The Brief
On Saturday 25th July 2026, we brought everything from the prehistoric to the present to Wanderland in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire – adding to a packed programme of unforgettable entertainment designed to wow guests of all ages.
Our client set out to create a truly unforgettable day for families. The brief was all about variety: combining animals, interactive performances and immersive entertainment to ensure that there was something for every member of the family to enjoy.
We were tasked with bringing this vision to life through an exciting line-up of extraordinary acts, spanning everything from prehistoric creatures to chart-topping K-Pop hits.
The Challenge
With the UK experiencing an incredible heatwave in the lead-up to the event, one of the biggest considerations was the welfare of the real-life animals involved. Ensuring the animals remained safe was an absolute priority, requiring careful planning and consideration around conditions.
An additional challenge was creating an experience that was accessible and enjoyable for guests of all ages and abilities. The entertainment needed to offer different ways to engage – with inclusive options suitable for all families.
The Solution
Thankfully, the event day delivered the perfect combination of sunshine, cooler temperatures and dry weather, creating the ideal conditions for a successful day of entertainment.
With an extensive roster of family entertainment, we were able to curate a bespoke entertainment package perfectly suited to our client’s audience. Our experience in delivering family-focused events meant we could carefully select acts that worked together to create a varied and engaging programme. From educational animal encounters to high-energy performances, we ensured there was something for everyone to enjoy.

What This Project Demonstrates
Wanderland demonstrates Big Foot Events’ ability to provide a complete programme of family entertainment for festivals, council events and public events in Lancashire and across the North West.
For this event in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, we brought together dinosaurs, real animal encounters, K-Pop entertainment and interactive bubble performance to create a varied programme designed for families of different ages and abilities.
The event also demonstrates the breadth of entertainment available through Big Foot Events. Rather than relying on one type of act, we can help councils, festival organisers and visitor destinations create a complete family entertainment programme, carefully selecting performers and attractions that work together for the audience, venue and event.
For councils, festivals, town centres and event organisers looking for family entertainment in Lancashire, the North West or elsewhere in the UK, Big Foot Events can provide individual acts or curate a complete entertainment package around the event.
