Goblins Reloaded!

First look at one of the new Goblin Chef characters that will replace our existing pair post Halloween. The Goblins were the first characters that Jamie and I ever built and the founding stone of what would become Creature Encounter, so it was through the conception, building and performance of this pair that we learnt what not to do! Re-inventing them eight years later provides an interesting opportunity to test the principles we have learnt along the way, will they work more if they embody everything we have learnt?

Re-invention 1

The first of our goblins to hit the life cast ready for moulding and transformation into our all new Goblin Gourmets, complete with chefs hats, giant cutlery and a child size cauldron! Expect a soft launch in October ready for the 2015 season.

Meanwhile this week our Penguins Abroad continue to visit the various beaches of Centre Parcs whilst Teddy and Otto make an appearance at the Woburn site this Sunday. Or if you find yourself at the Greenbelt Festival on Saturday keep an eye out for Prince Amir and the Camel!

Viva la re-invention!

Gloucester Quays Festive Fayre

Join Oddness, Grotsick and Epico at Gloucester Quays Hobbit inspired Festive Fayre, from Friday 13th to Sunday 15th of December. Its a Creature Encounter first, the Goblins have never accompanied Epico on his walkabouts so our team are super excited. We will be roving through out the day, if you are in the area please come and tame the beast!
