We had Josie and Jasmin stilt walk at our summer party and what a great additional it was. Both girls were professional, friendly and inviting to all our guests and the feedback has been outstanding. Thanks to SASS Events for executing such a great addition to our party at such late notice/booking. Would 100% recommend for any party and I look forward to booking again in the future! Thank you.

The Long and Short of It: Your Complete Guide to Hiring Stilt Walkers in the UK
Whether you’re planning a wedding in a Cotswolds stately home, a corporate party in a city centre, or a festival in the Scottish Highlands, there's one thing every great event needs: a touch of magic. You need something that breaks the ice, gets people smiling, and creates a fantastic, memorable atmosphere.
As event professionals who’ve crisscrossed the country organising all sorts of dos, we’ve found that stilt walkers are one of the most versatile and high-impact entertainment options you can book. They work anywhere, for any crowd. But if you’re not in a major city, you might be wondering: where do I even find them? And how does it all work?
Relax, you’re in the right place. Consider this your definitive guide to hiring stilt walkers anywhere in the UK. We’ll cover everything from themes and venues to the all-important logistics of booking performers who might be travelling to you.
The Nationwide Appeal: Why Stilt Walkers are a Great British Choice
One of the best things about stilt walkers is their universal appeal. It doesn’t matter if your guests are three or ninety-three; the sight of a towering, beautifully costumed performer is guaranteed to bring a sense of wonder and fun. They are a brilliant choice for events right across the UK.
Here’s why they work so well everywhere:
Ultimate Versatility: Stilt walkers can adapt to almost any environment. They are just as effective greeting guests at a glamorous corporate event in a grand hotel as they are mingling at a rustic, relaxed wedding in a barn.
Instant Atmosphere Creators: The moment they appear, the energy of an event lifts. They provide an immediate visual spectacle that signals to your guests that they’re in for a special time.
Perfect for Any Audience: Their charm cuts across all ages and backgrounds. They are masters of gentle, friendly interaction, making everyone feel welcome and included in the fun.
Any Place, Any Party: Perfect Settings for Stilt Walkers Across the UK
The beauty of booking stilt walkers is that they can bring the party to you, wherever you are. They are a fantastic solution for adding that 'wow' factor, especially in locations where the local supply of professional entertainment might be a bit thin on the ground.
Events and Venues Where They Shine
They are a superb fit for a whole range of classic British settings:
Marquee Weddings and Parties: A marquee is a brilliant blank canvas, and stilt walkers are the perfect way to add a splash of colour and personality. They have all the ceiling height they need and are fantastic for welcoming guests as they arrive across the lawn.

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Stately Homes: The grandeur of a historic house provides a stunning backdrop for elegantly costumed performers. Imagine floral-themed walkers for a summer wedding or regal, historical characters for a corporate dinner – the photo opportunities are incredible.
Town Squares and Community Events: For a public event like a Christmas market or a summer fair, stilt walkers are a magnet for the crowds. A quick note: for any event in a public space, it's always worth checking with the local council about any permits you might need.
Mixed Private & Corporate Events: Whether it's a landmark birthday, an anniversary, or a company family fun day, stilt walkers are a brilliant addition. They provide top-tier, professional entertainment that feels special and unique, no matter your postcode.
Finding Your Theme: Styles that Work Anywhere
While some themes are location-specific, there are several classic styles that are guaranteed winners for events right across the UK. To host a party that will be remembered, you need a theme that perfectly matches the mood of your day. An event that is uniquely yours is always the goal, and a great performer can tailor their look to fit your vision.
Here are some of the most popular and effective themes:
LED Evening Sets: This is your guaranteed 'wow' factor for any event after dark. Performers adorned with hundreds of twinkling lights create a breathtaking, magical spectacle. They are perfect for milestone birthday parties, corporate awards evenings, and adding a touch of enchantment to a winter wedding reception.
Floral for Weddings: A hugely popular and beautiful choice. Elegant stilt walkers in costumes adorned with stunning flowers can greet your guests, mingle during the drinks reception, and provide the most romantic and whimsical photo opportunities.
Classic Circus: Bright, bold, and brilliantly fun. The timeless appeal of the circus is perfect for family fun days, festivals, and any event that needs a high-energy, joyful atmosphere. It’s a theme that brings out the inner child in everyone.
The Crucial Details: Budgeting and Logistics, UK-Wide
This is the most important section for anyone booking entertainment outside of a major city. You've found the perfect performer, but they're 150 miles away. How does that work? Let's break it down.
The Booking Basics
As with any booking, your performer will usually work in sets (e.g., 3 x 30 minutes) and will need a small, private space to prepare. But the key factor for a UK-wide booking is travel.
Understanding Costs: The "+ Travel" Factor
For a professional stilt walker in the UK, you should expect the base price to be in the range of £300–£600 per performer.
The crucial thing to remember is that this is often the fee before travel costs are added. Most professional performers are based in or near major cities but are more than happy to travel nationwide. Travel is typically charged per mile from their base to your venue and back again. For very long distances, the quote may also need to include accommodation.
This is where planning your party can suddenly get complicated. Calculating mileage and trying to get an all-inclusive price can involve a lot of back-and-forth emails.
However, this is precisely where Poptop makes your life a thousand times easier. When you search on our platform, the prices you see are all-inclusive. We automatically calculate the travel fees based on your venue's postcode, so the price you see is the final price you pay. This allows you to plan your party in minutes, not days, with total clarity on your budget.
Your Nationwide Solution: Booking Made Simple with Poptop
Finding a brilliant, reliable performer who is happy to travel to your corner of the country can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. But it doesn't have to be that way. We created Poptop to be your nationwide marketplace for the UK's best event talent.
We make it easy to find what you need effortlessly, no matter your postcode. Here’s how we help you book with confidence:
Discover Everything in One Convenient Place: One search on our platform gives you access to a huge range of incredible, vetted performers who are available for your date and happy to travel to your location.
Relax and Plan Without the Anxiety: When a supplier is travelling a long way, reliability is everything. You can trust that your event is in safe hands because we rigorously vet every single supplier. With clear communication and our money-back guarantee, you can just relax and look forward to your event.
Enjoy a Truly Friendly Attitude: Distance is no barrier to a fantastic experience. Our suppliers are chosen not just for their talent but for their professionalism and wonderfully friendly approach. They will bring a brilliant atmosphere with them, wherever your event may be.
