The proper look

The Enchanted Christmas

Santa's grotto, stretched into a 90-minute festive adventure

Forget queuing for forty minutes to spend four with Santa. The Enchanted Christmas is the family grotto experience we created and produced in Dunstable, and it turns a visit to Father Christmas into a proper adventure.

Families are led by our elves through a series of rooms, each with something different going on. They decorate gingerbread in Sparkle's Kitchen, mix up a batch at the Reindeer Food Factory, belt out a sing-along show, survive a snowball fight, make something frosty for the Ice Kingdom and write their letter to Santa. Then, at the end of it all, they meet the big man himself.

It runs for around 80 to 90 minutes, it's actor-led from start to finish, and every child goes home with a photo with Santa, a present and a bag full of crafts. Simon the Snowman may also make an appearance. He's very friendly. Slightly damp.

Everything is freestanding: set, props, décor, the lot. That means we can build it into an empty shop unit, a hall or a spare corner of your venue without touching the walls, then pack it all back up in January as if the elves were never there.

We ran it at Grove House on Dunstable High Street, then in The Quadrant shopping centre, with sessions throughout December plus quieter autism-friendly and SEN sessions.

If you look after a shopping centre, town centre, venue or attraction and fancy a grotto that people actually talk about, get in touch and we'll talk you through what's possible.

Ideal for Shopping centres, town centres, councils, venues, visitor attractions.
