THE JOURNEY
From Butlin’s to the Lake District
My life in entertainment started where the magic often begins, at Butlin’s Skegness. It was there I learned the true craft of performance and the simple joy of making people smile. Now, this is about Summit Events Cumbria bringing all this together.
From there, the road took me to the world-renowned Moscow State Circus and stages at Mount Stewart. For over 20 years, I've transitioned from being in front of the curtain to mastering everything behind it—from sound and lighting to complex production management. Today, I bring that entire lifetime of experience to help Lake District families and businesses create events that aren't just planned, but truly lived.
