Christmas Entertainment Andover
Andover Christmas bookings in recent years have included the All That Glitters event at Andover College, where Rodney the rodeo reindeer, the Christmas photo booth and the Christmas dance machine filled the hall in December 2025. The rest of the Test Valley diary runs on staff parties at the business parks east of the town and hotel dos across SP10 and SP11. Andover is about 47 miles from the workshop, A3 then M3 then A303.
Christmas bookings in Andover run from staff dos to family parties, and the list above covers both ends. The rodeo reindeer and the Christmas pudding ride are the queue-pullers at a Andover do, the Christmas photo booth and magic selfie mirror take the corner, and Whack an Elf, the Great Elf Race and the dance machine fill the gaps in between.
We've been in event hire since 2002, working from a commercial unit in Havant, and every piece of Christmas kit we bring to Andover is ours outright with no sub-hire. Every item that needs a plug is PAT-tested, the rodeo machines carry ADIPS certification, our staff are enhanced-DBS registered, and the £10 million public liability certificate plus the additional licensed-premises cover can go out with the Andover quote.
Christmas work sits alongside the rest of the Andover diary rather than replacing it, and the same crew who deliver the rodeo bull in summer bring the reindeer attachment in December. The Andover event hire page rounds up everything else, from the bouncy castles and assault courses of the summer fairs to the photo booths that work all year.
December in Andover is booked weeks ahead of everything else in the year, so an early enquiry is worth the trouble. Send the date and the room and we will confirm what fits, and the insurance certificates can go to the Andover venue the same day.
The rodeo bull was brilliant and your staff member Dave was fantastic, the best staff party yet. I will certainly be recommending you.

Christmas party entertainment in Andover - common questions
How far ahead should we book Christmas entertainment in Andover?
December is the busiest month of the Andover diary, and the first two weekends go first. For Andover, six to eight weeks is comfortable for most items; a mid-December Saturday with the reindeer or the grotto wants earlier, since staffed pieces are limited by people as much as kit.
Can you supply several attractions for one Andover Christmas party?
That is most of our December work in Andover: a rodeo or the snowboard simulator as the headline, the Christmas photo booth in the corner, and two or three electronic games filling the gaps. A multi-item Andover booking works out cheaper per piece, and one van covers the whole lot.
Our Andover venue is a hotel or pub with a licence. Is that a problem?
No. We carry additional licensed-premises insurance on top of the £10 million public liability policy, which is what licensed Andover venues want to see before anyone sets up, and the certificates go out with the quote. Tell us which Andover venue is hosting and we will forward the certificates to them.
How much space and power does Christmas entertainment need at a Andover venue?
The rodeo reindeer and the snowboard simulator need a clear 20ft by 20ft and one standard 13amp socket, the photo booths want a level corner of about 2.3m by 1.25m, and the table and arcade games fit wherever the Andover room has a table and a socket. Send the Andover room measurements and we will confirm what fits before the date is held.
