   No Need to Rely on the Weather!

   With a Snow Machine, you can guarantee a picture-perfect White Christmas. There’s no need to rely on unpredictable weather conditions, you can have a beautiful snowfall regardless of the forecast. Our Snow Machines create such a realistic impression of falling or settled snow your guests will feel the magic of a true white Christmas.

   Safe Snowfall

   Unlike natural snow, our Snow Machines produce precisely controlled and safe artificial snowfall. You don’t need to worry about slippery surfaces or the arduous task of shovelling away snow afterwards. This makes Snow Machines a convenient and versatile option for indoor and outdoor use.

Alongside a beautiful snowfall, we can enhance your event with snow flocking on window ledges, trees, plants, and more, to create a complete Winter scene. Our Snow Machines add a layer of authenticity to your Christmas events.

6. Winter Wonderland at The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway

   20th September 2023 12:50 pm Leave a Comment

   We were delighted to support our client with their 2022 Christmas entertainment, creating a beautiful Winter Wonderland!

   The Brief

   Our client approached us for assistance in creating a magical Christmas experience for their visitors. Their objective was to provide an immersive and interactive Christmas experience tailored to families during the festive season.

   The Challenges

   Our project entailed an extended installation, occupying a large space in the venue for the duration of a month. Meeting all our client’s requirements was our top priority. We upheld this commitment from the beginning of the creative process to the actual installation of the Winter Wonderland.

   Our client has an incredible team of volunteers who were dedicated to enhancing the event – including none other than Father Christmas himself! Coordinating our performers on a precise schedule was crucial to ensuring the smooth-running of the event – and avoiding any disruptions to the Christmas magic!

   Additionally, we faced the challenge of crafting a script for our performers. It needed to be engaging and provide an immersive and magical experience for all attendees.

   The Solutions

   During the creative process of designing the perfect installation, we conducted a site visit to establish the restrictions and possibilities of the venue. We generated a wealth of imaginative ideas, complete with concept images and detailed proposals. This proactive approach instilled confidence in our client and provided them with a vivid understanding of the envisioned outcome.

   We participated in a series of creative meetings to ensure we were aligned with our client’s ideas for the event. These meetings allowed us to fine-tune our concepts, ensuring they resonated with our client’s objectives and vision.

   To ensure the seamless execution of the event, maintaining clear and effective communication between our performers and our client’s volunteers was important. This would be a fantastic opportunity to collaborate to create Christmas magic! We prioritised the establishment of strong relationships and building a rapport that instilled confidence in our client, the volunteers, and our performers.

   We submitted our script for approval, and remained open to their feedback, readily implementing any necessary adjustments.

   The Results

   We created a magical Winter Wonderland at The Keighley and Worth Railway! Our enchanting Winter Wonderland trail installation, and mischievous elf performers, created a magical Christmas experience for families visiting the railway.

   Between the 24^th of November and 26^th of December 2022, The Keighley and Worth Railway exhibition shed was transformed into a stunning Winter Wonderland Trail. Families were guided by our elf performers to embark upon a festive rail journey.

   

   We worked our venue dressing magic within the venue’s exhibition shed, transforming the space into a Winter Wonderland! We used white camouflage netting, snowstorm draping, artificial snow flocking, and an array of wintry props. These included flying reindeer, a moose, flocked Christmas trees, and charming woodland animals.

   

   Upon arrival, families were guided through our Winter Wonderland by our performers to find hidden golden tickets for their admission to the Elf Explorer. This was a festive journey upon a beautiful steam train. Families would then enjoy a theatrical journey complete with performances by our elf characters. Father Christmas himself joined the journey, and distributed gifts to children.

   

   Our installation garnered fantastic feedback from guests! The success of the month-long event led our client to eagerly rebook for 2023, and we are determined to make this year’s event even more special. Our Winter Wonderland trail will be expanded to include a spectacular Santa’s Workshop, promising an even more magical experience. We are excited to spread the joy of Christmas once again at The Keighley and Worth Railway in Christmas 2023.

8. Planning a Soul Music Festival with Venue16

   13th September 2023 4:06 pm Leave a Comment

   Big Foot Events were thrilled to work with our client to create a one-day soul and funk music festival.

   The Brief

   Our client reached out to us for support in organising their biggest event of the year – a summer music festival. They wanted to curate an incredible line-up of renowned funk and soul musicians. They hoped to captivate a local crowd and also draw in visitors from further afield. With aspirations of hosting a large-scale event, they were determined to ensure a high volume of ticket sales. They sought our live music expertise and event planning experience to assist with bringing their event to life!

   The Challenges

   Our client had allocated a substantial budget for this event from their entertainment calendar. Our goal was to guide them towards securing extraordinary acts that would not only deliver exceptional performances, but also align with their budgetary constraints. In orchestrating this high-budget event, we understood expectations ran high – from the client themselves, to the artists, and, ultimately, to the customers. Our client had specific performers in mind, and we sourced gifted artists who could fit within the allocated budget. Our primary objective was to create an offering that would resonate with our client’s core audience. This would ensure robust ticket sales and a memorable event. Instead of just featuring a single act, we aimed to craft a sensational line-up of performers to appeal to a range of guests. We aimed to keep the summer vibes going all evening!

   Given that the chosen acts were high-profile performers, each with their own unique requirements, meticulous event management was essential. Once the performers were selected and contracted, our next task was the marketing strategy. Our goal was to not only sell tickets but also create excitement and anticipation surrounding the event.

   The Solutions

   At Big Foot Events, our events team possesses an impressive expertise in live music. With an extensive roster of talented artists at our disposal, we excel at selecting the ideal acts to elevate our client’s events. Our team’s wealth of experience equips us with an in-depth understanding of our chosen artists and their specific needs. This allows us to expertly curate line-ups that not only meet, but exceed our clients’ expectations. This sets the stage to guarantee their event’s success.

   To drive ticket sales, we implemented a collaborative marketing strategy. There was active involvement from our team, our client, and the performers themselves, working together to maximise ticket sales. Our client played a pivotal role in promoting the event, using their resources to generate buzz and anticipation. The artists actively collaborated with us by reaching out to their fan bases. They recorded personalised videos, engaged with their followers on social media, and worked hand in hand with us to enhance the event’s visibility.

   The Results

   On the 8^th of July 2023, Venue16 hosted Check Out The Groove: Summer Soul Vibes. This extraordinary event was a perfect celebration of music, dance, and the vibrant summer season.

   We designed a fantastic line-up of some of the most prominent names in funk and soul. The stage came alive with performances by renowned artists such as Jaki Graham, Loose Ends, Odyssey, and the incomparable Craig Charles. This combination of talents ensured an unforgettable celebration of soulful rhythms and groovy vibes that left the audience captivated and dancing all evening!

   Our client received some fantastic feedback from happy guests on social media:

   ‘Had a fab time, so well organised thank you’ juliet_f66

   ‘Brilliant day/night… good to hear the classic old skool tunes… such a well organised local event… more please’ allibabba1
