What can Santa and his elves do at an event?

A professional Santa with a real or quality beard and full costume can greet families, host a grotto, hand out gifts or make a grand entrance at a Christmas party. Elves help run the queue, keep children entertained and add to the festive feel.

Christmas characters work at staff family days, garden centres, shopping centres, hotels and venue grottos, as well as adult office parties where Santa can make a cheeky appearance. We can help you plan the grotto set, the queue and the gift handout.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Prepare the gifts

    Label gifts by age or name and agree who hands them over, so nothing slows down Santa.

  2. 2

    Plan the grotto flow

    A clear queue, a welcoming elf and a photo spot keep a grotto calm and happy.

  3. 3

    Ask about checks

    If children will attend, ask us about DBS checks and we will confirm what each performer holds.
