We installed our inflatable Pudsey bear again today at the BBC in Cardiff, who will be on show for the next couple of weeks to bring awareness to this great cause.  

We produced and worked to specific technical drawings which we made from a very short brief but in the spirit of it all we pushed it hard to serve the veterans memory.This was installed by the Imagine crew who got to Dover at 6.15am to board the MV Boudicca. We had a three hour window to fit the cover to the swimming pool area of the ship and this involved us cutting by hand a bespoke fitted cover around the step and ladders of the pool to ensure it was the right fit. The cover wa....

We install this giant inflatable sports arch for Crazy Hats every year. One of the many inflatable that we have manufactured for charitable organisations. We will always try to give preferential rates and discounts to charities.

We have sold a lot of sports arches this year, and there have been so many sporting events in 2014 big and small. This White Inflatable Arch was designed and manufactured by Imagine for a charity sporting event. It looks really fresh in White and worked really well in the race that raised money for the heart and lung disease charity.

Bang Bang Sticks are a great promotional item. They pack down really small, are great value for money and you can fit alot of information on them! The latest ones we have done are for The Queen Elizabeths Foundation,a leading disability charity working with people with physical andlearning disabilities or acquired brain injuries to help them gain newskills and increase independence for life. The bang bang sticks are pantone matched with the logo and strap line on one side, and their website on t....

So this weekend Team Imagine Inflatables took on the challange that is Tough Mudder. We decided to register for the Midlands event earlier in the year and use it as a team building exercise outside of our usual work enviroment. Our team of 6 was made up of Dominic and Louise - the owners of Imagine, Jenny and Rebecca - project managers, Kristie - our artist and Joe our event operator. Our ages range from 23 - 42 with all different fitness levels. The course was 12 miles long with 26 obsticals in....

Over the past few weeks Imagine have had many orders of bang bang sticks. Many of these were done for charities to use at the London Marathon. They are a great way to get the crowd going at large public events.Our bang bang sticks have a 2 week turnaround and the minimum order is 500 pairs.

Imagine were asked to create 4 space hoppers to look like giant maltesers. They would be used by girlband the Saturdays to have a race on Westminister Bridge.We created the spacehoppers by handpainting over 4 85cm space hoppers we had already produced. The logo was then applied over the front and back of the hopper.Maltesers were an official partner of this years red nose day so were used to promote doing something fun to raise money for the charity.

On the 6th September Imagine installed a giant inflatable arch that had been custom made for a 5k fun run.The Jones Lang LaSalle Property fun run was in co-ordination with LGN and all money raised at the event in Regents Park was donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. The double leg arch was 8m x 5m in size and has removable branding so that it can be used for future events.

Imagine were asked to produce a 6ft in length green pig. The pig was produced for PGRO (Processors and Growers Research Organisation) a registered charity to help promote getting a better quality meat by using peas in animal feed.

Imagine were asked to create an 8m x 5m inflatable arch for the Dallaglio Flintoff Cycle Slam.Between April 23rd and May 18th Lawrence and Freddie will cycle 2,872km across Europe from Olympia in Greece (the birth place of the Olympic Games) to London - the venue for this years Olympics.The cycle will raise funds for Cancer Research UK and Great Ormond Street Hospital.The arch had various banners showing the sponsors of the event along with a red removable banner on the top right hand side.....

BBC Wales were keen to have a giant inflatable Pudsey bear to highlight their Children In Need campaign again this year. So they were keen to have the large character outside of TV Centre for a prolonged period. Imagines team of operators installed Pudsey on the 8th November and he stayed in place until being dismantled 13 days later! This was a testament to the robust nature of the inflatable and durability of the fan which kept going '24/7'!!..The giant inflatable soon became a popular lo....

After a long spell 'on duty' outside the BBC TV Centre in Wales, a giant inflatable Pudsey bear was brought back to Imagines' new base at Lutterworth - for a rest!!..Having been kept inflated for over 13 days and enduring the rigours of winter weather, he needed a wash & brush up to restore him before being put into storage.'The Yard' is proving a very useful asset for Imagine and allows for the inflation, checking and cleaning of larger units!..  

Imagine have recently been producing various point of sale items including kites, bang bang sticks and pop up banners. These are diamond kites produced for Amnesty International as part of Freshers week. We can produce various sizes and shapes including small pocket kites which are great for giveaways. These Bang Bang sticks were produced for the bone cancer research trust. Noise is created when the two sticks are inflated and struck together. They are being more commonly used at sporting events....

The BBC were keen to have a giant inflatable Pudsey bear character to highlight the 'Children In Need event again this year. A more challenging task for the Imagine operators this year, as he was required 'up on the roof' of the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff!!..As darkness fell, he looked even more impressive, being floodlit + with coloured spotlights playing across him!! This helped to draw the crowds and swell the 'bucket takings' for the cause!!..

Well who would have thought!!.. A giant inflatable Elvis character, complete with moustache - was the star of the show,.. making an appearance at this years' 'Movember' event at the impressive 'Evolution' venue in Battersea park. As well as raising vital funds, this raises the profile of mens health issues!.. The moustache theme has really caught on and those attending, go to great lengths to grow an impressive 'mo' to outdo other partygoers!! (generally only the men though!!..)Obvious....

As the preferred supplier to the BBC, Imagine Inflatables were called on again to supply an impressive inflatable Pudsey as a focal point for this years' Children In Need event. The giant inflatable bear looked splendid outside the Millennium Centre where the live broadcast was being held. He proved the star of the show, as visitors to the event including celebrities together with the passing public were queuing  to have their photo taken next to the giant inflatable character!!..

Once more the BBC called on Imagine Inflatables to provide a giant inflatable Pudsey Bear as a focal point for the Children In Need Night. With the studio set up at the Millennium Centre, Cardiff the event was hosted by John Barrowman and featured acts such as the Stereophonics. The audience could not fail but be impressed by the 27 feet high inflatable Pudsey Bear that greeted them!!

Imagine has created another Giant Inflatable Pudsey Bear for this years' BBC Children In need Event.Pudsey was accompanied by experienced operators from Imagine Inflatables on a grand tour around Wales. Co-ordinating with staff from BBC Wales, Pudsey met up with an outside broadcast team at various locations strectching from Anglesey to Newport and Conwy to Swansea. So during the week leading up to Children In Need night, the huge air filled Pudsey helped spread the important mess....
