Hot Pickle Giant Magnum ice creams
We were asked to make 2 giant props for some new Magnum ice creams that were coming onto the market.
We love helping our clients create giant props for creative campaigns that just make people stop what they’re doing for a moment.
Our experience has made us one of the go to workshops in creating attention grabbing giant props for a variety of events such as; theatre productions, art installations and promotional campaigns. Giant props create an immediate impact in any given setting.
Our giant props have been used to promote movies, to introduce a new brand or product, as point of sale prop, to raise buyer awareness in a retail setting, to promote a new ride at Alton Towers and as part of an art installation at Tate Modern.
To carry out this type of prop making we typically carve in polystyrene due to its lightweight properties. To make the giant props durable we then coat them with polyurethane hard coat or fibreglass. If multiple and exact copies of the giant props are required we can mould and cast them for you. We design our giant props to be easily assembled, disassembled and easily transportable.
As with all giant props, the huge presence really gives a boost to your brand, product or promotion. Some of our past giant prop work has been seen at The Boat Show where we created a giant magic tap with free flowing water magically suspended in mid air, giant prop cartoon characters, giant trees, giant t-shirts, various giant retail display props for Ralph Lauren seasonal campaigns and a giant dart prop for William Hill World Darts Championship.

I needed a 2.4 metre giant banana prop making in a hurry, to add complexity, this wasn’t just a visual prop, members of the public would be posing with it as a photo op. Days later, the team were installing on site. Spur are my go to guys!

One of our clients wanted a giant arrow prop for a Waitrose promotion. It had to look as though it had crashed into the ground in a busy shopping centre and had to be installed overnight. We designed the arrow to fit precisely in a particular spot and to match the surrounding area so that it looked as though it had crashed and disrupted the paving slabs.
The World Darts Championship 2024 being hosted in Cardiff, and Spur Creative were asked to make 3 giant dart sculptures, standing at 3.5 metres high, to be placed around 3 sites in the City Centre.
For the second year in a row, Goodwood's Goodwoof event asked us to make another Snoopy for them. This time they wanted Snoopy Literary Ace on top of the Snoopy house we made and stored for them from last year.
Polar Black were tasked with decorating the Christmas tree at Somerset House for another year and asked us to make some giant golden bubble props to fit underneath it.
Another project for Goodwood, this time they wanted a crashed spaceship prop for their Goodwood Revival Festival.
Stagecraft asked us to make another giant prop. This time they wanted a giant 3 metre tall fibreglass Tanqueray gin bottle prop.
Goodwood called us and asked if we could make a 4.5 metre high Snoopy on his house for their first ever Goodwoof event.
