ABOUT HAWTHORN & KENT
Strategic partners
to the people behind
exceptional experiences.
Fifteen years at the intersection of IP, technology and live entertainment — working alongside the studios, producers and venues defining the category.
WHAT WE DO
A small team of specialists, embedded with global IP.
Hawthorn & Kent is a UK-based consultancy and technology provider for live events, touring exhibitions and attractions. We combine strategic commercial thinking with an exclusive portfolio of purpose-built event technology — photo capture, fulfilment, experience software — and a delivery model built around long-term partnership.
We’re proud to work with Disney, Warner Bros, F1 Exhibitions, Friends, Minecraft, Tutankhamun and a portfolio of experiential venues across the UK, Europe and North America — and we keep our team deliberately compact so our partners always work with principals.

HOW WE OPERATE
Four principles we return to, every brief.
Experience-led
Every decision starts with the guest journey. Commercial outcomes follow from experiences worth talking about.
Brand-first
We operate as stewards of the IP in our care — considered, protective, and always on-brand.
Quietly technical
Our systems do heavy lifting behind the scenes so venue teams can focus on the guest in front of them.
Built to last
We partner for the long run — through launch, tour, renewal and the next project after this one.
THE TEAM
People you'll actually work with.
No account layers, no handoffs. Senior team stays on the project, from first call to final reconciliation.
