Roar into Summer Walkabout

Available as a three-person (Fairy Queen, Fawn and Lion) or two-person (Fawn and Lion) act, please get in touch with us for details.

In a time when the world was young, before the ancient books were written, the forest still covered this island. From amongst the trees, the creatures of Spring would draw back the veil of winter's darkness to dance in the sunlight of Summer's eternal promise and banish the winter from our shores.

Join the Fairy Queen, Maxim the Blossom Lion and Pan the Fawn in a merry procession as they revel in pleasure, ritual, festivity, and madness. Celebrate with them the bountiful return of warm and endless days. Stroke the Blossom Lion for luck and meet the spirit of abundance, new life and celebration. Be sure to step forward for a photo with these magical characters and take in the wonder of a Midsummer Night's Dream.

Sprung from the Greco-Roman tradition of the procession as a festive celebration. Roar into Spring is conceived as a contemporary ritual for all, transforming the every day into the extraordinary.

Suggested Themes

Mid-Summer Night Dream / Garden Parties / Spring & Summer Celebrations / Narnia /  Children's Literary Events / Storybook / Magical Lands.

Testimonials

“The acts were very well received last Saturday and despite the weather being so hot the walkabouts gave it everything and a bit more... please pass on our thanks to them - it really made the day special.”

Lyn Summers, Events Manager

London Borough of Hillingdon MBC

"I just wanted to say how absolutely amazing the Lion was on Sunday. I actually cried when I first saw him – he is so beautiful and magical. Obviously, all the acts we have from you guys are fab but the Lion was outstanding."

-Sarah Jones

Barry Town Centre

"I know that we have had some really exceptional performance animals from Creature Encounters in the past but the appearance of the lion in Westbury on Saturday was the most wonderfully magical event bar none.  It enchanted young and old alike with an added bonus that the three young people concerned were engaging and helpful when not in costume and doing their best to make everything possible. It was a blissful experience for me and the town council team. Thank you so much."

- Councillor Jane Russ

Chairman of the Events Working Group, Westbury Town Council
