Welcome to Santa's Magic

Many organizations book up to a year in advance, so the earlier the better! However, I'm also happy to accommodate last-minute bookings if I'm available. I've even been able to step in at the last minute for Santas who became unavailable, so don't hesitate to reach out regardless of timing.

I primarily serve Yorkshire and the North East, bringing Christmas magic to communities throughout the region.

Travel costs are usually included in the overall price for longer distances. I'm happy to provide a no-obligation quotation tailored to your specific location and requirements.

December is naturally the busiest time, especially as we get closer to Christmas Eve. I recommend booking early for peak dates to ensure availability.

Absolutely! Many organizations book their entire festive program in one go. I'm happy to work with you to create a comprehensive booking for all your Christmas events.

I'm very flexible to meet your needs! One-off events with storytelling, magic shows, and chatting with children typically range from 90 minutes to three hours. Grotto sessions can be all-day affairs. Every event is tailored to your requirements.

A variety of options are available including: traditional one-to-one grotto chats, meet-and-greet walkabouts, full magic shows performed as Santa (I have 30+ years of magic experience from close-up to theatre), Christmas story readings in character, and recitations of "Twas the Night Before Christmas". I'm open to other requests too!

Yes, I provide my own professional Santa costume and all necessary props for performances and magic shows.

Gifts should be provided by the organizer, allowing you to choose items appropriate for your specific group and budget.

Yes, absolutely! Photo opportunities are a wonderful part of the Santa experience and are always welcome.

£50 for the first hour, and £25 per hour thereafter. This flexible pricing structure ensures you only pay for the time you need.

No deposit is required for bookings.

I accept cash and bank transfer for your convenience.

I request as much notice as possible for cancellations so I can potentially offer the slot to others. I understand that circumstances change and will work with you to find the best solution.

Yes, I'm fully DBS certified with a current certificate that I bring with me to all events. Additionally, I worked as a teacher for 25 years, so I have extensive professional experience working with children.

Absolutely. I have experience working at children's hospices and with a wide range of special needs throughout my 25-year teaching career. I ensure every child receives appropriate, sensitive, and magical attention.

Yes! I have extensive experience with baby and toddler sessions. I've developed special tricks and methods for calming nervous, anxious, or crying children that have proved extremely successful. (You can see a parent's testimonial about this in the reviews section!)

I've performed for groups ranging from average class sizes of about 30 children, up to rooms of 60-70 people including young children, older children, and adults. The magic scales beautifully for different audience sizes!

No, I provide everything needed for the magic show. Just provide the space and the audience!

The show can be tailored to your needs, typically ranging from a quick 10-15 minute performance to a full 40-minute spectacular. We'll discuss the perfect length for your event.
