How to pay less
- Book one stilt walker for the arrival period, when guests gather
- Choose a costume from the stilt walker's existing range instead of a bespoke design
- Book a stilt walker based near the venue to avoid travel costs
Before you book
- Check the ground is firm and level and that ceilings and doorways are high enough for a stilt walker
- Ask the stilt walker for public liability insurance and a risk assessment
- Agree the number and length of sets and where the performer can change
- Plan a wet-weather option, as stilt walking on wet grass can be unsafe
