What happens in a fire show?

Fire performers dance and manipulate fire using props like poi, staffs, fans and tridents. A fire show is dramatic, loud on the senses and an unbeatable finale.

Fire is almost always outdoors, on a terrace, courtyard, lawn or beach, and always with the venue's approval and a proper safety plan.

Where it works best

After dark on a terrace or lawn.
Festivals
Evening shows that draw a crowd.
Under-the-sea themes

Frequently asked questions

Do venues around Barnard Castle have rules for performers?

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.

Which postcodes around Barnard Castle do you cover?

How long is a fire show?

Usually a short, high-impact set. We plan it around your timings and the venue's rules.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
