“Myself and my family (2 boys) went to Santa’s Merrily Muddled Christmas show and it was outstanding. All performers put in 110% and the show was creative and immersive. The children laughed and giggled throughout. I couldn’t recommend more. We will be keeping an eye out for their other shows because this was top class and worth every penny.”

Theatrical Immersive Pocket Trails

Trails are themed around the location and the seasonal or themed focus of the event. Narrative content, characters and activities can be bespoke in their creation to suit the needs of the venue/ company or hired as a set trail package experience.

An Example of Theatrical Immersive Trail:

  • 6 Performers – stationed at 6 different locations throughout the grounds to create the trail.
  • Children receive a map and activity sheet at the start of the trail to complete along the trail. Activity sheet can include additional activities such as a scavenger hunt and code breaking.
  • Children follow the map to find Vinnie’s Halloween characters. At the character stations, the children interact with the Halloween Characters and hear the riddles and tales that provide clues as to the monster’s identity.
  • Children collect the clues on their activity sheet.
  • Once they reach Vinnie’s final station, they draw their interpretation of the monster, with the help of Gloria the Ghost, before presenting their drawings to Vinnie.
  • Once the monster identity has been discovered, Vinnie celebrates the children completing their trail with party games and dances. The miniparty concludes with a visit from the mystery monster… who turns out to be friendly!
