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.
Office Christmas parties

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.
Frequently asked questions
How much do santa and christmas characters cost in Salford?
Every booking is quoted individually, because the price of santa and christmas characters depends on availability, your date, location and travel, how long you need them and your exact requirements. Send us your date and venue and we will come back with clear options. Quotes are free with no obligation.
Can Santa hand out our gifts?
Yes. You supply the gifts and we agree the handout with Santa and the elves.
Is a grotto set included?
It depends on your booking. We can advise on the grotto layout or help source a set.
Can Santa appear at an adult party?
Yes. Santa can make an entrance, pose for photos and join in the fun, pitched to your audience.
Do venues around Salford have sound limits for dhol or music?
Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.
Which postcodes around Salford do you cover?
All of M5, M6, M17, M27, M28, M30, M32, M41 and M50, including Walkden, Worsley, Little Hulton, Swinton, Pendlebury and Clifton, plus the rest of Greater Manchester and nearby Cheetham Hill, Manchester, Bury and Stockport.
What time will the santa and christmas characters arrive, and how will they look?
They arrive smartly dressed and on time, usually 30 to 45 minutes before the performance, so they are ready the moment you need them. We share arrival times and a contact number with you before the day.
Are your santa and christmas characters vetted and insured?
Yes. Every partner is vetted by our team before they are listed. They hold public liability insurance and certificates, carry out risk assessments, and any electrical equipment they bring is PAT tested. Venues often ask for these documents and we can supply them.
How far in advance should I book santa and christmas characters?
For weddings and summer weekends, book as early as you can, ideally several months ahead, as the best dates go first. We can often help at short notice too, so it is always worth asking.
