Your Stilt Walking Trees Booking - What to Expect
We appreciate that you may never have hired stilt walking trees before – here you can find a brief run-down of what to expect on the day of your event. You can also find a full method statement, risk assessment, and tech requirements at the bottom of the page.
Trees arrival and setup:
We generally arrive between an hour and two hours before the start of our first performance. This is to ensure there is plenty of time to get unpacked and ready as well as identify and solve any issues with getting the costumes to the performance space.
Once set up in our changing area it takes approximately 10-15 minutes to put on the costumes.
Stilt Walking Trees Performances:
We generally offer 30 or 45 minute performance sets – you can see our full range of options in the pricing section below. Due to the weight of the costumes, we generally ask that the set time starts as we leave the changing room and ends as we return.
We appreciate that some events might want our characters in place at a specific time (such as guests arriving) and we will always look to accommodate this; we encourage you to bring this up at the time of booking.
Our tree stilt walkers are fully mobile and can cover most flat-ish terrain. They will interact with your guests, post for “photo”-synthesis, and deliver terrible tree puns to the delight of all. If you wish to integrate our performers into a narrative they will be more than happy to adapt their performance to whatever character you have in mind.
What we require on the day:
This is a brief run-down of the main things we’ll need in order to make your event a success. You can download a full copy of our tech requirements at the bottom of the page.
- Our performers will require a suitable space to change into their costumes and to leave their belongings. This space should also function as an area the performers can relax in between sets. It doesn’t need to be fancy, but it does need to be fit for purpose – warm, dry, separate from the public.
- The costume is two main parts – the undersuit, which can be put on in any suitable room, and the large tree costume. The costume is about 9ft tall when fully on, and often normal rooms prove problematic. We are always happy to be flexible to help solve this – often we’ll put on the bulk of the costume in an outdoor space, or another space seperate to the changing area. This works best when it is out of sight of the public, but that is not a strict requirement from our end.
- We will require water to be provided at all events, tea and coffee making facilities are always appreciated. If the event is longer than 5 hours then a hot meal must be provided or alternatively suitable per diems.
- We will require parking for one van.
