Arches, Drops & Races
This balloon drop at The Roundhouse in Camden was a little different because Google wanted big balloons. When we drop smaller 11″ they get jumped on and burst but when BIGGER balloons fall everybody wants to bop them back up into the air and punch them around the room. The Roundhouse itself is a spectacular […]
Amazing to help celebrate 9 spellbinding years for Wicked this September 2015. They dropped 2000 Emerald Green balloons and were lucky enough to watch the show, it’s a fantastic story and the songs just blow you away. We’ve rigged this drop for the theatre production Wicked on 15 occasions at The Apollo Theatre, Victoria, […]
This was a standard balloon drop installation very similar to the theatre work we do. This drop consisted of 2 x 750 Metallic Gold balloons lifted into the ceiling area of this famous Blackpool landmark. The drop was for the Biba 2015 awards and the client wanted one net across the front of the stage […]
We installed this 7000 balloon drop at the Liverpool One shopping mall overnight on 21st July. We started at 10pm and worked though to 6am before waiting for the afternoon drop. This shopping mall drop was spread over 5 nets to achieve maximum coverage. 3500 Of the balloons were stuffed with tickets of which 500 […]
This all Gold drop was to mark the opening of a new wing at Dundee University. As we’re based in The Midlands there was a fair amount of travelling involved but we like an adventure. We had to cost in 2 days travelling and hotel accommodation but the final results were spectacular. We stretched our […]
500 Balloon drop installed in The Savoy Hotel for a charity fundraising ball, the balloons were released when the charity total hit £1 million raised. The tech guys at the hotel prepared two ceiling hooks for us at 20ft apart. This sounds straight forward but when we attached the net the whole thing was missing […]
This balloon drop for the Gazprom Christmas party was hung from the lighting truss at Old Billingsgate Market. This made life easy as the trussing was dropped down to head height and allowed us to hang without scaffolding or ladders. When inflating large numbers of air filled balloons on site we’d always rather work with […]
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. […]
