  • “Pippa, thank you so much for tonight Santa was fantastic! They usually leave grottos questioning if they saw the real Santa but tonight they have no doubts!"

    Sophie Pavli, NW7

  • “We've had a visit from FC this evening and he was incredible. The children were all mesmerised. The snippets of information he knew about them really added to the mystery and cemented their belief. We all sang "Deck the Halls" and he told them that they needed to spread Christmas Cheer or his reindeer wouldn't return (they'd escaped) and recited the "Night before Christmas". It was a truly magical experience and one they will never forget. Wish he was around when I was a child!”

    Claudia, SW15

  • “One of our nursery parents suggested Pippa’s Poppets when I was searching for a Father Christmas for our Christmas Concert. We were not disappointed and our Father Christmas arrived in good time to get changed and hide out of sight in the church.  After his cue of a loud rendition of Jingle Bells, he emerged as a very credible and jolly Santa. Children, parents and grandparents were all delighted, as were we!"

    Miss Daisy’s Nursery, Brook Green

  • “Pippa's Poppets also provided our Father Christmas on several occasions. He was THE best Father Christmas always arriving in and remaining in character for his whole visit. He engaged with the children in a very jolly way and joined in Christmas singing with the children. He looked so authentic.”

    Miss Karen, Headteacher of Marmalade Bear - Wandsworth Common

  • “We have now used Pippa’s Poppets for two years running at our nursery party which we host at Soho Farmhouse. Father Christmas and his always trusty, reliable and totally brilliant elf are always prompt, accommodating to our needs, fully get into their character and have left every single parent wanting their details.  They are absolutely brilliant with the children and are so engaging that even the parents felt like they believed again. They are unbelievably talented and we will only ever use them in the future.”
