This year, World Book Day falls on Thursday, 6th March. World Book Day is all about celebrating the magic of storytelling – but what if you could step beyond the bookshelf into your favourite tales? At Big Foot Events, we love transforming stories into extraordinary experiences for the whole family with interactive entertainment, immersive theming, and larger-than-life characters!
Our characters, props, and themes from classic and contemporary favourites offer endless possibilities for Family Fun Days!
We believe the magic of a book should never be confined to its pages! Whether it’s meeting a beloved character face-to-face or stepping into an entirely themed world, our immersive experiences turn classic stories into interactive adventures.
Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park sparked a love of dinosaurs for generations. Now, it’s time to bring that prehistoric world to life! Our towering, animatronic dinosaurs will thrill budding palaeontologists and transport families straight into the heart of the Jurassic era. Ideal for schools, libraries, or family fun days, this is a truly ‘dino-mite’ way to celebrate World Book Day!
Our interactive story-time performances turn timeless tales into engaging, immersive experiences that enchant young book lovers.
Beatrix Potter-inspired characters will hop straight from the page into your event with our charming meet-and-greet mascots and story-time sessions.

Set sail for Neverland with our engaging Peter Pan and pirate-themed family shows, complete with swashbuckling sword fights, audience participation, and high-energy adventure! Perfect for creating a fun-filled, action-packed atmosphere for both young pirates and budding adventurers. Whether you’re looking for an exciting stage show or interactive experience, a Neverland adventure will captivate children and adults alike.
Not only do we bring stories to life with performers and props, but we also create breathtaking full-venue transformations! Here’s how we turned a warehouse canteen into a sky-high adventure, inspired by a literary classic…
As part of the UK Warehousing Association’s (UKWA) 80th anniversary, we were challenged to transform a warehouse canteen into an immersive, Instagram-worthy space for the final visit of the UKWA CEO’s tour of 80 warehouses. Inspired by Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days, we created an experience that transported guests to the skies!
With just a few days to plan and execute, we needed to transform a functional canteen into a stunning, immersive environment fit for the event.
We conducted a site visit to assess the space, take measurements, and explore whether practical installations or projection visuals would create the most impactful sky-high effect.
We designed a hot air balloon experience! Guests could step inside the basket, hold onto the ropes, and capture the perfect photos! Wall draping combined with lighting projections creating the illusion of the sky, and coloured ceiling draping and lighting projections simulated the hot air balloon and flame. To finish, we added rustic-look seating, allowing guests to sit and take in the immersive atmosphere.
The transformation was breathtaking! Guests could step into a real balloon basket, surrounded by stunning 360-degree visuals of the sky, creating a truly Instagrammable moment. The immersive experience captured the adventurous spirit of Around the World in 80 Days.
