Bringing History to Life: Events That Educate and Entertain


History doesn’t have to stay in the past. With the right entertainment, you can create fully immersive, educational experiences that are as engaging as they are informative. Walkabout acts and performers are a brilliant way of bringing stories, eras, and iconic figures to life.

Why Historical Entertainment Works 📚
  • Creates meaningful engagement for all ages
  • Makes education accessible, interactive, exciting, and fun!
  • Sparks curiosity and encourages learning through storytelling
  • Ideal for museums, councils, historic venues, and more!

Instead of reading from a sign or listening to a presentation, audiences can engage directly with historical characters, explore themed environments, and take part in real-time storytelling that makes the past feel present.

The Eras We Cover 🕰️

At Big Foot Events, we offer acts and entertainment inspired by a wide range of time periods.

Step into the world of Dinosaurs with life-sized animatronic creatures – from T Rex to Brontosaurus – fossil dig zones, comedy cavemen characters, and more.

Fans of vintage nostalgia will love our 1940s wartime packages, with beautiful vintage vocal trios, classic vehicles, themed décor, and more.

Bring Gatsby glamour to life with flapper dancers, live jazz, and art deco styling.

We create decade-themed experiences that span centuries. From rock and roll 50s and the swinging 60s to disco, 80s neon, and 90s/00s throwbacks, every era comes with music, costumes, props, and immersive fun.

Looking for something especially refined? Perfect for elegant settings, our regency and Bridgerton-inspired experiences include high society hosts, period musicians, and classical styling.

Each experience can be tailored to your venue, audience, and goals.

Interactive Performers 👩‍🏫

Our walkabout performers don’t just look the part – they act the part. Engaging guests in character and offering interactive moments, they turn your event into a living, breathing time capsule.

Add:

  • Live music
  • Themed photo opportunities
  • Hands-on activities
  • Themed props and decor
  • Storytelling zones and educational workshops

… and your event becomes an experience that entertains, informs, and stays in people’s memories.
