Inspired by the famous cowboy character, the act brings the excitement of Toy Story-themed entertainment to live events through an engaging and recognisable appearance. Woody is available for children’s festivals, shopping centres, retail activations, themed attractions, corporate family events and promotional campaigns across the UK.
Ryan has developed a career specialising in immersive character performance for events, festivals, PR campaigns, media launches and experiential marketing.
