Re-invention 1

The first of our goblins to hit the life cast ready for moulding and transformation into our all new Goblin Gourmets, complete with chefs hats, giant cutlery and a child size cauldron! Expect a soft launch in October ready for the 2015 season.

Meanwhile this week our Penguins Abroad continue to visit the various beaches of Centre Parcs whilst Teddy and Otto make an appearance at the Woburn site this Sunday. Or if you find yourself at the Greenbelt Festival on Saturday keep an eye out for Prince Amir and the Camel!

Viva la re-invention!

Banner Men

Jamie has completed work on the Epico banner, a show promoting back drop to hang on our tent. We have also used paint effects to distress our pop up tent giving it a mouldering decayed feel. This includes a muddy giant foot print on the roof, incurred when Aurelious failed to honour his gambling debts to a cantankerous old troll!

The Week that Was

Phew! Nottingham, Fleetwood, Longlete, Teddy & Otto, Hairy Chairs, Penguins! In between we have been busy medievalising the Epico tent, preparing this gorgeous banner, making flags, signs and purchasing bunting! Its all part of the great Creature Encounter re-invention of 2014. 

If you are in the Nottingham area this weekend, why not come to the Riverside Festival and witness a host of street entertainment, including our Goblins and Hairy Chairs, for the last time in their current incarnation! 

Viva la Re-invention
