Booking A Costume Character In the North West

Everything You Need To Know

Costume Characters in the North West 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 the North West 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 an artist within your budget, so please give us a call if you can't find what you're looking for.

Alive Network represents Costume Characters throughout the North West, with acts available for events in Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Liverpool, Merseyside.

On the rare occasion that we don't have an artist based within your area, we will always have artists in the neighbouring regions willing to travel.

To see our most local artists, enter a search using your event date and location, then use the 'nearest me' sort option.

Aside from representing some of the best Costume Characters in the UK, one of the main reasons to hire a Costume Character with Alive Network is security.
