UK & International Event Entertainment

Artists, live bands, tribute acts, themed entertainment, event production and more for events worldwide.

UK & International Event Entertainment

From our headquarters in Blackpool, Lancashire we supply entertainment and event services to venues, festivals, holiday parks, visitor attractions, shopping centres, corporate clients, local authorities, private clients and major leisure organisations throughout the United Kingdom and internationally.

For decades, we’ve been supplying artists, entertainment, productions, activities, staging and event services to clients hundreds of miles from our Lancashire offices – from Perth in Scotland to Falmouth in Cornwall, from Cardiff and Rhyl in Wales to Norwich in East Anglia, from the Isle of Wight and Jersey to Malta and Munich in Europe, and from Hawaii in USA to Dubai in UAE.

Our clients include national leisure groups, racecourses, festivals, councils, theatres, shopping destinations, hotels, corporate organisations, military venues and some of the world’s best-known brands.

Big Foot Events has the experience, contacts and infrastructure to deliver entertainment throughout the United Kingdom.

Whether you need one brilliant act, a programme of live entertainment, a family attraction, a themed event, staging and production or entertainment across multiple venues, talk to us.

A Snapshot of Big Foot Events Around the UK

Scotland: Our relationship with Perth and Kinross Council stretches back around 15 years, providing headline artists, live bands, tribute acts, walkabout entertainment, Giant Snow Globe and other festive activities each year for their Christmas Light Switch On and other events.

Elsewhere in Scotland, Renfrewshire Council has booked our Bad Santas for Paisley Town Centre, Ayr Pavilion has booked Soul Kinda Wonderful, and our Pop Queens Live production has travelled all the way to Rapture in Orkney.

We’ve also delivered dinosaur entertainment at Braehead Arena and worked with the University of Glasgow’s FutureFest.

Wales: In North Wales, Denbighshire Leisure is a regular client, trusting us with its Christmas entertainment as well as tribute bands and live entertainment for Rhyl Events Arena.

Our Welsh work also includes walkabout entertainment and workshop activities for destinations such as The Red Dragon Centre in Cardiff.

North East, Yorkshire & Cumbria: Penrith BID brought our dinosaurs into Great Dockray for a Dinosaur Takeover event in August 2026, this was a huge success!

We’ve provided stage and production services for ARC Stockton Arts Centre, entertainment for White Rose Shopping Centre and Captain Cook Square, and dinosaur entertainment for Northallerton, where our visits have become a returning fixture in the town’s events calendar.

UK-Wide Entertainment

The Midlands alone demonstrates the breadth of the work we do.  Resorts World Birmingham has repeatedly booked our dinosaur experiences, while Silverstone Circuit commissioned a special photo opportunity for CarFest. We’ve provided entertainment for a country-themed event at Wolverhampton Racecourse, and entertainment for regular racecourse clients including Uttoxeter, Doncaster and Huntingdon. At Sunshine Festival in Worcestershire, Big Foot Events has supplied much of the festival’s live entertainment, from party bands and headline acts, to tribute acts, West End stars, variety shows and comedians! We’ve also supplied Soul and Motown artists to Catton Park in Derbyshire for Aurora Music Corporation.

London, Bedfordshire & the South East: Our corporate work has included creating a Giant Colouring Wall at TUI UK’s Wigmore House in Luton, while Travel Weekly Group booked Heather Small through Big Foot Events to perform at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London. We’ve supplied entertainment for an event at the British Museum, while Dunstable Town Council booked Taryn Charles as Whitney Houston for an event at Grove House Gardens. Other bookings have included Safari Live at Huntingdon Town Hall, Viva La Vida – A Tribute to Coldplay at Flitwick Lodge, and entertainment for venues and events throughout the region. Our long-standing relationship with Willows Activity Farm in Hertfordshire has also seen our dinosaur and dragon entertainment return over a number of years.

Nationwide Events

South & South West: Our work in southern England ranges from live entertainment and festivals to military family events. HMNB Portsmouth has booked our dinosaurs for a family fun day, while our work in the South West includes Snow Globes, Ice Rinks, Snow Machines and crew for Falmouth Town Centre and Falmouth Town Council. We’ve also supplied K-Pop Superstars and other artists to Southwest Bars and Events for its main-stage entertainment. Other southern clients and venues have included DoubleTree by Hilton Bournemouth and Bridport Electric Palace.

