What a fantastic event! Really well organised and COVID safe. Excellent value for money - our kids had a whale of a time. Skip and Holly were excellent (but Eclair smelt of brussel sprouts!) Quality and plentiful gifts for the kids. Well done guys.

A fantastic time had by us all. Sparkle and Sprout were brilliant and very entertaining and interacted with the kids really well. All the staff worked really hard and made it thoroughly enjoyable. The presents from Santa were great and nice to receive a few. Very good value for money and would come again.

Only criticism was that it had to end. See you next year …
