Booking Walkabout Entertainment

Roaming entertainment is so hugely diverse, it completely depends on your event, audience and the atmosphere you want to create. Costume characters are a fantastic choice as they can be tailored to suit any theme and offer a diverse range of skills. From circus performers and magicians, to fortune tellers, caricaturists and body painters, our skilled walkabout artists can create immersive entertainment that compliments your theme and occasion. 

Options such as fire or LED dancers, giant animal characters, jumping stilt artists or robots can create wow-factor spectacles as they roam about guests with mesmerising costumes and a larger-than-life presence. They’re also a great way to maximise branding by incorporating logos and brand colours into their costumes or digital displays, especially during corporate events. Also, living tables and costumed walkabout servers are a novel way to serve food and keep guests topped up.

There are so many options! Contact our experienced team for tailored suggestions that will perfectly suit your event.

Yes! Roaming, roving, walkabout, mix and mingle… these terms all mean that the entertainment will mix and interact with guests. Whether your guests will be seated, standing, in a large crowd such as a festival or conference, or part of an intimate audience at a drinks reception or wedding, we can supply the perfect mix and mingle entertainment to keep them amused. 

Depending on your immersive event, occasion and intended ambience, we can help develop concepts with roaming musicians, close up magicians, comedians, art-based entertainment, circus performers and more!

One of our more popular options is roaming jazz bands. They can play in any venue, anywhere - be it a yacht, a garden, a rooftop terrace, or wandering around grand indoor venues. They provide your event with sophistication while on the move and can dance along with your guests while playing.

Another sophisticated yet fun option, fashion illustrators and silhouette artists can wander around the room mixing and mingling with your guests, providing the ultimate roaming event entertainment.

Of course, you can never go wrong with a classic: the close-up magician.

Family-friendly roaming entertainment is perfect for a shopping mall. As well as mix and mingle entertainment, our friendly costume characters can also perform short stage shows or add a fun and interactive element to branded pop-ups and activations. Walkabout animal characters in eye-catching costumes make fantastic interactive entertainment and photo opportunities for passers-by in shopping centres. Walkabout artists are able to perform a variety of additional skills such as acrobatics, dance, singing, comedy, stilt walking, magic and more, these head-turning acts are sure to entertain all ages.

For festivals, the more weird and wonderful the better! Stilts are fantastic as they offer a diverse range of head-turning costumes and themes, and add height to your entertainment that will be visually impactful as they tower over crowds. Be careful of mud though! Stilt walkers need solid ground to walk on so you may want to consider creating flooring or walkways in case the weather turns.

The next thing to consider is interactive entertainment. Comedy walkabout acts will engage with people as they pass, improvising comedy routines and delivering hilarious exchanges with festival-goers. Mix and mingle entertainment will bring your event to life.

Immersive events give the guests or audience the illusion of being transported to a real or imagined place by transforming the environment around them. Music, decor, props, visual stimulus and entertainment are often used to create a multi-sensory experience that forge an emotional connection and keeps the audience engaged and present in the moment.  

Growing in popularity over recent years, immersive events typically follow a theme or narrative where guests are taken on a journey. Roaming performers with pop-up sets are a great way to bring your chosen theme to life, choose from costumed stilt walkers, street theatre artists, themed walkabout characters and many more.
