Suppliers
Wise Productions
A great way to incorporate a Christmas or winter theme for festive entertainment is to project patterns such as snowflakes to compliment the lighting design of warm golds and cool blues. Wise Productions loved this corporate event at Natural History Museum last year and the team is looking forward to creating similar looks this season.
Sternberg Clarke
It’s time to get Christmassy! With a ton of weird and wonderful acts to choose from, Sternberg Clarke will have what you’re looking for. And if we don’t, just ask – we’ll see what we can do.
Aerial Ice Dancer, Alissa, is a unique addition to any Christmas bash. One minute she’s hanging from a trapeze, the next she’s twirling on the ice.
Eric the Explorer injects fun and silliness into an event. Eric will wonder the party, potentially spreading befuddlement, but definitely spreading laughter!
Living Christmas Trees. Exactly as it sounds – people hidden inside fake Christmas trees which burst to life. Simple, but brilliant!
