Arches, Drops & Races
My first drop at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester. This was 550 balloons stuffed with scratch cards for a Christmas Conference. To get around the problem of trying to drop the balloons over every seat, we moved the whole thing back in the room and got all the attendants to leave their seats for the drop. […]
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 […]

This New Years Eve I decided to concentrate on London venues only, I didn’t cover Birmingham for the first time in 28 years. It worked out well and with 3 crew on the 30th and 6 crew on 31st we covered Mayfair, Park Lane, Knightsbridge, Southbank, The O2 and The Ned. Thank you very much […]

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.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
My first installation at KOKO in Camden, 500 drop theatre style. See also these Theatre drops for Wicked.
