The Deluxe Santa's Grotto is our walk-in inflatable Father Christmas grotto, printed as a snowy log cabin with the Santa's Grotto script above the doorway and a warm-lit interior, complete with lights and decorations. The whole thing inflates in under five minutes and packs away in under ten, so it fits round the rest of your event build without holding anything up.
We take it out through December to school class parties and fairs, office Christmas parties, promotional days and community events in Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster and Worksop, with nationwide coverage for larger bookings. Children and adults can both use it, and corporate clients often run it as a photo box instead of a meet-Santa queue.
You'll need a clear 13ft x 14ft patch with 11ft of headroom. It sits happily indoors on artificial grass or hard floors and outdoors on grass, but it can't be sited outdoors on concrete, wood chip or ground that mixes the two, so check your surface before booking.
The red velvet throne chair in some of the gallery photos is a separate extra rather than part of the set, though it does fit inside the door and books alongside any of our grottos - see Throne Chair Hire. For staff parties, plenty of clients put our Rodeo Reindeer alongside it too. As Rachel said after her works do: "Everyone enjoyed having a go on the Rodeo Reindeer at our staff Xmas party." And after a children's party grotto hire, Jade told us "everyone loved it".
Every hire includes £5 million public liability cover, we email the risk assessment to your venue before the day, and trained staff can supervise the grotto for you if you'd rather not assign your own people. Everything comes off our own fleet from the warehouse near Sheffield, so what turns up is the kit we photographed.
December weekends go first and the grottos are usually booked out by October, so it's worth picking your date early. Hit the green button to add the Deluxe Grotto to your quote and we'll get back to you the same day.
