In partnership with Public Image Events, part of the Culture Creative Group, we are delighted to announce that we have opened the doors to our Northumberland warehouses and launched a new hires business for 2026.

Hires include multiple props made by our creative team for both indoor and outdoor trails and events, and technical equipment for creating special effects.
Some of our props include a 12m-long hot air balloon used in a retelling of the story of the Wizard of Oz; a pair of 2 metre-tall polar bears, standing on their hind legs used in the Snow Queen indoor trail; coffins lined in red velvet used for Dracula’s lair; thousands of tree baubles; and a multitude of evil-looking pumpkins and spiders of every size from their award-winning Halloween Trails. Plus, there are smoke machines, bubble machines, and other technical equipment for creating special effects available for hire.
Ian Bone, Director of Public Image Events and Co-Director of Culture Creative said: “We are delighted to be expanding Public Image Events through introducing prop and technical hires. Most of the events that Culture Creative’s award-winning design team works on are at the tail end of the year, so it makes sense to hire out the best of our props held in storage as we have a huge variety available.”
Clare Elliott, Senior Designer at Culture Creative said: “Over the years we have created everything from an ice maiden’s palace, to a mad hatter’s tea party. We have brought everyone’s favourite fairy tales to life using props, lighting effects, dressing and so much more. For hundreds of thousands of people each year our creative experiences are a seasonal highlight. We love recreating fairy stories out of props and are delighted that they bring so much enjoyment.”
Further props will be added to the company’s website as the team continues to catalogue and prep the thousands of lights, flowers, and Christmas trees it stores throughout the year, for public and private hire.
