If you want to create your own winter experience, either for a party, corporate event or business attraction, here are a few hints from Red Masque directory to make your Christmas event something special!<\/p>\n<p>If you want a show as part of your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmasque.co.uk\/product.php?catid=142\">Christmas party<\/a>, you&#8217;ll need an inside space or warm, dry and well-appointed marquee to hold it in. Acts that look great in marquees include:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Circus acts, especially aerialists, or silk acrobats!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Dance groups who can fill the performance area with music, movement and style!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Party bands that can play in all those cheesy pop hits we love at Xmas!<\/p>\n<p>Make your event great by having sheer variety of entertainment on offer. So, offer lots of different acts to see, rather than one big attraction and people will enjoy the event more.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Walkabout acts really are great and so are costumed characters, ice characters and stilt walkers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Generate a warm feeling with fire acts to light up the winter darkness<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Conjure up the magic of Christmas with street magicians performing close-up tricks and illusions<\/p>\n<p>Food and Drink<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Hire a hog roast or BBQ for outside cooked goodies<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Offer traditional treats such as roasted chestnuts and mulled wine that fill the air with deliciously Christmas smells!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Have a Christmas cocktail bar, decorated with ice sculptures serving frosted cocktails or frozen daiquiris (and non-alcoholic drinks for the drivers)<\/p>\n<p>Visitors love interactive experiences. They don&#8217;t have to be very fancy, just lots of fun for any age.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Turn traditional side stalls into Christmas fun, such as a snowball coconut shy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Book a winter or \u201cFrozen\u201d themed bouncy castle with integrated rain cover, so the weather doesn&#8217;t stop the fun<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Get your skates on and book an artificial ice rink &#8211; all the fun, none of the wet! Most ice rink suppliers offer a complete package with chalet, boot hire, and experienced staff trained in the required health and safety procedures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plan your next Christmas event as early as you can to avoid disappointment.
