  4. Pass the Positivity with a Living Wall

    Leave a Comment

    In February 2024, Big Foot Events were delighted to collaborate with our client to create an installation dedicated to spreading positivity at their shopping centre.

    The Brief

    Our client approached us looking to create an interactive installation to represent togetherness and positivity, aligning with the period between Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Mother’s Day. Our goal was to foster the sharing of good energy and positive vibes!

    The Challenges

    Working within a constrained budget, one of the challenges we faced was to design an impactful installation without exceeding financial limits. Additionally, we faced a tight timeline, having only a week to conceptualise and bring our idea to life at the shopping centre. The need for a strong concept that fit the brief was crucial, but we approached the task with confidence in delivering the perfect solution for our client based on their goals.

    In addition, inclusivity was a paramount consideration, given our client’s multicultural customer base. The installation had to resonate with individuals of all ages, religions, and communities. Our objective was to provide entertainment that transcended religious celebrations, ensuring broad appeal and engagement.

    The Solutions

    Due to the timeframe, our primary focus was on developing an acute understanding of our client and their vision. We needed to deliver an entertainment solution that was both impactful and budget-friendly within the time constraints.

    A Living Wall stood out as a cost-effective and visually compelling installation, embodying the message of spreading positivity. Importantly, it avoids any reference to religious or other celebrations, creating a universally inclusive environment. This intentional approach ensured that individuals of all backgrounds were welcomed to participate. This promoted a celebration of togetherness free from cultural barriers.

    The Result

    Living Wall

    We created a beautiful, interactive Living Wall installation with the purpose of spreading positivity. The Living Wall is decorated with an elegant flower arch and vibrant paper balloons to symbolise freedom. The balloons add a burst of colour and also carry messages of support, positivity, and good vibes. They are designed to ‘uplift’ others. Shoppers are actively encouraged to take and contribute these messages, writing on supplied tags to attach to the balloons. This interactive element transforms the Living Wall into a collaborative effort, creating connection, unity, and shared positivity.

Everybody loves them, including us. The joy they bring to children of all ages is fantastic to witness.’ Today, our Dinosaurs appear at numerous events all over the country. They even star in their own theatre show, Jurassic Earth.

    Our client wanted to create a spellbinding Halloween-themed family day out, aiming to be the top choice for families seeking the ultimate spooky soiree. They sought to provide a plethora of spine-tingling activities designed to entertain both the little ghouls and the grown-up ghosts.

    The Challenges

    Having collaborated with our client previously for their 2022 Halloween family fun day, we were able to assess the successes and areas for improvement from that experience. Using this valuable feedback, we were able to identify some of the challenges we would face creating 2023’s event.

    In 2022, the event was significantly oversubscribed. In response to the overwhelming demand, we needed to create an event that embraced a large amount of visitors and had plenty of exciting activities for guests to enjoy.

    As well as focusing on drawing new visitors to the racecourse, we needed to provide new and exciting activities for returning families.

    The Solutions

    To accommodate the quantity of visitors, we provided a PA and Host to assist with queue management and to captivate and entertain guests between activities.

    We also provided additional entertainers and activities – from an energetic dance flash-mob to a range of Craft Workshops. There was an array of spooky activities to appeal to new and returning visitors.

    The Results

    We made our client’s event the go-to haunt for families seeking the perfect Halloween adventure, brimming with entertainment and excitement! This year’s festivities surpassed the success of 2022.

    Guests were encouraged to be best dressed and come in fantastic Halloween costumes to enter a costume competition. This brought out the most fantastic and imaginative ensembles!
