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.

    Characters linked to your campaign.

  • Under-the-sea

    Pirates, jellyfish and sea creatures.

  • Festivals

  • Themed parties
