Nottingham venues and living statues

Our Nottingham venue list covers 7 event venues, 3 country houses and 1 hotel, and Meadow Lane – Notts County Football Club can hold up to 1200 guests. We plan living statues around the space you have, from arrival routes to where a showpiece will be seen best.

We cover Nottingham itself and the NG1, NG3, NG4, NG5, NG6 and NG7 postcode districts, including Arnold, Carlton, Lambley and Bestwood Village, as well as nearby West Bridgford, Beeston, Long Eaton and Ilkeston.

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

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

  • Weddings

    Floral statues matched to your flowers.

  • Entrances and arrivals

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

  • Masquerade balls

    Masked statues for old-world glamour.

  • Winter events

    Frozen statues and ice queens for a winter wonderland.

  • Exhibition stands

    Stops people in a busy hall and starts conversations.

  • Drinks receptions

    Something to discover while photos and speeches happen.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Plan sets and breaks

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

  2. 2

    Think about lighting

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

  3. 3

    Place them where people walk

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

Do venues around Nottingham 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.

How much do living statues cost in Nottingham?

There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Nottingham is 22 miles north of Leicester. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.

Can living statues serve drinks?

Some can hold a tray of champagne, canapés or favours. Tell us what you have in mind.

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.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
