Arches, Drops & Races
Today we installed another theatre drop at Bloomsbury Theatre, London. This was a smaller 400 drop for a comedy show and I included a few larger 16″ White to add a bit of fun. We followed the usual procedure, dropping the net from the balcony for easy filling and then pulling it up into position. […]
Decorated the Radisson and Hippodrome Theatre in Bristol with 600 helium balloons. This was for the Hamilton press night. Nothing to report except the function room on 2nd floor of The Radisson has a super low ceiling.
For this years Wicked press night we installed 2 balloon walls. A green wall for the wicked witch and a pink wall for the good witch – or is the wicked witch actually good (in Wicked)? As well as vinyls on the wall we also used printed balloons. I twisted side print balloons with smaller […]
Here’s the decor for Hamilton press night, I had to decorate the Theatre & the Uni both in close proximity. The lighting guys did a fab job turning a cold hall into a warm party room.

Can’t believe I’ve been doing this drop for 17 years – Apollo Theatre, Victoria
Organic Garland to frame The Angry Crab Shack in the Theatre District of London. I used carb foil shaped balloons and vinyl graphics on the larger 16″ balloons. As usual, my thanks to Laura & Alex for the help.
I’ve been following the Les Miserables tour around the UK for 2019. Now in 2020 they’re back in London at the reopening of the stunning Sondheim Theatre. It was great fun decorating the Ham Yard hotel and creating this crazy massive bunch for the stairs. We helium filled 2000 x 12″ balloons. We were working […]
Wicked 13 put on a fantastic night for their anniversary. We did the usual balloon drop and then supplied a balloon wall for the after show press night. The 2000 drop for wicked 13 was installed at The Apollo Theatre, Victoria and the wall setup in The Park Plaza. I used vinyl graphics on this […]
People and Balloons make for great photos and a great backdrop is asking for a social media share. There’s nothing better than seeing smily faces in front, behind or under them. When I build a wall or arch I never get to see the fun it leaves behind – but after a social media search […]
