What is in a Christmas package?
Christmas is the biggest night of the year for many teams. Festive acts make it feel like an occasion: LED and gold nutcrackers at the door, festive living statues, champagne walkers and stilt walkers.
Combine Christmas with another theme (Christmas in Paris, a Gatsby Christmas or a Winter Wonderland) for something different from last year.

Can you work with our venue's Christmas package?
Yes. Most venues welcome entertainment. We agree access, timings and space with the venue before the day.
How far ahead should we book?
