Sid the spider is a 15 metre tall inflatable puppet operated by 11 performers using cold air and 36 cubic metres of helium. It is based on the Sydney funnel web spider. It is a character in Grand Magix, large scale performance, and a walkabout or parade performance in its own right. Sid has appeared in Grand Magix at Terasson in France and Camden in London, and many other places. Sid is the newest and most ambitious of our giant puppets.
