Walk About Stilt Performers

Skylight Circus stilt walkers love to interact with audiences at festivals and events. “We can create anything, for any event….we love a creative challenge!” Our living trees were a hit with festival audiences across the North West. Performers took part in several parades and emerged from shrubbery to delight festival goers!

Suitable for:

Outdoor Festivals

Parades

Family audiences

“It’s great to get a reaction from the crowd! The children really enjoy interacting and having a go on stilts themselves”
