Lady Christobel and her Butler
Brought vividly to life by two accomplished character actors, Britain’s most rejected aristocrat and her lugubrious old retainer hobnob with the public, creating astonishment and mirth in equal measure.
For themed events the less-than-royal walkabout is equally entertaining in Victorian/Edwardian or Roaring Twenties versions.
Fairy and Gnome
Since 1989, Norbert, a large garden gnome and an ageing, grumbling fairy, have proved to be extraordinary smile spreaders, entertaining for all the family.
Seasonal character changes bring Fairy Daffydill at Easter, Floriblunda in Summer and Snowflake at Christmas Time.

The Return of Stella Starlight
Loosely based on Sunset Boulevard’s Norma Desmond, silent movie queen Stella is released from retirement seclusion to greet her adoring public – perhaps some will even remember her.
Attendant butler Jorrocks provides a comic foil to her grandiose illusions of a movie comeback.
Perfect for Hollywood themed events.
Mistress Crabby and Master Mandrake
Medieval mountebanks peddling nostrums, elixirs, moth-eaten relics and Latin tags, all available for a handful of groats, in an attempt to effect regeneration of those whose humours are out of balance.
Laughter proves to be the best medicine after all.
‘They were super friendly and went the extra yard for me; it struck me just how much these sort of things bring to a festival, without their dedication and wit there would be very few visual memories aside from the bands, for the public to take away’ Sonja Chaplain, Cornbury Festival 2006
