Steve Sheldon and Charity Hill’s creative vision centres on providing “epic” experiences that capture the imagination and create lasting memories. Their events are often interactive, encouraging guests to participate actively and explore their surroundings rather than simply observing. This approach has helped Epic Entertainment Group stand out in the crowded live event space, especially as demand for experiential and Instagram-worthy events has grown.
Speaking to blooloop in 2023, the pair said authenticity is key to a successful event. Sheldon said this is where story comes into play: “We tend to start with story and dive into that. We love to create those more intimate experiences or micro experiences. Diving into more detail, providing opportunities for people to further engage beyond that surface level if they choose to, is where we have found our sweet spot.”
