Update

Epico and Aurelious returned triumphant from performing at Margam Parks Dragon Quest yesterday. Heavy rains saw us relocated to the beautiful Orangery, where we worked with some amazing young knights and took the Fairy Queen out for the last time in her current incarnation. Coming up this week the Penguins Abroad and Teddy & Otto head off to entertain the crowds at Centre Parcs, and we take two days out to train up a new performer in the roles of Epico and Aurelious...the times they are a- changing :)

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!

Banner Men

Jamie has completed work on the Epico banner, a show promoting back drop to hang on our tent. We have also used paint effects to distress our pop up tent giving it a mouldering decayed feel. This includes a muddy giant foot print on the roof, incurred when Aurelious failed to honour his gambling debts to a cantankerous old troll!
