Felixstowe Suffolks Local Santa

04/11/2026

With just a month to go before the season kicks off this is my availability, there are a few dates that haven't been confirmed but will update as we go through. For little ones I'm available during the school day unless stated on here (usually half days with the nursery or school so please ask if you need that day. The sun and moon is just a note for me with my elfs availability.

I would like to take a moment to share with you all how I started this little thing.

Back in 2020 during the lockdowns and covid I was fortunate to have a father that was a taxi driver, this meant that we was allowed to take passengers in his then modified car (perspex between the front and back seats). He had the idea to make it special for all his grandchildren in this time of doom and gloom and ask me to don my suit I had bought a few years previous for the 2st christmas of my own son Charlie, I did and we drove to all or my brothers and sisters houses to spread a bit of cheer and give out presents. While we remained social distanced at the gates of gardens and couldnt come close we were spotted by other kids on the estates so I gave them waves and wished them a merry christmas which was greeted with thabks from the parents. From this I went on to fill in at my boys nursery when they held their christmas party and their santa wasn't very well and the kids had so mych fun I was invited back and ive done that nursery for the last 5 years and will be there again this year. When my boy left and went to primary school I had a bit more free time so I offered my services to a few more local nursery's and the Pushchair pitstop who have grown year on year with it starting as a few hours and extending to many hours and another morning. I have been back doing them all of them regularly for the past 3 years and spread to being the regular santa for the Grosvenor here in felixstowe. I have also had the pleasure and privilege to be invited to attend some of our local SEN children which has always brought both them and myself so much joy. This year I'm hoping to expand on my peraonal visits to people's homes as that 1 in 1 time is very special. I have also offered a visit to my front garden each year for those that either can't get to see a santa or cant afford to visit one in a grotto, I hope this year I can build a little open front grotto of my own in the corner of my garden but thats very much in the hands of mrs Clause

It always makes me so happy when previous visits book me again year after year and I get to hear all about how their kids loved the visit and talked about it for days after. Please if you had a visit and enjoyed it share in here and tell your friends about it and let them have something a little different. I have been booked again for a group of houses together so I can see all the neighbours kids too.

Adding more and more appearances all the time at the moment, I'm now booked for the Moreland school in Ipswich and with a few checks I may be attending a care home or two.

It's starting to get a bit more christmasy with the new suit and boots arriving, I may need some padding this year as I've done well to lose some weight but a few mince pies should fix that 😉

This is amazing and while I'll be busy delivering presents to all the good boys and girls this deserves a mention

Good morning everyone, my new suit is arriving today so I can be nice and fresh for all my visits to see the kids both big and small. Will show it off once the boots arrive all the way from my elfs in America.

Looking forward to seeing as many of you as I can when I visit the Conservative club
