Meet Father Christmas
The one from the storybooks
The rest of the year he works on stage, so he knows how to make a moment magical: a big “Ho ho ho!” at the door, a proper listen to every Christmas wish, and a quiet word for the little one hiding behind a parent’s leg.
He is unhurried, warm and never rushes a child, whether it’s the first visitor of the day or the three-hundredth.

Add-on
Santa’s elves
An elf greets families, keeps the queue moving, takes photos on your own phone and makes sure the right present reaches the right child, so Father Christmas can give every child his full attention. Elves are charged at half the Santa rate.
