Arches, Drops & Races
Hi David Thank you so much for the information. Our balloons started on Thursday so have 4 days to go. The kids and adults are really enjoying this PTA event. We were totally blown away by the support from the families in the school and this event has raised over £1200. We decided not to […]
I’m always looking to add a little extra health and safety where we can. You can never do too much so on a couple of indoor events recently I’ve been using this hazard tape to clearly mark out the base plates.Health & Safety needs to be embraced so I feel each time I add a […]
Full story: Herne Bay Plane Crash Part of The Turbulent Display Team’s routine involves popping balloons during breath-taking manoeuvres. An AAIB spokesman confirmed: “The possibility that the engine power loss was as a result of ingesting a fragment of balloon following a balloon bursting display is just one of the aspects being considered by investigation.
Pop Goes Balloon Art Why do grownups still go crazy for balloons? Is it a product of the human subconscious, a desire to return to the carefree state of childhood?
10 Injured Ten people were injured at a mall in Orlando, Florida, after shoppers mistook the sound of popping balloons for gunshots. Since switching to building arches with frames I return each time to burst the balloons. I’m more aware than every that when I start this process it can cause a bit of a […]
The frames I use for each arch are a long term investment and I’ve built them up over time. Im lucky to own a large number which enables me to do multiple outdoor arches on the same day. For me the key to owning this many frames is charging a fair price for 1 arch. […]
This year Müller sponsored the Anniversary Games at the Olympic stadium. We worked with UK Athletics last year to brand their events in Red, White & Blue but with Müller sponsoring the British Championships and Anniversary Games the colour scheme was changed to Red & White. We installed an arch within the stadium, over the VIP entrance and over the Müller hospitality marquee. […]
We installed 4 of these Rainbow Balloon Arches on 19th July. 3 Were located in London and 1 in Staffordshire. The access was after 5pm and they needed to last 3 days. It’s nice to have a generous space with a really high ceiling which we know is not always possible. Once we’ve travelled & […]
4.30am – 20 Arches Complete. This years EID celebration required 20 balloon arches to decorate Small Heath Park in Birmingham. I worked on this event in 2014 but this years task required more planning because of the quantity of balloons and last minute access. With Eid nobody knows the exact event date until the very […]
For the 2016 Colour Runs something different was required and I thought these crazy 12ft balloon columns built with 16″ White would match the fun factor theme of each event. These are built with the flexible aeropole system and we installed 6 at each event. The heavy 28.5lbs base plates help in windy conditions but […]
Is there a helium shortage as a huge pocket of helium is found in Tanzania: Increased prices usually mean lower supply, but that’s not true for this gas. “There is actually so much helium that’s flooding the market that it’s not in short supply at all,” Burton says. And as for the future, “I’ve seen a […]
Roundhouse 10th Birthday Celebrations image © John Williams Before installing the Google drop last December I worked closely with The Roundhouse in Camden to match their strict safety standards. They must have been please as they called me back to help celebrate their 10th Birthday celebrations. No need for a site visit as I already knew […]
