About this event

You scored big time by securing Santa as your celebrity guest speaker! He has ventured from the North Pole to share his insights  about the trials and tribulations of running the global enterprise of Christmas. He has brought with him his key personal aides, Santa’s Elves. These are the people who are crucial to Santa’s empire and the people who make a success of running such a challenging event as a worldwide Christmas.

Your team will enjoy the wine and beer, the food and the ambience of the occasion until that time when your Christmas celebrations take a turn and the announcement is made: "Ladies and gentlemen, Santa has been slain…nobody must leave the room".

The event is driven by the key suspects - Santa’s Elves - as they employ their magic to bamboozle the crowd. Each of them has a motive for murder but an alibi as solid as a well-wrapped present! 

To get to the bottom of this tragedy, you must interview the suspects, study the clues and separate the truth from the lies.  

Santa’s been Slain has something for everyone: intrigue, humour, entertainment, interaction and a suspense filled climax with a surprising twist!

Delivered by our specialist team of 3 seasoned professional actors, this event has a real focus on entertainment and humour. It can take place before, during or after a meal or as a standalone event. 

It is a portable show. We can present it in virtually any private venue.
