2. Unique Halloween Event Ideas and Themes

   21st August 2023 4:04 pm Leave a Comment

   When it comes to Halloween Event planning, it’s all too easy to fall into the cliché of fake-blood-splattered t-shirts and white bedsheet ghosts. This is why picking a unique theme is an absolute game-changer! Breathe new life into this year’s Halloween celebrations and take your event from average to unforgettable!

   Take the conventional fright-night approach – with extra, unexpected scares – or pick n mix it up with something a little sweeter! Big Foot Events will provide the perfect themed entertainment, music, venue dressing, and ideas to make your Halloween event a truly unique spooktacular night!

   Carnival of Curiosities

   Roll up, roll up! With this Halloween event theme, bring the enigmatic world of circus sideshows to life with bizarre performers, oddities, and vintage carnival games.

   

   Set the stage with a Circus Big Top Tent decorated with circus props, funfair side stalls, and carnival fun and games. Immerse your guests in a mesmerising extravaganza, featuring a troupe of peculiar talents that include Contortionists and Aerial Performers, Pierrot Clowns, Clown Stilt Walkers, enchanting Illusionists who defy belief, and daring Fire Breathers who challenge the inferno itself. Include a Fortune Teller‘s table adorned with crystal balls and tarot cards, casting a spell over your Halloween event. Sit on the edge of your seat and enjoy the show!

   Macabre Masquerade

   For your next Halloween event, host a macabre masquerade ball! This theme blends the elegance of a traditional masquerade with the spookiness of Halloween.

   Combine elegant gothic fashion with an eerie ambience: think black lace, candlelit settings, and a touch of Victorian macabre for a truly unique and stylish Halloween experience. Decorate with gothic elements such as candelabras, spiderwebs, and dark roses. Incorporate Halloween-themed decor such as carved pumpkins and eerie silhouettes. Illuminate your vent with dim, flickering candlelight. Include performers such as Fire Dancers or Burlesque artists for added entertainment, and masked performers will blend seamlessly with the crowd – surprising guests! A spooky String Quartet will perfectly soundtrack your event.

   

   Twisted Fairy Tales

   Twist beloved fairy tales into darker versions, where the protagonists have taken a sinister turn in this Halloween event theme. Our favourite tale to twist is Alice in Wonderland.

   

   Fall down the rabbit hole into the sinister side of this story! Transform your venue with surreal, exaggerated, and bewildering props. Enrich the experience with cuisine tailored to the theme, featuring an ‘Eat Me’ Tea Party Buffet and Flair Bartenders garbed as playing cards, conjuring ‘Drink Me’ cocktails. Throughout the evening, mingle with characters like the formidable Queen of Hearts and the whimsically unhinged Mad Hatter, adding an element of enchanting chaos to the gathering. Everyone’s favourite characters have gone awry and guests will be mesmerised by our Clock Heads and Bouncy White Rabbit Stilt Walkers.

   The Witches’ Coven

   Embrace the mystique of witchcraft and magic with this Halloween event theme!

Our witchy characters will host an array of activities! Your guests can learn potion-making, craft their own wands, learn spell-casting, and herbology. At our Witches’ Brew Bar, guests can enjoy themed cocktails and mocktails served in cauldron-inspired cups! Our Fortune Teller will read your guests’ cards and offer mystical insights and fortune-telling for guests intrigued by the occult.

   

   No Tricks, Just Treats

   If fright isn’t your forte, take the delightfully sugary path for your Halloween event! A pick n mix theme plays on the trick or treat tradition, but there’s nothing to be scared of here. Our Candy Girl Canapé Hostesses will roam your venue handing out sweets and chocolate. Decorate with whimsical oversized sweetie props, chocolate fountains, and beautiful pastel draping! Treat your guests to an array of delectable delights served from our charming themed Food Carts.

   

   Forbidden Forest

   If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise!

