🌟 TPE 2026 EXHIBITOR ANNOUNCEMENT 🌟

We’re thrilled to welcome Pigs Might Fly / to ! 🎉

“Pigs Might Fly theatrical washable blood was first created by the award-winning motion picture industry veteran, Nick Dudman, who found that in the course of his work he would regularly be asked by Special Effects teams to provide them with realistic fake blood. The washability of this “blood” was the key to its success - Pigs Might Fly Blood has long been the choice of Wardrobe, Wigs, and Props teams due to the ease of cleaning away from fabric and furnishings.

For the last 14 years the blood has been manufactured exclusively and distributed worldwide by Ant Davies of ‘Pigs Might Fly South’ - from crime thrillers to hospital dramas, it gets everywhere.

Pigs Might Fly blood is regularly seen on the stage and screen: from blockbuster movies to major TV series; from London’s West End to Broadway and beyond; in fact, it is used worldwide by some of the industry’s biggest names and on some of the world’s most famous actors – Nicole Scherzinger in Sunset Boulevard; Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool; Dwayne Johnson in Hercules; Charlize Theron in The Old Guard; the list goes on. 4,500 litres were used in a theatre production by The Royal Shakespeare Company alone.

Furthermore, the Pigs Might Fly South blood range remains the only artificial theatrical blood in the world that has been certified as being suitable for vegans and proudly carries the Vegan Society Trademark logo. And of course, it’s fully compliant with UK, EU, and US Cosmetic Regulations.”
