And now the end (of Summer) is here…

Give a #shoppingcentre a SeaShell Throne, a Mermaid and hundreds of children and you’ll have the most fun ever! As proved by Ariel as she came down to The Ridings as a #BackToSchool end of summer event! And it truly was end of summer as the heavens opened and the children flocked in! Our princess met hundreds of #Wakefield fans and even had store managers taking their place in her throne complete with Mermaid Tail! This was our last event of the summer and we’ve had an absolu

It was our BIGGEST challenge yet… The complete shabang! Everything from designing the concept including the floor graphics, to installing them, building the event and staffing it EVERY SINGLE DAY for the six week period! We brought bouncy castles, helter shelters, a full size dodgem and ghost train & even built giant fibreglass ice lollies for photo opportunities! There was a giant deckchair and an Arcade Alley with all the gaming machines those of a certain age remember and

When Stuart at Exclusive Events signed up to our sister brand MonkeyGigsList he didn’t just get the most powerful music sharing deal for his #Huddersfield venues, he also got Red Cape’s attention with a charity event he was putting together… Four pub venues, hundreds of car owners parading and a challenge to raise money for Youths At Work - A local charity that the money really makes a difference to. We committed to props and our movie car to the venues, delivered and can saf

Once the programme of events were running they were literally none stop in #Wakefield as we took our #WallOfWeaponry for some awesome displays along with our green screen to create some fab images for after the event with great social engagement for the centre’s profiles - and to top it off we had a very bendy Spidey appear and summersault, backflip and swing his way around the centre bringing smiles, hugs and laughter everywhere he appeared! It was a truly heroic day at The

After a HUGE summer in Shopping City, Runcorn many years ago where we built a #Jurassic Golf Course and brought a whole host of dinosaurs, we knew they’d be back one day… and this #Summer was that day! Performing to a packed #shoppingcentre we brought huge dinos, handheld dinos, crafts, fossil digging and our augmented reality Dino table - there literally was something for everyone! We also gave away prizes during our Dino shows to those little ones who got the questions righ

We were tasked with putting on a #Geek style market in #Bolton - But we couldn’t call it a market due to the town’s Market Charter rules (google the law, we could have ended up in the Tower!!) Importantly, there wasn’t the budget for a comic-con event - but it was very much on the theme of it… So Dave (the centre manager) and his lovely marketing team from Off Beat captured it perfectly by calling it ‘Not Another Comic-Con!’ - so if somebody felt a little underwhelmed by the

We didn’t think we’d top the turnout of our #KpopLiveTour brand that came to #Huddersfield - how wrong were we?!? Over 240 people came to the Victoria Hall and filled the place, danced for two hours solid and met their heroines! It was by far the most fab ‘party’ experience we’ve had and will certainly be continuing the tour as long as the #Kpop Fever continues! Where should we go next?

After a very successful event at The Ridings with our Dinos, we’ve been given the contract to bring a bucket load more of fun to them with a whole series of events! The #summer section of events started with a #GameOfThrones event with the Iron Throne, white warriors and a dress up section for the little ones… They also got to make their own sword and shields and even make a crown fit for a king, or queen! Those if you who know #Wakefield and know #TheRidings will know Brenda

After not having one since Covid, we had been asked if we’d give it a go… All the signs looked promising but then the council advertised the return of the Gala on the same day - we could have pulled it but we didn’t feel it was appropriate… so instead we submitted a movie car into the gala parade and brought the comic con feel to the people! The event itself had around 500 attendees, so it wasn’t dead but certainly the quietest one we’ve done but the public were there to spen

No #YorkshireDay celebration is complete without a #dinosaur right? Well we feel it’s necessary! … And most importantly so did Victoria Shopping Centre in Harrogate as we took a slimmed down version of our show but added a twist with readings of the children’s book ‘When Dinosaurs Walked The Earth!’ 🦖 🌍 🦕 Typically we had the first rain of the #summer afternoon a month long heatwave but that didn’t stop us and as it brightened up the crowds came and a #ROARSOME time was ha

Our team of Dino Rangers returned to their #shoppingcentre shows in July with a BIG performance from Betsie our Brachiosaurus who’s over 7 meters long joined by Hank The T-Rex! Coupled with hand puppets, crafts, informative talks and lots of attention for the Dinos, the #Jurassic fans in The Ridings, Wakefield turned up in the hundreds.

After last year’s record breaking numbers of people coming to #ComicCon in the #ShoppingCentre in #Warrington we had big boots to fill to repeat it… But repeat it we did and packed the malls with props, characters, traders and lots of #comiccon fun! Making this event extra special was Ross Mullan & James MacKenzie who joined event director Victoria on her birthday to put on a very successful show!

We created a brand earlier this year to see how it faired as a trend… Well over a hundred bought tickets for the first show we put on in #Huddersfield and we were blown away with energy the kids had! They literally didn’t stop dancing for 2 and a half hours! The KpopLiveTour.co.uk brand was born and ready to roll on to #Keighley in August.

July saw #GetYourGeekOn come to #Huddersfield Town Centre and we helped the Packhorse Shopping Centre become part of it! The first ever FULL SIZE Pod Racer was brought for display (and riding) at the shopping centre and was joined by the Mandalorian & Grogu, Princess Leia and Chewie! This is the only full size Pod Racr we know of in the UK so expect to see it popping up at a convention near you soon!

We brought our dinosaur show to #Rochdale thanks to the Rochdale Science Initiative and themed up with other partners there to bring some ‘WOW’ and ‘WONDER’ to the day… We certainly did our part and we were personally blown away by Chemistry of Currys team! Absolutely fascinating stuff and if this is the sign of things to come in the borough the kids are going to have fun learning! Great event put on by Mohammad and his team!

It’s been a while since we’ve had the opportunity to put an event on in Bayview Shopping Centre, but safe to say it was a ROARSOME success with hundreds of families coming out to support the event. Not only did they get to meet Betsy the Brachiosaurus but there were fossil digs, dinosaur mask making and even modelling your own mini Dino out of clay… In light of the recent Monty Python celebrations across the road on the beach, we can confirm that no cans of SPAM were harmed b

Today was the turn of the Princesses - Testimony to the people of #Stoke that even in a heatwave the people came out to support the shopping centre events! Our Princesses sang, danced and posed with their fans all day! Safe to say it was magical and fun was had by all…

Such fun was had on the first of a two day event at Affinity Staffordshire as Thor teamed up with many superhero pals to entertain the crowds… as per the video, Thor kinda stole the show! With over 200 make your own superhero 🦸‍♀️ characters created and 300 masks it’s safe to say there was not a bored child in the building!!

Trinity Walk’s awesome Star Walk event called for our Starfighter and Iron Throne in a bid to raise even more worthy funds for Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice… As with previous years we were delighted to be kept busy with over 1000 children flying the ship across the weekend! Great effort by Team Trinity!
