Festival audiences want something they will film and share. The fire acts are built for exactly that: flaming wheels, fire eating, body burning and towering flares, at their best as the sun goes down.

The aerial acts use a free-standing lyrapole, so they can go up on a stage, in a tent or on open ground without a rigging point. Recent outdoor and festival appearances include the Lincoln Steampunk Festival in 2026.

Festivals FAQs

What do you need for a fire show?

A flat area with at least 3 metres clear between performer and audience, ideally outdoors or in a suitable tent with the organiser's agreement. I'll talk through the space with you before the day.

Can you do several sets across a day or weekend?

Yes. Festivals often book a mix of stage sets and walkabout spread across the day. Send me your schedule and I'll put together a plan.

Are any acts suitable for family audiences?

Yes. Papillon Rose, Peacock, Vintage Circus and the Alice walkabout all work well for families. The burlesque acts are for adult audiences and late-night stages.

Do you travel to festivals outside Yorkshire?

Yes, all over the UK and Europe. Travel is included in your quote.

When do festivals usually book?

Most summer festivals book their line-ups between January and April, so it's worth getting in touch early in the year.
