PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGNS

One of Area 51’s unique selling points is that we have designed and created a vast stock of costumes, using our own skilled in-house teams. The range includes full-size robots, animatronic trolls and creatures, big bobble-head 3D caricatures of rock stars, stunning dancewear and themed costume ensembles for fairy tales and fantasies. Our creations are a key part of our events entertainment service, but we are happy to quote for costume commissions for clients.

PREVIOUS PROJECTS

HUNGARY FOR SUCCESS!

HAMMING IT UP AT SILVERSTONE

Area 51 helped bring a flavour of the Balearic party scene to Formula 1’s British Grand Prix staged at Silverstone. The company created a special “Ham-former” robot stilts character, a hybrid of the popular A51 Transformer and a Lewis Hamilton bobble head, which caused a storm among race fans

HATS OFF TO J HUS!

QUACK TEAM FITS THE BILL!

A successful rural country bistro-pub and restaurant required an innovative, high-impact PR campaign to help promote the business in the wake of an expensive kitchen refurbishment. Ten eye-catching duck character costumes were designed and created in-house at Area 51’s workshop.

LAUNCH OF THE BEANO EXPERIENCE

Beano HQ teamed up with House PR to bring the kids’ comic into the 21st century. They launched the Beano Studios and the Beano Experience, and the big unveiling event was at Beano’s Fleet Street HQ.

BUTTONS THE CADBURY COW

Research for chocolate makers Cadbury found that 1 in 3 children didn’t realise milk came from cows. And many didn’t how big they are. So Cadbury asked Area 51 to create a life-size, realistic,  animatronic cow, named Buttons. She would show families at London’s Southbank Centre how friendly cows can be and help launch the Cadbury

PERGOLA

Pergolas are shaded paths and sitting areas. They are also the theme chosen by the Incipio Group for its range of central London restaurants, some of which bear the Pergola brand. The concept was to create a leafy luxurious outdoor feel just off the capital’s busy streets.

LEGOLAND: WORLD’S SMALLEST PUMPKIN PATCH

Miniland at Legoland’s Windsor attraction brings together some of the world’s most famous landmarks. Here you will find Lego versions of the Eifel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Sphynx and a pyramid alongside Stonehenge and the old Wembley Stadium. When they wanted to create the world’s smallest pumpkin patch for Halloween, they turned to us.

Area 51 performers are pretty famous for making a big entrance but at the Isle Of Wight Festival they gave many helping hands to two lucky people who won a national prize to take their bows in jaw-dropping style! Teaming up with Strongbow cider