East & East Anglia: Our work in the east includes entertainment for Venue16 in Norwich, Newmarket Racecourse, The Guineas Shopping Centre and numerous leisure, holiday and private events.

Ireland, Jersey & the Isle of Man: Our entertainment also travels beyond mainland Great Britain. In 2026, K-Pop Superstars travelled to Dublin to perform at the RDS Arena, taking one of our major live productions to an Irish audience. Across the Irish Sea, our dinosaurs have visited the Isle of Man for a town-centre walkabout in Douglas, bringing interactive family entertainment right into the heart of the shopping area. Our nationwide relationship with Warner Hotels includes its Isle of Wight properties at Bembridge Coast and Norton Grange, alongside Warner properties throughout mainland Britain. We also supply regular live acts and tributes to The Merton Hotel in Jersey.

These bookings demonstrate that location doesn’t need to limit the entertainment available to our clients.

Big Brands, National Groups & Long-Term Clients

Geography tells only part of the story.

A significant proportion of our work comes from clients who return to Big Foot Events because they need entertainment repeatedly, at different venues or throughout the year.

We provide artists and live bands for Butlin’s at Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness.

We provide entertainment across the Warner Hotels portfolio, including Bembridge Coast, Norton Grange, Bodelwyddan Castle, Alvaston Hall, Heythrop Park, Corton Beach Resort and Gunton Hall, Runnymede on Thames, Thoresby Hall, Sinah Warren and Littlecote House, as well as Warner’s other hotels nationwide.

Our racecourse clients have included Newmarket, Uttoxeter, Chester, Doncaster, Huntingdon, Kempton Park, Wolverhampton and Plumpton, with some entrusting Big Foot Events with their entertainment on a regular basis year after year.

We’ve worked with councils and BIDs from Perth and Paisley to Penrith, Dunstable, Derby, Hull, Rhyl and Falmouth.

And our corporate and commercial work has included names such as TUI UK, Travel Weekly Group, Silverstone Circuit and Resorts World Birmingham.

At sea, we also provide professional artists and entertainment for cruise operators including Carnival Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, Ambassador Cruise Line and Saga Cruises.

One Brief Can Take Us Anywhere

Perhaps the best way to explain what “UK-wide” means at Big Foot Events is to look at the briefs we’re actually given.

A corporate client might need Heather Small performing at a hotel in London.  A council wants dinosaurs taking over a town centre in Penrith. Another needs Star Names and Tribute acts at Rhyl Event Arena, North Wales. Newmarket Racecourse wants a complete family-themed event. A Worcestershire festival wants us to supply its live entertainment programme. A military venue in Portsmouth wants activities for its family fun day. TUI wants a Giant Colouring Wall at its Luton headquarters. And a shopping or leisure destination might want entertainment that brings families through the doors and gives them a reason to stay. This might be a themed trail or workshop, a fashion parade or giant Panda roaming around.

That’s why describing Big Foot Events simply as an “entertainment agency based in Blackpool” doesn’t really explain what we do. Our acts and suppliers are based all over the UK and we send them on gigs and to events nationwide and in some cases, worldwide.

 

More Than an Entertainment Directory

Nationwide coverage is only useful if the service behind it works. Big Foot Events isn’t an online directory where you find an artist and are then left to organise everything yourself. We’re an established entertainment and events agency.

Our team can help with:

  • Artists and headline performers
  • Live bands and musicians
  • Tribute acts
  • Walkabout entertainment
  • Family entertainment
  • Dinosaur experiences and productions
  • Festival entertainment
  • Corporate entertainment
  • Christmas and seasonal entertainment
  • Themed events
  • Interactive activities
  • Venue transformations
  • Staging and production
  • Sound, lighting and AV
  • Props and specialist event features

Sometimes we’re supplying one performer. Sometimes we’re programming entertainment across an event. Sometimes we’re supplying activities, performers and production. And sometimes we’re helping a national client coordinate entertainment across multiple venues. The scale changes. The principle doesn’t: find the right entertainment for the audience, make the logistics work and deliver it professionally.

