What is a living statue?

A living statue is a performer in full costume and body paint who holds perfectly still, like a sculpture, then moves at just the right moment to surprise guests. Done well, people walk past assuming it is part of the decor.

Styles include floral statues, frozen ice queens, gilded classical figures and masked Venetian looks. They work on plinths at an entrance, along a garden path, beside a bar or on an exhibition stand, and some can hold a tray of drinks or favours.

Where it works best

  • Exhibition stands

    Stops people in a busy hall and starts conversations.

  • Weddings

    Floral statues matched to your flowers.

  • Winter events

    Frozen statues and ice queens for a winter wonderland.

  • Masquerade balls

    Masked statues for old-world glamour.

  • Drinks receptions

    Something to discover while photos and speeches happen.

  • Entrances and arrivals

    A statue at the door is the first photo every guest takes.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Think about lighting

    A little uplighting on a statue makes the costume and the reveal far more dramatic.

  2. 2

    Plan sets and breaks

    Holding still is hard work. Statues perform in sets, which we plan around your timings.

  3. 3

    Place them where people walk

    Statues work best on a route guests pass along, not tucked in a corner.
