We designed, fabricated and installed a 10-metre-tall, fully themed Bavarian supergate for Winter Wonderland, complete with mechanical moving elements, intricate scenic detailing, and more golden baubles than you could shake a candy cane at.
Winter Wonderland came to us with one big ask: create a hero entrance gate that would become a showstopping arrival moment for millions of guests. It had to feel like a permanent structure, deliver a 360° experience, and include animated features that surprised and delighted, setting a new standard for Hyde Park’s festive entrance gates.
This was a true feat of festive engineering. We developed full technical drawings and renders, then brought Bavaria to Bow with full construction in our workshop. So what did we do? Constructed timber-framed buildings, scenic dressing, and created animated showpieces, including a spinning Ferris wheel, shooting stars, and a chiming cuckoo clock
Working closely with our partners, we engineered and integrated all mechanical and AV elements, conducted rigorous structural testing, and delivered to an exacting install schedule on a challenging live site. The result: a fully immersive gate that stood tall (and proud) through the season, seamlessly blending spectacle with precision fabrication.
