We can best leave a huge positive stamp on an event by being booked to provide our totally unique festival children’s areas.
We mean it, you won’t find another company that provides as much variety of skills and equipment from one place.
For our larger events we really do bring ridiculous amounts of kit with everything including the kitchen sink.
It’s more than just circus-skills workshops; it’s highly skilled circus shows to inspire the kids to have a go. It’s a children’s talent show with unique moments that will have the whole tent belly-laughing.
We program and stage manage the shows, different performers and activities to suit different budgets. Sometimes world-class puppet shows or interactive, improvised children’s theatre, a bubble show or even 'Big Bear's Big Balloon Disco' - a not-to-be-missed happening! Random walkabouts pepper the area, character mascots and celebrity guest stars make their appearances.
Our large network of passionate craft teams offer free sessions throughout the festival plus face painting, hair braids and more.
We provide hugely popular trapeze workshops for all ages and teach tightrope walking. Games, side-shows, toddler zones and bouncy mega-balls, interactive inflatables, crazy-bikes and unicycles, bundles of bubbles and a generous sprinkling of (eco) glitter !
We like to work with the festival organisers directly and deliver our best children’s areas package to fit whatever budget is available. We don’t charge for entry to our area and families enjoy the fact they can spend whole days with us and not need to pay anything for hours of entertainment.
Our children’s area ensures you will receive great feedback from your audiences about the provisions you have provided to keep families entertained.
That’s why we are trusted by top family festivals like Camp Bestival and Shambala to provide huge parts of their children’s areas for more than 10 years in a row.
Bigtopmania provides an enormous amount of play equipment in-house all rolled into the package.
We work with a trusted team of extended festival family and talented performers.
Allow us to project manage our own area and budget and have peace of mind knowing you are in the hands of true children’s area specialists.
Aren't we lucky to have had long-term, trusted relationships with various festivals where we work with the organisers and to be fair, relieve them from a lot of pressure!
Sometimes known as the 'Kidzone' or the 'Kid's Field' but, essentially, a family-orientated play area brimming with activities, structures, decor, arts, performers and lots of circus all centred in and around a big-top or two!
Below are some of the events where we currently supply or have had a big involvement in the children's provisions or family content, taking on far more responsibilities and bringing lots of equipment.
Of course, we have worked at many others too from the big ones like Glastonbury Festival or Womad to the small ones like Nibley Festival or Kingston Green fair.
