Festival work has been a source of various opportunities and related large scale offers ranging from film and television to sporting events. Contacts for Artist organisations made during these events represent the high point of immediate mass celebration. When the Strongbow company realised its position as a site location, is a potential advertising opportunity, ‘Epic entrance’ was formed. From its Bestival location on the Isle of Wight, Shademakers were engaged to deliver the Notting Hill style carnival parade entrance for the first winner of the competition. Over the next two years, Shademakers were component in staging a Roman Goddess procession at the Isle of Wight Festival and the following year a design commissioned costume and Volkswagen bus parade entrance with Samba drummers for the Southsea ‘Victorious Festival’.
