ABC Inflatables absolutely owned the Lord Mayor’s Show in 2017! This year’s event took place on 11th November, Armistice Day. And ABC produced all the inflatables that featured in the parade. How cool is that?! It was exciting to make new parade inflatables for the London Freemasons. We also made parade inflatables for the Chartered Accountants Company and the Taiwanese …
ABC is preferred manufacturer of Inflatable Beanstalks!
We have never made so many inflatable beanstalks! During October we made three for Jack and the Beanstalk pantomimes – one for Covent Garden, one for The Lyric in Hammersmith and one for a theatre in Newcastle on Tyne. As you can see the inflatable beanstalks are really big, varying in size from 20 feet high to nearly 40 wide! We …

Exhibition spheres for Glazpart
Glazpart have just ordered another one of our helium-filled exhibition spheres. We have a long standing working relationship with them. They are our near neighbours here in Banbury.

And what’s more we don’t …
Creative Custom Inflatables – a Giant Wall and an Ice Mountain!

Both inflatables were incredibly imaginative and, because of their size, both demanded a lot of workshop space to build them. It was an enjoyable challenge for us to use some ABC creative magic to bring each customers’ vision to life. …
