How do I hire Fireman Sam?

Mummy_Jo

Hi

I'm hoping that you can help me out here. A few of us are organising a summer fete for our local church and thought that if we could get fireman sam to visit complete with the local fire engine it would be a real crowd puller and get people through the doors. Only problem is I have no idea how to do this and would appreciate some pointers in the right direction.

I've searched the internet and come up with zero.

Could we hire a costume and do it ourselves or would we be infringing some copyright law or something?

All help gratefully received.

could you ask your local fire brigade to have a table with fire safety stuff and bring along a fire engine too - they are usually on call but will usually attend at some point - i am sure you could hire a costume locally to go alongside

Take a trip to the local fire station and knock on the door. They're always very happy to get visitors.

Thanks

Was going to ask the local retained fire fighter if they would come but its Fireman Sam himself I am struggling with. Are there companies out there who hire out this kind of thing?

Hi thanks for the replies. I took my son to see him last year and the person actually looked like him see link below from a different event I found on google

I can't work out how you get the whole outfit including the mask!

You could contact S4C www.s4c.co.uk and HIT Entertainment as they are the copyright holders of the Fireman Sam brand

Hope it helps
