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.

Frequently asked questions

Do venues around Heathfield 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 walkabout characters cost in Heathfield?

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.

Do walkabout characters talk to guests?

Yes, in character. They chat, pose and react, which is what makes them memorable.

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.