How We Make Nationwide Bookings Work

Our headquarters being in Blackpool doesn’t mean that every performer, technician or piece of equipment starts its journey in Lancashire. We work with artists, performers, production teams and specialist suppliers located throughout the country. When you give us a brief, we consider the location alongside the audience, budget, venue, availability and technical requirements. If an excellent artist is based close to your event, that can make perfect sense. If the ideal act is specialist and needs to travel from elsewhere in the country, we’ll look at the practicalities. And if the booking involves one of our own productions, dinosaurs, specialist props, equipment or production services, we’ll coordinate the logistics required to get everything there.

It starts with a conversation. So tell us:

  • Where is the event
  • When it’s happening
  • Who is your audience
  • Your approximate budget
  • What you’d like the event to achieve

If you already know what you want, we’ll help you arrange it. If you haven’t got a clue what you want yet, that’s fine too. Some of our best briefs begin with:

“We need something really good. What can you suggest?”

That’s where an experienced entertainment agency and our specialist team earn its keep.

Big Foot Events Around the World

Big Foot Events has arranged star name acts, artists, tributes, bands, productions and even dinosaurs for events around the world, from European festivals and private parties to major international venues and events in Miami, Hawaii and Dubai.

International bookings bring additional considerations. Travel, accommodation, equipment, schedules and production requirements all need to work alongside the entertainment itself. Our team can help coordinate these elements and work with clients, artists and venues to get the entertainment where it needs to be. Here are just a few examples of where Big Foot Events has been.

USA – Miami & Hawaii: In May 2025, we sent Pitbull UK to Miami Beach, Florida, for a performance at Loews Miami Beach Hotel.

Later that year, Adele tribute Lareena Mitchell travelled all the way to Honolulu, Hawaii, to perform at a private party at the Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa.

From the UK to Honolulu is quite a commute – but it’s a good example of just how far the right booking can take our artists.

Dubai, UAE: Dubai has been the destination for a number of Big Foot Events bookings. For a Barasti After-Party at The Sevens Stadium, we supplied a complete entertainment line-up including an Elton John tribute band, ABBA tribute band, one our incredible party bands and a full show-team production. We’ve also flown a Dolly Parton tribute act to Dubai Media City Amphitheatre for another major event.

These larger international briefs demonstrate that our overseas work isn’t limited to placing an individual artist. We can also put together multiple acts and productions for major events.

 

Major Events Worldwide

Germany – Adele World, Munich: One international booking we’re particularly proud of took Spice Girls Experience to Munich for Adele’s 2024 residency.

Personally selected by Adele, Spice Girls Experience performed as a main support act within Adele World, the specially created hospitality and entertainment destination accompanying her Munich shows, between 2nd and 31st August 2024.

The group even received an on-stage mention from Adele herself, who praised their incredible energy live on stage when she said to her audience: “Have you seen the Spice Girls Experience yet? I couldn’t do what those girls do – they have so much energy!”

It was an extraordinary opportunity for the performers and a fantastic example of a Big Foot Events act appearing as part of a truly international entertainment event.

Spicing up Adele World with a Spice Girls Tribute

Malta: The Spice Girls Experience has travelled internationally with us on other occasions too, including a major event at Swieqi Park in Malta.

Sweden – Heyday Festival: We’ve also supplied live tribute bands for the Heyday Festival in Sweden, with acts celebrating some of the biggest names in music, including The Who, Prince and Madonna, amongst others.

Spain – Dinosaurs Abroad!And it isn’t only our musicians who need their passports. Our dinosaurs travelled to Granada in Spain to make a surprise appearance at a private birthday celebration. Transporting huge animatronic dinosaur costumes internationally presents a rather different logistical challenge from putting a singer on a plane – but it’s also a perfect example of the unusual briefs we love getting involved with.

International Entertainment

Booking entertainment from another country, or for another country, can feel more complicated than when you’re booking someone locally. That’s where using an experienced international entertainment agency can help. Depending on the booking, we can assist with:

  • Artist and act selection
  • International artist travel
  • Accommodation requirements
  • Performance schedules
  • Technical and production requirements
  • Liaison with the artist and event organiser
  • Multiple-act entertainment programmes
  • Specialist productions and show teams
  • Event logistics relating to the entertainment

Every international booking is different, so we’ll establish what the event requires before working out the most practical way of delivering it. Whether you’re looking for a UK artist for an overseas corporate event, a tribute act for an international festival, a complete entertainment line-up for a major event – or apparently even a dinosaur for a birthday party in Spain – it’s worth asking us.

Tell us where in the world your event is taking place and what you’re looking for. We’ll tell you how we can help.
