Here’s 2 x 250 Balloon Drops installed in an M&S store for a surprise giveaway – for the social media campaign #MYMARKSFAVE. This was a late 8pm accessory and a midnight finish.
LSO St Lukes
We installed 5ft and 3ft balloons and 2 x 500 drops at LSO St Lukes, London. Fantastic venue with easy access to the roof for no brainer rigging. Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you and your team for the balloons that were a roaring success last night. Client was thrilled […]
Wicked 12
Can’t believe I’ve been doing these Wicked drops for 12 years. It’s been like a balloon drop apprentiship with each event getting easier and faster to install. I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did for us yesterday. The balloon drop looked amazing! I’ll send you over some photos when […]
PVC
I regularly get asked to include PVC balloons in my balloon drops. The problem here is the weight – PVC weighs considerably more than latex. My main concern is if they deflate after the net has been rigged – large sphere when deflated will fall like a brick. Also the nets we use are really […]
Devere Cotswold
A 500 drop in the marquee at The Devere Lakeside hotel, Cotswold. This was made interesting because I had to take my Glasgow arches down at 6pm and setup next morning in The Cotswold at 7.30am.
KOKO
My first installation at KOKO in Camden, 500 drop theatre style. See also these Theatre drops for Wicked.
O2
Heart shaped latex balloons at The O2 London. A small 200 drop made nice and simple because they lowered the truss. We were back for NYE 2019.
The Apollo
Here’s our first drop at The Hammersmith Apollo. A slightly tricky install, we had to make sure no pull lines cast any shadows over the huge screen. Not easy as I had my usual 2 lines coming from the centre. Also below is a photo from The Apollo roof:
Adelphi
For the 1000th show of Kinky Boots we worked with the Adelphi Theatre on The Strand to celebrate with this balloon drop. The Red balloons were printed 2 sides ‘Kinky Boots”. Check some of our other theatre decorations.
NYE 2017
All went to plan this year for New Years Eve. It was 3 long days starting in Brighton on the 29th, London on 30th & London and Birmingham on the 31st. I think next year I might consider missing out Birmingham as I was pretty exhausted (2am to 6pm on the 31st). The light at […]
Hippodrome London
This years Hippodrome NYE drop was a straight forward rig as it was a mirror of last years. It’s always easier working somewhere the 2nd time round.
Roundhouse 2018
This years December drop at The Roudhouse was rigged slightly differently. The central Hex Truss was being used for a trapese act so I had to hang the net clear of this area. I was allowed up above the truss onto the open mesh where I dropped down 2 lines to pull the net up […]
