Giant Bubbles at a Spring Event in Dorking
Easter and spring events are made for bubbles. The weather is (usually) a little kinder, families are out in force, and there is something about a giant, shimmering bubble floating across a green that makes everyone stop and look up. This spring we brought our bubbleology show to an Easter event in Dorking, Surrey, and it was a joy from start to finish.
Our bubble artists use specially made wands, ropes and nets to create bubbles of every size, from clouds of tiny bubbles that children can chase to enormous tubes that stretch several metres before they pop. Some of the biggest bubbles are taller than the adults watching them. With a bit of skill and a helpful breeze, we can even send bubbles over the heads of the crowd or wrap a child inside one.
What Is Bubbleology?
Bubbleology is our name for the art and science of giant bubbles. It is part performance, part science lesson and part interactive play. During a walkabout set our performers move around the event, creating bubbles wherever the children are. In a more structured session we explain a little of what is going on: why bubbles are round, why they show rainbow colours, and why some days are better for bubbles than others.
That mix of wonder and learning is why bubbleology works so well at schools as well as public events. Children who are not interested in juggling or balance often light up when the bubbles come out, and it is one of the most inclusive activities we offer. Bubbles are visual and sensory, and children of all ages and abilities can join in.
Why Bubbles Work So Well at Spring Events
- They draw a crowd. Giant bubbles can be seen from right across a field, so they help pull people towards your stalls, stage or activity area.
- They suit all ages. Toddlers chase them, older children try to make their own, and adults take photos.
- They are gentle. There is no loud noise or fire, which makes bubbles ideal for younger audiences and for children with sensory sensitivities.
- They look great on camera. Event organisers love the photos and videos for their social media.
Bubbles Across Surrey and Beyond
We perform regularly across Surrey, including Dorking, Guildford, Sutton and the surrounding towns, and we have bubble artists based in other parts of the country too. Our team members live in Bristol, Brighton, Leeds, Kendal, Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester and London, so we can bring bubbleology to events nationwide without big travel costs.
Giant bubbles pair perfectly with our other acts. Many organisers book a bubble artist alongside a circus skills workshop, so children can watch the bubbles and then have a go at juggling, plate spinning and diabolo. Others add a bubble stiltwalker, who towers over the crowd while filling the air with bubbles. It is a lovely combination for Easter fairs, spring fetes and garden parties.
A Moment From the Day
One of our favourite moments in Dorking was watching a group of younger children who had been a little shy at the start. By the end of the afternoon they were running alongside the biggest bubbles, laughing and pointing, and one of them had a go at making her own with a small wand. That is exactly what we hope for at every event: everyone involved, nobody left on the sidelines, and plenty of happy faces for the photographers.
Planning Bubbles for Your Event
Bubbles are at their best outdoors, ideally with a little space and a light breeze. Very strong wind or heavy rain can make things tricky, so for outdoor bookings we always have a plan B and can move to a covered area or switch to smaller bubbles. We can also perform indoors in larger halls, where we use different techniques to keep things safe and slip free.
Giant Bubble FAQs
Are the bubble solutions safe?
Yes. We use child-friendly bubble mixes and keep the area tidy as we go. We do recommend sensible footwear on hard surfaces, as bubble mix can make the ground slippery.
How long can a bubble artist perform for?
Most bookings are made up of walkabout sets of around 45 minutes, with short breaks in between. We can fit around your event timings and stage schedule.
Can you put a child inside a bubble?
Indoors, yes. With our bubble ring set-up we can lift a giant bubble around a child (or a bride and groom) for a brilliant photo moment.