   A Forbidden Forest Halloween event theme masterfully intertwines the eerie and mystical, offering an experience like no other! Mythical creatures will roam your venue, such as Dreygo the Dragon – a captivating smoke-breathing beast who may be accompanied by a Merlin-esque Wizard or a playfully mischievous fairy!

6. Barrow BID’s ROARsome Dino Day!

   5th June 2023 4:51 pm Leave a Comment

   On the 20^th of May 2023, we were delighted to work with our client to bring Dinosaurs to Barrow-in-Furness! It was fantastic to work with Barrow BID on Dino Day III. We have worked with our client on previous Dino Days. Big Foot Events were thrilled to create an even bigger and better event for 2023.

   The Brief

   Our client approached us with the aim of transforming Barrow into a prehistoric adventure for the day. Barrow BID’s Dino Day has grown steadily over the years, and our client wanted 2023’s event to be the biggest one yet. Our client’s main goal was to attract visitors to the local area. They aimed to encourage them to visit and enjoy local shops, retailers, and food and drink establishments. They wanted to provide activities and entertainment for locals to enjoy and to raise the profile of the town. The event needed to be even more thrilling than previous years, improving upon and exceeding the expectations of previous attendees.

   The Challenges

   It was imperative to our client to support local businesses, increasing footfall and dwell time in the town centre. We needed to build upon the success of previous Dino Days while attracting new and previous visitors.

   The Solutions

   2023’s Dino Day remained a free event, providing accessibility to a large number of people – locals and those visiting from further afield. Barrow BID invited local buisnesses to get involved in the action with dinosaur themed window displays, themed activities, and more.

   To make 2023’s Dino Day event even more thrilling than before, we adapted the package to bring new dinosaurs and activities to Barrow. Each year we have added new entertainment options to keep the event exciting! This encourages previous visitors to attend the event. With new entertainment and dinosaurs on offer, each Dino Day has become even more inviting to brand new visitors!

   The Results

   We worked with Barrow BID to create a thrilling event schedule with individual Dinosaur appearances, Photo Opportunities, and Interactive Activities.

   Many local businesses participated in Dino Day. Barrow BID were able to tie in the theme with the local cinema, toy shops, and other small businesses. This helped to encourage sales and footfall for the local businesses and turn the town into a real prehistoric experience! Got It Covered hosted a sale of dinosaur-related items and Crafty Hobbies Barrow in Furness sold dinosaur-themed craft projects. Cumbria Sewing & Craft Centre styled a themed window display with dinosaur quilts, toys, clothing, and more. Lakesloos and Event Support held a dinosaur selfie competition in their ‘prehistoric portaloo’, Expressions Barrow paraded their inflatable dinosaur costume, and Holiday Inn Barrow-in-Furness & South Lakes had activity packs available for guests.

   Our dinosaur activities and appearances took place in two main areas: Town Square and Dalton Road. We placed Photo Opportunities around The Forum. This included our Jurassic World Gyrosphere, stationary Raptor and Allosaurus Props, and a Jurassic Backdrop. Outdoor activities included The Hatchery and Ranger Training. Children were able to encounter adorable dinosaur hatchlings and learn how to care for Dinosaur Eggs at The Hatchery. Aspiring Dinosaur handlers were able to participate in Ranger Training basecamp. Children loved to learn about Dinosaurs and how to become a real Dinosaur Ranger!

   We scheduled Dinosaur appearances throughout the day. Visitors could see our spectacular Brontosaurus, incredible Giant T Rex, cheeky Carnotaurus, mischievous Raptor, and Baby Dinosaurs accompanied by our Dinosaur Rangers. The Dino Day concluded with a spectacular performance involving every dinosaur appearing together for a finale show!

   The event was a testament to the ability of Dino Days to create huge interest and generate fantastic footfall figures. Dino Day was heavily attended and Barrow BID received lots of wonderful feedback on their social media pages. We are excited to work with Barrow BID on an event bigger event next year!
