Daffs for St David’s Day! 🌼 🏴
The team had a great day on their trip to Colwyn Bay for the annual giving away of daffodils to celebrate St David’s Day! 200 bunches were given away throughout the day and we had lots of chocolates for the little ones too… A great way to keep St David forefront of their made and keep traditions alive!

It’s all up in the air at Bayview!
We don’t just do the squidgy stuff at events we can take care of everything - from Risk Assessment to Event Evaluation, and we’ve IPAF qualified staff too to take care of whatever mechanics need to happen to bring it to life - over the years we’ve hung pterodactyls from cantenary cables, the standard Xmas decs and in Colwyn Bay we hang flags and bunting each year on the run up to St David’s Day. We really do have it all in hand for you!

Capital Sci-Fi crowns a fun filled Half Term week!

This year we fit more than ever into the van as we played a game of giant jenga to fit everything we could before we headed the 250+ miles up the road to take part in this amazing event! We even managed to fit in a couple of Wand Making classes where we met some very talented youngsters who created some magical wand

Rhubarb Festival Frolics!
Well here’s a first for #TeamRedCape - The Ridings Shopping Centre in Wakefield asked us to help them put on something quirky in February half-term to go along side the town’s Rhubarb Festival! We knew it had to be a little zany as the whole concept of the Rhubarb Festival is just that - So we created characters Claire Crumble & Sora Stork, affectionately known as as the Rhubarb Girls and they hosted our Little Shop of Rhubarb Horrors themed room and entertaining shoppers!

Not the dancing and singing, we bring in a our professional team of K-Pop Performers for that, but event management side - from workshops to go along side the day, facepainting and hair braiding right through to sound, disco lights and staging. We recently held a one day event at Affinity Staffordshire, where the public always support the events we put on with the shopping cen
