We have a wide range of choreographed shows and themes that can be found on our previous events page. Typically, the most requested themes are: - Post-apocalytpic - Circus - Freak show - Alice in Wonderland With in-house professional make-up and costume teams, you can be sure that you'll be getting the best. If you have any of your own ideas that you'd like to discuss, just email info@pantheatrix.co.uk.

Shows vary in length depending on the service offered. Choreographed shows are usually shorter than ambient shows and walkabout acts. Typically our fire shows are 30 minutes long.

As a specialist circus company, you can be assured that all members of Pantheatrix, both behind the scenes and on the stage, are professional and impassioned. Our make-up team are trained to a degree level, our in-house costume team are among the most whimsical and visionary that we've encountered in our time as a troupe, and the performers, well, we'll let the footage speak for itself. Our props are made in-house using a combination of handcraft and pioneering 3D printing technology. This allows us to customise all of our props to suit us, allowing for the most flawless, flowiest and flabbergasting spectacles; we've even invented our own unique props, such as our 64 wick double helix fire ladder.

Our walkabout acts are interactive and as such, the only space required is the one we share with you. For any performances that require fire or spinning props, for safety, we are legally obligated to have a 2x2 metre (m) space. Given the nature of our business, we prefer high ceilings with no overhead hazards, but individual needs can be accounted for during the choreography process. For a full-scale fire show, such as Teapot Perspectives, we require a performance area that is 12m in diameter, with further space for a backdrop and backstage area. For safety and legal purposes, we must have a visual or physical barrier that separates us from the audience, this is a non-negotiable clause of our insurance. If you would like fire breathers or the use of lycopodium powder (it's like fire on steroids) then we would need a 6m space to operate safely; trust us when we say even with this exclusion zone, you'll still feel the heat.

Most definitely, so long as your space meets all safety requirements including space needed and ventilation, we are able to perform inside. We also have a selection of fire props that are more suited to a smaller space. For indoor fire shows, a site specific risk assessment will be necessary. Contact us to find out if your space is suitable.

Absolutely. Not only do we believe in it, but the people at the insurance company insisted. Our kit consists of fire extinguishers, water buckets, fire blankets and equipment to extinguish the fire. We will always require a point of contact at our shows that will be available throughout our stay with you. We also require a couple of stewards or security to 'spot' for us, or we can bring a couple of our own for an additional fee.

We have a powerful PA or small stereo rig inclusive of our price. Our systems create plenty of good quality sounds, as accredited by our neighbours, and easily cater for most events. If the event is outside, please consider that we will need a power source for the system. If you have a system that you'd prefer to use, please mention it when you contact us and we can discuss further.

If you have some music that you would like, please let us know when you contact us. Please note that the music choice will dictate the tempo of the show so it is imperative to offer us as much notice as possible to cater for your requests. For our immersive shows, the music is set to the choreography and cannot be changed.

We have our own in-house, free-standing aerial rig that is suitable for most flat spaces. please contact us for more details.

The price of each show is tailored to your needs, and incorporate everything from number of performers to the duration of the event. Please contact us with your requests so we can give you an accurate quote.

We are open to doing charity events, a couple of the ones we hold close to our hearts are Dorset based The Boo Charity and Teddy Rocks. Please be aware that whilst we offer reduced rates for charity events, the nature of our business involves a fair amount of overhead costs that you will always be required to cover.

A non-refundable deposit of 33% will be required to confirm the booking, with the remaining balance to be paid within 7 days of the performance.

Cancellations are possible, though please consider that deposits are non-refundable. If you cancel with AT LEAST 72 hours notice, you will not be liable for the full fee, cancellations after this time will be required to pay in full as we would have spent money and time on the required equipment to fulfil the booking.

If the forecast is looking poor in the run-up to your booking, we will be in touch to discuss the possibilities. If it would not be possible to be outside, we would consider moving inside or re-arranging the show. As these occurrences would be specific, please be assured that we will be in touch and address any issues as they develop.

With regards to outdoor events, our general risk assessment is all we need. Our performers will always assess the site before beginning a show. For any spaces that are inside or have potential hazards, such as trees, a site site-specific risk assessment will be required. Please contact us to discuss this further.
