Booking A Costume Character In the South East

Everything You Need To Know

Costume Characters in the South East 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 South East 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 South East, with acts available for events in Berkshire, Brighton, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Essex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, London, Oxfordshire, Southampton, Surrey, West Sussex.

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.
