families enduring the same heartbreaking situation of having a child with cancer. It is so nice to be able to get out and do something fun with other families and just do something nice for a change. The team work tirelessly to organise and arrange them, and we really appreciate that.”
Captain Fantastic was originally set up in London in 2010 and was franchised in 2017. Each regional branch franchise is run by entertainers such as Nathaniel who have a history of performing on stages across the country, using their skills to engage audiences on a daily basis. Captain Fantastic has been voted the UK's Number One children's entertainment company by the trusted reviewing site FreeIndex.
