Living Trees: Woodland Walkabout Act for Hire in London

The Living Trees are a walkabout act of large, knobbly, moss-covered tree characters who tower over your guests and bring a touch of woodland magic to any event. They’re friendly, funny and very photogenic, which makes them a natural focal point for festivals, garden parties and themed events in London and Hertfordshire.

What the act involves

  • Full-bodied tree costumes, crafted in detail, which draw attention as soon as the performers arrive

  • Walkabout among your guests, creating focal points and gathering a crowd wherever they go

  • Quick-witted interaction: the performers are experienced street artists who move like trees and chat like old friends, so expect plenty of tree puns

  • Photo opportunities that guests of all ages queue up for

Because they stand tall and move slowly, guests can spot them across a busy garden or festival site, which makes them useful for drawing people towards a particular area.

The act has performed in the UK and abroad, including in Singapore and China.

Ideal events

The Living Trees suit any theme that leans towards nature or fantasy:

  • Enchanted forest and woodland themes

  • Nature, garden and outdoor events

  • Magical, mythical and fantasy themes

  • Family-friendly events and fun days

  • Festivals and public events

They're just as at home at a garden party in Hampstead as at a festival in Hertfordshire or a themed corporate event in the City.
