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.

Do venues around Windsor 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 Windsor?
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 Windsor is 22 miles west of central London. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.
Which postcodes around Windsor do you cover?
All of SL4, including Old Windsor, Eton, Eton Wick and Cranbourne, plus the rest of Berkshire and nearby Eton, Slough, Ascot and Maidenhead.
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.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
Do you work with our venue and event team?
Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
