A fascinating and entertaining evening with Steve Allen helping to raise funds and awareness ​for Parkinson’s UK

Steve Allen (facebook.com/steveallencreative) has enjoyed over 40 years working in the wider creative industry.

At the age of 16, Steve started out as a soft toy designer for Canterbury-based Pedigree Dolls & Toys, before being spotted by The Jim Henson Company while he was developing plush merchandise for the TV series “Fraggle Rock.”

What followed was a job at the famous Jim Henson Creature Shop in London, making prototype puppets for the film “Labyrinth”, plus designing new characters and Muppet merchandise.

By the time Steve was 22, he had started his own freelance business, producing puppets, effects models, props and movie toys for a wide choice of companies such as The BBC, Hornby, 20th Century Fox and TedEd. He has even built illusions for members of The Magic Circle.

Steve now lives in the Cotswolds and still retains his sanity.

Tonight’s talk is a charitable fundraiser, helping to raise awareness and support for Parkinson’s UK. Around 153,000 people live with Parkinson’s in the UK, and it’s the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. Parkinson’s UK funds research into the most promising treatments and fights for fair treatment and better services for everyone affected by the condition.
