NEC – 3 x 500 Drops
Here’s 3 x 500 balloon drops installed at The NEC. The first drop was over the entrance for the morning and then 2 more drops over a stand for an evening drinks reception.
ICC Balloon Drops
2 x 1250 Balloon drops in Hall 3, The ICC for Slimming World conference 2019. On this occasion the balcony area was used for guests so we had to move the pull strings to the higher gantry. We installed at 8pm on a Friday night and pulled the lines 9pm Saturday. On arriving at The […]
Engine Rooms, Southampton
Today’s balloon drops were at The Engine Rooms, Southampton. Usually I install 1 drop horizontal with the stage. As you can see the venue has a large metal tube running along the centre, perfect for James Bond to hide in. I split the net and opted for 2 drops either side which worked well.
Mayfair
10 Balloon drops & 16 exploding balloons installed in this Mayfair restaurant for New Years Eve. As with previous years we arrive at 3.30am and finish for 9am.
The Hippodrome NYE
Back at the Hippodrome for 2 x 500 drops, another installation I do every year. The nets are pulled up into position from the roof so ladders etc are not required. Previous installations:
Oldham, Manchester
Here’s a 300 drop in Oldham. I’ve installed this for the last 3 years in a Pizza & Prosecco bar. It’s a nice warm up for the London drops required on the 30th & 31st. This drop stays in place for 2 days before New Years. The balloons will last because they’re air filled.
Englefield House
4 Balloon Drops at Englefield House installed with a 1 hour window on a very hot day.
NYE 2019
NYE 2019 could have been my busiest day of the year but is it my most profitable… probably not. NYE 2019 I took on less jobs and only worked in locations where it was easy to hang stuff – like The Hippodrome & Novikov. As a result there was time to have fun and eat […]
Wild Berry & Purple
Another balloon wall installed for NuSkin with a colour scheme of Wild Berry & Purple this time at the Birmingham Metropole. 3 large bases were used so this was completely freestanding. You might also notice I used ‘balloon shine’ to give the balloons that polished glass look. The wall had to be complete for 8am […]
Balloon Arches, Columns & Bunches
Organic balloon displays and corporate balloon drops.
Southampton Uni
Always nice to see a lowered truss when you arrive, tech guys at Southampton Uni were extra helpful. Thank you for sorting this for us, it all worked fantastically on the night! How to rig a balloon drop Whenever I’m installing a balloon drop I try to work thinking of a TRIANGLE. The triangle is […]
Billingsgate
Another 2 x 500 balloon drops installed at Billingsate Market. Here’s previous installs for 2014 & 2016 Your balloon drops worked beautifully at Old Billingsgate on Friday. The party was a great success, so thank you for being part of that. Under Construction pic.twitter.com/NN7fZV8Uue — balloon (@balloon) 10 January 2019 Working at Old Billingsgate today […]
