Jade was absolutely brilliant for our 800+ Girlguiding event. The communication was quick and succinct from start to finish, a real plus for me because I was needing to book at last minute. She arrived in good time and was great with the children - exactly what we needed. Jade was also able to wear a costume that best went with the theme of our event. We will absolutely use again. Thank you Jade!

Perfect addition to any wedding, my guests loved the stilts and fire show and all said how they had never seen this at a wedding before so it was 100% worth it, good value for money too. Arrived on time and was very professional. Would recommend for any event especially a wedding.

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Harbour Events: The harbourside is the beating heart of Bristol, and it’s the perfect stage for stilt walkers. Nautical or carnival themes look incredible against the water, bringing life, movement, and colour to the popular plazas.
Sustainability Fairs: Bristol is a famously green city. Stilt walkers in beautiful eco or floral-themed costumes are a fantastic, visual way to support the message of your event, engaging visitors in a way that’s both fun and on-brand. They are ideal for events held in the city’s many lovely community parks.
Family Days: Stilt walkers are a guaranteed hit with audiences of all ages, but especially with kids. Their larger-than-life presence brings a sense of wonder and magic that’s perfect for any family-focused event.
Costumes with Character: Themes that Nail the Bristol Vibe
This is your opportunity to tap into Bristol's unique identity. A well-chosen theme makes your event feel thoughtful, creative, and totally in tune with the city. To host a party that will be remembered, you need a look that's as unique as your event, and our suppliers are experts at creating that for you.
Here are some themes that feel properly Bristol:
Eco & Floral: A beautiful tribute to Bristol's green credentials. Think performers adorned with intricate floral designs, costumes made from recycled materials, or themes based on the natural world. It’s a thoughtful and visually stunning choice.
Nautical & Harbour: You can't go wrong with this classic in a city so defined by its water. Fun pirates, elegant sailors, or shimmering mermaids are a perfect fit for any event taking place around the historic harbour.
Neon & Circus Mash-up: Bristol has a massive circus and performance scene. This theme taps into that with a modern twist. Imagine traditional circus skills blended with UV paint, neon lights, and a banging soundtrack. It’s edgy, cool, and perfect for evening events.
Carnival: Bristol knows how to throw a carnival, and this theme brings all that energy to your event. Expect a riot of colour, feathers, sequins, and performers with infectious energy who are guaranteed to get your guests dancing.
The Practical Bit: Budgeting and What to Expect
You're picturing a crew of neon circus performers lighting up your warehouse party. Fantastic! Now for the logistics. What do you need to know before you book?
The Basics of Booking
A standard booking will usually see the performers on-site for 2-3 hours, during which they’ll perform in sets (e.g., 3 x 30 minutes). This gives them time to rest and recharge, ensuring they’re full of energy for every appearance. They'll also need a small, private space to get ready. And a quick word to the wise: if your event is outdoors, especially by the harbour, have a quick chat about the wind and the evenness of the ground!
Bristol Stilt Walker Price Guide
In Bristol, a sensible budget for a professional stilt walker is between £250 and £430 per performer. This is a brilliant investment for the amount of atmosphere and visual impact they deliver. The final price can vary depending on:
The complexity and uniqueness of the costume.
The total performance time required.
The number of stilt walkers you book.
