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.

Frequently asked questions
Do venues around Shaftesbury have rules for performers?
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 Shaftesbury?
There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Travel is part of the quote, and Shaftesbury is 95 miles west of central London. Send us your date and venue for free, no-obligation options.
Which postcodes around Shaftesbury do you cover?
All of SP7 and SP8, including Dorset, Fontmell Magna, Motcombe, Gillingham, Bourton and Kington Magna, plus the rest of Dorset and nearby Sturminster Newton, Blandford Forum, Tisbury and Wincanton.
How far ahead should we book Christmas party entertainment?
Ideally by the summer. Early December weekends are the first to go, and midweek dates give you more choice of acts.
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.
Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?
Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
Do you work with our venue and event team?
Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
