Tour Management
We are on a mission to transform how creative talents from around the world tour the U.K. By bringing together a vibrant community of artists, authors, actors, writers, dancers, choreographers, make-up artists, photographers, stylists, fashion designers, and graphic designers, we’re creating unforgettable experiences that captivate audiences and leave a lasting impact.
Our approach puts the power back in the hands of the creatives, allowing them to shape their own tours without the limitations imposed by third-party organizations or promoters. We collaborate directly with these visionary talents to craft tours that perfectly align with their unique brand and artistic spirit, providing maximum flexibility to experiment, engage, and inspire.
Imagine a tour where a celebrated dancer shares the stage with an innovative choreographer, an acclaimed author reads alongside an avant-garde fashion show, or a makeup artist and photographer collaborate to capture mesmerizing moments in real-time. With us, the possibilities are limitless.
This is more than just a tour – it’s a dynamic platform for creatives to unleash their potential, break boundaries, and connect with audiences in bold, new ways. Together, we’re re-imagining the U.K. touring experience, turning it into a living canvas where creativity thrives and every moment is a masterpiece in the making.

Certificate of Sponsorship & U.K Visa
In order to undertake activities as an artist or entertainer in the UK, you will normally need to obtain a visa under one of the tiers of the points-based system. The points-based system has special categories and rules for those in the creative and entertainment industries. In most categories you will need to be sponsored by an employer. However, if you are going to be in the UK briefly, or for a single event or activity, one of the visitor visa categories may be more appropriate.
The main immigration routes available to artists and entertainers are:
Visit (Standard) – Business Creative
Permitted Paid Engagement
Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent)
Tier 2 (General)
Tier 5 (Temporary Worker – Creative)
Many of our clients use us as a ‘one-stop-shop’ when it comes to their passport and visa needs as we simply take the stress out of the process. Entertainment travel can be a complicated undertaking, and if done incorrectly can restrict future travel plans, and thus impact on a career overseas. Our team can assist you with acquiring a certificate of sponsorship and completing your visa process.
