Aslan the Giant Walkabout Lion is a life sized roaming attraction that brings instant excitement wherever he appears. Standing around 7ft tall and approximately 8ft long, Aslan moves slowly through spaces, captivating audiences with realistic movement and personality.
The lion is brought to life by three skilled puppeteers who control the head, and legs, allowing Aslan to walk, pause and interact naturally with the crowd. The coordinated movement creates the illusion of a living animal, making the act ideal for festivals, shopping centres, zoos and themed events.
Accompanying Aslan is his friendly Lion Ranger, who looks after him while engaging audiences with fun, interactive and age appropriate facts about lions and wildlife. The Ranger encourages questions and participation, adding an educational element that appeals to all ages.
Fully mobile and suitable for indoor or outdoor use, Aslan is perfect for family events, wildlife themes and memorable photo opportunities.

Gary Starr Creative delivers striking walkabout entertainment and eye-catching installations designed to transform events, attract attention and keep audiences engaged. From roaming characters to large-scale visual centrepieces, our work is created to stop people in their tracks and elevate the overall guest experience.
Our walkabout acts are performer led, character driven and tailored to suit the tone of your event. Whether it’s light-hearted family interaction, theatrical atmosphere or high-impact spectacle, we ensure every act feels purposeful and well integrated into the wider event.
Alongside walkabout entertainment, we design and supply installations that act as focal points, photo opportunities and storytelling features within an event space.
Walkabout acts and installations include
• Character walkabouts, including pirates, wizards and fantasy figures
• Stilt walking performers and large-scale characters
• An 8-foot lion walkabout character
• Fire performers and visual fire acts
• Animal-themed walkabouts
• Death on a Piano, a striking theatrical installation and performance piece
• Interactive roaming characters for seasonal events
• Visual installations and themed set pieces
These elements can be booked individually or combined as part of a fully managed event. We regularly integrate walkabouts and installations into larger programmes, including Halloween events, Christmas activations, summer festivals and promotional days.
Fully managed or plug-in support
We offer full event management alongside our walkabout and installation work, handling scheduling, performer coordination, on-site management and liaison with venues and organisers. For clients who already have an event structure in place, we can also provide specific acts or installations as standalone additions.
Every booking is approached with safety, professionalism and audience experience at the forefront. Risk assessments, planning and practical delivery are handled clearly and efficiently, ensuring smooth operation on the day.
If you’re looking to add movement, atmosphere and visual impact to your event, our walkabout entertainment and installations offer flexible options that can be scaled to suit any space or audience.
