Booking Stilt Walkers

What stilt walkers don’t we have! It is one of the most versatile forms of entertainment and therefore we have a roster full of stilt walkers all over the world each offering different costumes and routines - from circus themes, animals, flowers, robots, as well as comical characters, fantasy creatures and magnificent LED characters too. 

Some of these stilt walkers use bouncing stilts giving them more agility and dynamic bouncing strides! You will also find some of our acts have stilts on their arms too. These are often used by animal imitators and some of the more bizarre and surreal characters.

The wonderful and varied stilt walking acts on our roster all do different things aside from walking. In its purest, simplest form most of our stilt acts are roaming and will wander around your event or march at parades. We have circus-based acts that include juggling as well as acrobatic skills and there are dancers, musicians, animal impersonators and stage performers too.

This entirely depends on the stilt walkers you book for your event. They come in different shapes and sizes and therefore some will need a certain ceiling height so they don’t bang their heads. Some of our shorter stilt acts require a range between 3 and 4 metre clearance. Some of the acts use bouncing stilts and can leap up to 10 feet high and other straight stilts walkers can reach astonishing heights of over 10 meters. So, realistically these would only suit outdoor events. 

It completely varies from one act to another but generally, stilt walkers will perform a number of sets. These ranges from fifteen minutes to forty-five minutes. Stilt walking can be physically strenuous for the performers so they need to take breaks between the performances. With this formula, many of our stilt walking acts are able for several hours on and off for a whole day.

In theory, as many as you like. Realistically it will come down to budget and availability of artists and costumes. If you desire a mixture of stilt acts, then the possibilities are endless.

Not usually, no. Our performers are all experts and highly skilled at managing most types of flooring. You will find that some can, and will, walk up stairs and slopes. It is best to avoid plastic or vinyl flooring and surface water as these can be very slippery to stilts. Gravel, sand and wet grass are also no-nos. 

In some cases yes. If you have an idea in mind speak to us just so we can check that it doesn’t already exist as this would make life a lot easier.
