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.

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.
How much do Christmas themed entertainment cost in Darlington?

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?
As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
