I don’t know if you know, but filling the stockings of every child in the world in just one night is a HUMONGOUS undertaking. It requires planning, team work, dedication and - of course - a sprinkling of Christmas magic. These last few years Santa has taken to recce-ing ahead of the big drop to help Christmas Eve run as smoothly as possible. He brings with him Sven the reindeer handler, his excitable and talented Snow Elf.
Together, they’re hoping to shave valuable seconds off their busy Christmas Eve schedule by gathering crucial stocking location and roof landing intel ahead of time. Are you up to the challenge of helping our festive heroes with their quest? Get a peek into their enchanting world, see Sven play with his favourite snow elf circus toys, enjoy a Q&A with Santa and more. They’ll also answer the big questions of the Santa story and show glimpses of their Christmas magic. Come and see why they’ve been selling out venues from Tobacco Factory Theatres to Soho House and beyond! Guaranteed to bring a sense of fun, mischief and anticipation to all.
This December, step into a world of festive mischief and unexpected magic!
Alongside Santa & Sven we’re offering a sleigh-full of festive wraparound activities to keep the Christmas cheer going:
The Curious Christmas Mission Trail – a merry mission through the building, full of clues and surprises
Little Helper Workshop – get hands-on and crafty like a true North Pole elf#
Room of Wonder & Whimsy – an immersive play session where imagination takes the reins
