Ministry of Fun

Now in its 27th successful year, the world famous Ministry of Fun Santa School continues to be the UK’s longest running professional Santa training.

Expertly run by our MD Matt Grist and held at MYO Bankside, this year’s curriculum put inclusivity front and centre. Santa, the Elves and Mrs Clause were equipped with the skills to enable them to create joyful, welcoming and sensory-rich experiences for each and every child.

Under the watchful eyes of the World Press & Media, the trainees mastered the art of kindness, festive sign language, inclusive greetings and sensory engagement so every child feels welcome during their visit.

This year, scent played a starring role, with the aroma of “Roaring Fireside and Clementine” crowned as the ‘Scent of the Season’, voted for by Santa himself and then featuring in all of our Christmas grottos across the festive period.
