IMMERSIVE EVENTS

As well as producing and directing events, I create formats that appeal to diverse audiences. My main events experience is focusing on experiential family formats that surprise, delight and educate the audience.
With all events, the challenge is creating curiosity that leads the audience on a journey of discovery. Often making the ordinary seem extraordinary by sharing something unexpected about a familiar subject.
  • Produced UK wide, mass-scale events for various BBC brands, including Planet Dinosaur (BBC One/Jellyfish) and Wallace & Gromit’s World of Invention (BBC One/Aardman Animations).
  • Managed a Guinness World Record, leaving a legacy of 500,000 native trees planted across the UK (BBC Two Springwatch).

  • Developed a multimedia campaign for Historic Royal Palaces linked to BBC Two series, Fit To Rule: How Royal Illness Changed History, presented by HRP Chief Curator, Dr Lucy Worsley. The campaign consisted of activities across three palaces, achieving 45% uplift in visitor numbers during that weekend
  • Developed and produced the creative concept for a nationwide history festival, involving immersive theatre, 360 film, sports, hands-on activities, digital content, community and schools outreach.The first event reached 15,000 people and the format is now an HRP flagship event.
