What do stilt walkers do at an event?

Stilt walkers are costumed performers on stilts who tower over the crowd, greet guests, pose for photos and bring a sense of theatre to any space. They are one of the easiest ways to make an arrival feel like an event.

They can be styled to almost any theme, from 1920s Gatsby glamour to circus, winter and under-the-sea looks, and they work indoors with enough ceiling height or outdoors on level ground.

Where it works best

Christmas parties
Festive characters that tower over the room.
Themed parties
Gatsby, circus, winter or under-the-sea.
Welcome and arrivals
Greeting guests at the door or on the red carpet.
Launches and activations
Pulling a crowd and getting people filming.
Drinks receptions
Roaming and interacting while guests mingle.
Festivals and fun days
Walkabout performances throughout the day.

Tips from our team

1
Check the ceiling height
Indoors, stilt walkers need generous ceiling height and clear doorways. Tell us the room and we will check.
2
Mind the floor
Level, dry, non-slip floors are best. Grass and gravel need checking in advance.
3
Use them for the photo moment
A stilt walker beside your step-and-repeat or entrance sign makes every photo better.
