Santa's Workshop Photo Board

Hire from £95 plus VAT.

The peep board, done for Christmas

It's the seaside face-in-the-hole board with the beach swapped for Santa's grotto workshop: three cartoon elves standing in a printed scene of teddy bears, toys and wrapped presents, and a line of fat red Merry Christmas letters along the bottom edge. Stand behind the board, pick an elf hole, poke your head through, and you've joined the picture - three faces fit it at once, so a family or a few workmates get their shot together rather than queuing for turns.

The board measures 150cm x 180cm and comes with its own freestanding metal stand, so nothing gets fixed to a wall. Nothing plugs in either, and nobody has to mind it - it stands there, people find it, and the pictures take themselves on phones and land on social media before the event's halfway through.

Schools use it as the photo stop at Christmas fairs, offices book it for party nights, and on a corporate family fun day it gives the field a photo stop that costs nothing to run. Put a logo on it and every photo that gets shared carries the brand with it. Hit the button below to add it to a quote and we'll come back with dates and a delivered price.

What you get

  • Three Face Holes

    Three heads fit the picture at once, and the holes suit children and grown adults alike, so nobody in the group gets left holding the camera.

  • A Proper Big Panel

    At 150cm x 180cm the artwork reads from across a hall, and the printed scene holds up in photographs rather than fading into the background.

  • Nothing to Plug In

    No power and no staffing - the board and its stand go up in minutes and slot onto a pitch where a ride or a generator wouldn't.

  • Logo Printing Option

    Your logo or campaign message can go straight onto the artwork, and if none of our designs suit the brief we'll draw a board from scratch.

  • Overnight Option

    An extra £25 keeps the board standing overnight, which covers evening dos, light switch-ons and two-day fairs without a second delivery.

  • Cover as Standard

    £5 million public liability insurance comes with every hire, and the risk assessments a council or venue procurement team asks for are sent over before the event.

Size, siting and surfaces

The board is 150cm wide and 180cm tall - call it five foot by six - and the freestanding metal stand comes with it, so allow a pitch a bit bigger than the board for people lining up and stepping back for the photo.

Indoors it's happy on hard flooring or artificial grass. Outdoors it wants grass or firm ground such as a playground or a car park. We can't site it outside on concrete, wood chip or a patch that mixes grass and hard standing - the stand needs to sit flat.

What's included

  • The printed Santa's Workshop board, three elf holes
  • Its freestanding metal stand
  • Delivery, set-up and collection by our own crew from the Rotherham warehouse
  • £5 million public liability insurance
  • Risk assessments sent ahead where the venue wants them

From £95 plus VAT for a standard day, or £25 more to keep it up overnight. For a second photo option beside it, the Santa and Child Photo Board covers two at a time, and the inflatable Santa's Grotto turns the photo stop into the main event.

Kit that goes up in minutes

December runs on kit that works at short notice, and this is that: our crew deliver it, stand it up, and it earns its pitch for the rest of the day on school fairs, light switch-ons, market stalls and office party nights. The board's ours - stored at the warehouse, shipped on our transport, the same kit our operators put up year after year.

If the event's for a brand or a charity, the printing can go further than a logo - we've built boards from scratch to a campaign design before, and they're available to buy outright as well as hire if you run events often enough to want one of your own.

Common Questions

How much does it cost to hire?

From £95 plus VAT for a standard day. Keeping the board up overnight is an extra £25, and some postcodes carry a minimum spend which we'll flag when we quote.

How many people fit in the picture?

Three - one head per elf hole. The holes work for children and adults, so a family or a few colleagues from the same office get their shot in one go.

Where can the board stand?

Indoors on hard flooring or artificial grass. Outdoors on grass or firm ground such as a playground or car park. Concrete, wood chip and ground that's half grass and half hard are the three we'll turn down outdoors, because the stand has to sit flat.

Does it need power or staff?

Neither. Not a socket and not a person for the whole day, which is why it ends up on pitches where the rides and the stalls can't go.

Can we put our own branding on it?

Yes. A logo or campaign message can be printed onto the board, we can draw something bespoke from scratch, and we can quote for one to buy outright if your events run all year.
