Christmas entertainment hire in Manchester: Santa's grottos, walk-in snow globes, reindeer racing, the Rodeo Reindeer, Christmas market stalls, photo booths and party games, delivered from our Rotherham warehouse about forty-five minutes away via the M62. Manchester is one of the Christmas capitals of the north, and this range is built for exactly that - markets, switch-ons and office parties - with grottos from £245 and rodeo rides from £395 with the operator included.
Christmas Entertainment for Manchester Events
We've been supplying Christmas parties in Manchester for years. A private party in Prestwich had the full night from us - the Rodeo Reindeer, Reindeer Racing, a dance machine, a selfie mirror and a basketball game - and a corporate booking at Airport City ran two reindeer racing formats with a dance machine alongside. Nationally, Amazon has booked us for staff Christmas parties year after year across their fulfilment sites, which is the level of repeat custom we bring to a city-centre booking.
Manchester's Christmas programme is market-shaped, and our Christmas market stalls, side stalls and catering carts fit straight into it. For shopping centres and brand activations, the Nutcracker Trail installs a trail of nutcracker figures across a whole site. Our photo booth hire in Manchester page covers the party-night booth side in more detail.
Our Christmas Attractions
A few of the things we can bring to a Manchester Christmas event. All prices are plus VAT, and a minimum spend may apply depending on your postcode.
Rodeo ReindeerFestive rodeo ride with our trained operator. From £395.
Santa's Grottos and Snow Globes
The Deluxe Santa's Grotto is our walk-in inflatable log cabin with lights included, up in under five minutes. It needs a 13ft x 14ft space with 11ft of headroom and works indoors on hard floors or artificial grass and outdoors on grass. It hires from £295, with the standard Santa's Grotto Hire from £245. The Giant Inflatable Snow Globe from £1,295 is the one Manchester-scale events go for - guests step right inside - with the selfie-pod globe from £895 as the compact version, plus the throne chair, Santa Sky Dancer and Nutcracker props to dress the queue.
Christmas Party Games and Rides
The December staples are the three reindeer racing formats - Reindeer Racing from £499, Bounce a Ball Reindeer Racing from £699 and Roll a Ball Reindeer Racing from £995 - plus Batak Snowball Smash and Whack a Snowman at £495 each. The Rodeo Reindeer and Rodeo Christmas Pudding both include a trained operator in the £395 hire. Rachel said after her works do: Everyone enjoyed having a go on the Rodeo Reindeer at our staff Xmas party. It all went smoothly, which is what you need when you're planning a party.
Christmas Markets and Light Switch-Ons
This is the section Manchester earns. We hire Christmas market stalls from £295 by themselves or as a run, with carnival side stalls from coconut shy to hoopla and the fun food range - candy floss, popcorn, pick and mix and the honey roasted nut cart - to stock them. Dark afternoons need power and light: our festoon lighting, super-silent lighting towers and generators run sites without mains supply, and our crew sets it all up. Councils and city-centre teams get insurance, risk assessments and method statements before the day.

Do you deliver to Manchester?
Yes. Manchester is about forty-five minutes from our Rotherham warehouse via the M62, and we deliver Christmas events across Greater Manchester, from city-centre venues to sites out at the Airport City business park.
Can you supply a full Christmas market setup?
Yes. Stalls, side stalls, catering carts, power, lighting and staff can all come from us on one invoice, and we deliver and set it all up. That's the shape of the bigger council and shopping-centre jobs we run.
What space does a grotto or snow globe need?
The Deluxe Grotto needs a 13ft x 14ft floor area with 11ft of headroom, indoors on hard floors or artificial grass, or outdoors on grass. The snow globe needs its own clear space - we'll go through your site plan with you before confirming.
How far ahead should we book?
December weekends go first and the grottos, globes and market stalls are usually gone by October. Manchester's Christmas programme starts early, so the sooner the better for market and switch-on slots.
