Spectacular parade entertainment
Visually striking moving parade pieces – with the unique ability to become close-up theatre whenever the procession slows
The Show Globes provide spectacular mobile parade entertainment, designed to travel continuously with a procession at speeds of up to 4 mph / 6 km/h. Highly visible along the route, they can remain in continuous movement for parade performances of up to 180 minutes.
Each Globe is a beautifully detailed, self-contained living world, combining character performance, music and interactive special effects within a striking mobile structure. They can appear individually or together, bringing scale, colour, movement and an unforgettable visual presence to parades around the world.
But what makes The Show Globe truly unique is what happens when the procession slows or stops.
More than a moving spectacle
Parades rarely move continuously. Routes pause, performers wait and audiences spend time watching from behind the barriers.
This is where The Show Globe offers something genuinely different.
Instead of the performance stopping when the parade does, our characters use these moments to engage directly with the people around them. The Globes can move close to the barriers, drawing spectators into each world through expressive non-verbal performance, playful encounters and interactive special effects.
Every pause becomes an opportunity for live theatre – allowing audiences to experience much more than a passing visual impression.
Created for close-up audience connection
Although visually powerful enough to stand out within a large-scale procession, The Show Globe has been created around the connection between character and audience.
During slower sections and pauses, our characters can:
- Interact with individual spectators at the barriers
- Create spontaneous moments of theatre along the route
- Involve children and adults in the performance
- Invite audiences to activate themed special effects
- Continue entertaining while the procession is stationary
This combination of large-scale parade impact and intimate interaction makes The Show Globe particularly memorable for audiences.
One Globe or an entire collection of worlds
Each of our four interactive parade acts can appear individually, or several can be combined to create an extraordinary parade feature.
The Enchanted Flower Globe, Mystic Mirror Globe, Sea Sphere and Living Snow Globe each bring a completely different character, atmosphere and visual world to the procession.
For maximum impact, all four can appear together as The Show Globe Grand Parade – a collection of roaming theatrical worlds travelling through the event and creating different encounters with audiences along the route.
Together, they provide scale, variety and a strong visual identity while retaining the detailed performance and close audience connection at the heart of our work.
International parade experience
The Show Globe has appeared in parades and major outdoor celebrations internationally, bringing its distinctive combination of spectacle and close-up theatre to audiences across the world. Examples are: Macau International Parade, Nice Carnival-France, Manchester Christmas Parade-UK, Cabalgata de Reyes Cadiz & Las Rosas Madrid-Spain, Aalborg Karnival-Denmark, Ashbourne Lantern Parade-UK. Chamonix Christmas Parade-France.
Equally striking in daylight and when illuminated after dark, the Globes remain highly visible, engaging and full of intricate detail. Their universal, non-verbal performance style allows audiences of different ages, languages and nationalities to connect immediately with the characters and their worlds.
