Amazing
Dav was amazing. I contacted Dav for a corporate event and he made the whole process so easy and was extremely responsive and managed to adapt to anything we needed for the event. I would absolutely recommend using Dav and party central to anyone!

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.
Where it works best

Santa and elves for a proper grotto experience.
Staff family days
Gifts and photos for employees' children.

Tips from our team
- 1
Plan the grotto flow
A clear queue, a welcoming elf and a photo spot keep a grotto calm and happy.
- 2
Prepare the gifts
Label gifts by age or name and agree who hands them over, so nothing slows down Santa.
- 3
Ask about checks
If children will attend, ask us about DBS checks and we will confirm what each performer holds.
