Christmas Entertainment Gosport
Gosport Christmas bookings lean on the naval community around PO12 and PO13: we were at HMS Sultan over a weekend in December 2025 with the cash grabber, Whack an Elf and the Roll and Bowl elf racing, and the messes and unit committees book similar spreads most years. Evening dos at the waterfront venues around Stokes Bay and Lee-on-the-Solent take the photo booth and the reindeer. Gosport is about twelve miles from the workshop, M27 then the A32.
Christmas bookings in Gosport 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 Gosport 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 run the business from a commercial unit in Havant since 2002, the Christmas kit is ours outright like everything else, and Gosport bookings are never passed to another operator. The rodeo attachments are ADIPS certified, the electronics are PAT-tested, every member of staff is enhanced-DBS registered, and the £10 million public liability certificate, risk assessment and method statement can go out with the Gosport quote.
A December do often books alongside something earlier in the year for the same Gosport client, and the practical pages are worth a look if you are planning more than the party: the Gosport event hire range covers the summer bouncy castles and assault courses, the rodeo bull that takes the same machine as the reindeer, and the photo booths that run through the winter.
December in Gosport 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 Gosport venue the same day.
The team are fab, helpful but also know how to get the team going on the activities. Thank you again for another fab day, we look forward to using you next year!

Christmas party entertainment in Gosport - common questions
How far ahead should we book Christmas entertainment in Gosport?
December is the busiest month of the Gosport diary, and the first two weekends go first. Book Gosport six to eight weeks ahead for a comfortable run at most items, and earlier for a mid-December Saturday with the reindeer or the grotto, because staffed pieces are limited by people as much as kit.
Can you supply several attractions for one Gosport Christmas party?
That is most of our December work in Gosport: 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. Bundle the Gosport pieces into one booking and each costs less, with everything on the one van round the M27.
Our Gosport 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 Gosport venues want to see before anyone sets up, and the certificates go out with the quote. Tell us the Gosport venue and the paperwork is with the organiser well before the night.
How much space and power does Christmas entertainment need at a Gosport venue?
Measure the Gosport room with these in mind: 20ft by 20ft clear plus a socket for the reindeer or simulator, 2.3m by 1.25m of level corner for the photo booths, and a table with a socket for the table and arcade games. Send the Gosport room measurements and we will confirm what fits before the date is held.
