Durham Costume Characters

How much do Durham Costume Characters cost?

Costume Characters in Durham cost from £213 to £6208. The average price in 2025 was £645. Prices vary depending on experience, demand, size of act, travel costs and the specs of the equipment provided. Artists travelling into Durham from further away will usually charge more than a local act due to travel time and fuel costs.

We will always do our best to help you find Costume Characters within your budget, so please give us a call if you can't find what you're looking for.
