What are walkabout characters?

Walkabout characters are costumed performers who roam the event in character, chatting, posing for photos and reacting to guests. They make a theme feel real rather than just decorated.

Characters range from Gatsby partygoers and pirates to nutcrackers, jellyfish, octopus and other sea creatures, depending on your theme.

Where it works best

  • Christmas parties

    Nutcrackers and festive characters.

  • Under-the-sea

    Pirates, jellyfish and sea creatures.

  • Festivals

  • Themed parties
