Flying Moon Ring

Available for pantomime hire and for productions of the Wizard of Oz, Crazy for You etc...

The Moon Ring does NOT come with any flying rig and therefore this effect requires a flying rig from a reputable flying company such as Flying By Foy.

Flying Coach and Horse

Our animatronic, flying coach and horses receive regular acclaim from critics and audiences alike.

“My two were totally amazed at the horse and carriage and when it started to fly and come towards the audience, Abigayle (aged 4) was open mouthed and said ‘Nana – it’s really flying’. She was truly amazed.”

— Audience Member, Loughborough Town Hall

“If you want them to come back for the second act, you have to send the audience off to the interval on a high. That is something the Norwich Theatre Royal achieves admirably, with one of the best pantomime horses in Pantoland. As the winged thoroughbred hauls Cinderella’s coach off the stage into a sky filled with fireworks, the effect is truly magical.”

— The Stage

Giants

The Giant is often left to the imagination of the audience in productions of Jack and the Beanstalk - not in ours! We have a range of animatronic Giants of various sizes that regularly wow our audiences when they make their appearance on stage.

“An impressive giant!”

— The Stage - Marlow Theatre, Canterbury

“They reckon they’ve got the biggest giant in pantoland, and he probably is – his lumbering entrance sent the small child next to me diving under the seat.”

— The Stage - Loughborough Town Hall
