Christmas Experience Elf Doorstep & Garden Visits

**Sorry - We will not be offering this in 2021**

But we are doing a one off show on Saturday 27th November, see details below:

Join The Elf Team on Saturday 27th November for an evening of magic, juggling, games, elf silliness and some festive cheer! At the Barrington Theatre, Ferndown.
Tickets for The Elf Team Family Christmas Show & Award Ceremony are available now at the link below.
There’s also a FREE fun online questionnaire and test you can take with your children at the same link to check your home is safe for Santa.
We can’t offer visits this year due to Elf Kev starring in Panto (oh yes he is!) and Elf Phil expecting a new arrival in December, but we still wanted to offer some Elf silliness and we’d love you to start your festive season with us with our fun family show.
Thanks again for everyone support!

The Elf Team sent in by Father Christmas himself - Covering Poole, Bournemouth, and the surrounding areas of Dorset
Christmas has been saved. Book a doorstep Christmas experience visit from our Elves Jamie, Kevin & Phil. We'll undertake a full 'Elf & Safety' check! All visits include magic, music, comedy & more! Plus letter for each child to say your home has passed ready for Father Christmas.
Following the closure of many Father Christmas events and grottos at Stewarts Garden Centre, Honeybrook Farm and reduction in numbers at Upton Country Park, this is a great way to book a Christmas grotto alternative experience for your children.

Prior To Your Visit - Christmas Experience

We'll soon open our online booking system where you can see what areas across Dorset we'll be in on selected dates. You will then be able to select your date and time slot between either 9am - 1pm, or between 1pm - 4:30pm. Nearer the time we will contact you to provide a more definite 1 hour time slot so you know when to expect us.

On the booking form you will have the opportunity to fill in a few details meaning your booking is unique and will have a very magical touch!

The Elves

Kevin - Head Magic Elf

Jamie - Juggler Elf

Phil - Elf & Safety Manager

Each Elf has a different job in the North Pole and this will be visible during your home appearance! We’ve worked hard to ensure that we are unique, believable and as magical as possible! The Elves are Full Time Professional Entertainers for the rest of the year so you are assured of great personality and the ability to capture children's imagination.

Your visit will include at least 2 elves, sometimes you'll even see 3 elves. Our elf uniforms are authentic and fun.

The Visit - Christmas Grotto Experience just without Santa

We'll arrive with Festive music playing and plenty of Christmas spirit. We'll bring a Letter from Santa, a Sign to confirm your home is 'Santa Safe' ready for the big day. During the visit there will be plenty of silly antics, comedy routines, plus the elves are sure to have a few fun tricks and magic up their sleeves.

We’d advise getting all the family to watch as it really brings the child out in all family members!

Social Distancing and Covid-19 Safe regulations and procedures will be followed at all times.

  • If any members of your household are thought to have or self isolating due to Coronavirus we cannot undertake the visit. We will try to accommodate a date/time change if suitable.
  • Please ensure we have adequate space to park our van, ideally on the driveway or in front of your home. If this is not possible please let us know on your booking form.
  • Payment must be made in full when making your booking. Unfortunately we cannot offer any refunds.
  • Visits must take place on Private Land, i.e. your home address. Other locations may be available on request, but may be subject to an additional charge.
  • Social Distancing is key. Children must stay inside your home and not come into your garden or driveway throughout the visit. We want to ensure a non contact safe doorstep visit to protect you and us.
  • Weather - in the event of very bad weather such as strong winds and heavy rain we may have to reschedule your visit to another suitable date. If a suitable date and time cannot be arranged we will refund you in full.

  • Gifts supplied may be subject to change.
  • Your visit will include a minimum of 2 Elves, but sometimes 3 Elves. If parking is an issue at your home its very likely the number Elves at your visit will be reduced.

Visit Procedure:

We want to reassure our customers that we are taking every precaution to maintain a hygienic and safe environment.

Garden Visits - Please ensure your garden is clear of any dog mess. Feel free to leave fun items such as footballs, slides, frisbees, scooters etc in the back garden. The Naughty Elves will use these items to be very silly in front of the children (we'll do this very carefully and will not cause any damage)

Doorstep/Driveway Visits - Please ensure your doorstep/driveway is as clear as possible. Move vehicles out of the driveway if possible to allow the Elves space to undertake their silly antics. Move plant pots and any breakable items away form the door step if possible. All this will help the Elves undertake their 'Elf & Safety' check and allow you to view the antics more effectively.

  • Around 3 - 7 days before your visit date you'll receive a call or text to confirm your 1 hour time slot
  • On your visit date please make sure the children are in position ready for the visit. If its a surprise try to think of a clever way to ensure the children are at or near the window/door ready for the arrival.
  • On arrival we will park our 'Elf Team' van outside your property on on your driveway if possible.
  • We'll make a bit of a noise when we arrive. Festive music will be playing and we also use our fun horns to alert you of our arrival.
  • Get yourselves at the windows or doorstep ready to witness the craziness unfold. Please may we remind you No children or Adults in the garden/driveway throughout the visit.

  • Once the Elves have undertaken some silliness in the garden/driveway we'll knock your door and thats when you can open the door ready for some Festive Tricks and Elf Magic. But please stay inside your home.

  • Towards the end of the visit you'll receive your Gifts and then Santas elves will say a big good bye
