Christmas is the most magical time of year, our grotto just makes it feel that bit more special. With opening and closing door for privacy you can meet Santa and tell him all your wishes in private. The grotto comes with lights and speaker for all the Christmas music, to get the children even more excited. Whilst waiting to meet him you can do this in style on the red carpet.
The grotto comes kitted out with seating (We provide 4 red festive seat covers to fit most chairs), Santa sacks, red carpet with que ropes and also a speaker with lights.
Everyone loves snow, especially over the Christmas season. It creates a great party atmosphere with lots of laughs. Great add on to our Party Lights.
Snow machine will be set up full with fluid (1 ltr bottle provided), and comes with a stand to help position where is best for the snow to flow.
We can also provide Sweet Bags x20for Santa to give out (if ordering a bulk amount we can do this at a discount price). All you need to do is provide the Santa.
We cover Nottingham and derby.
