A Christmas Trail for Town Centres
We hire out sets of 6ft nutcracker figures - eight to twelve of them, hand-painted in different colourways and built to sit outdoors through a British December - as a trail for town centres and shopping centres. We place them in shop windows, doorways, and public spaces around your patch, and we design a bespoke trail booklet with a map, a story, and a few puzzles for the kids to work through while their parents get a bit of shopping done.
Each figure stands on its own circular base, so there's no fixings or drilling to worry about. They hold a gold staff and wear the full nutcracker get-up - crown, epaulettes, glossy hand-painted uniform - in a few different colourways. We've got reds, blues, and a couple of others in the warehouse.
The booklet and Santa post box for completed trail forms come as part of the hire. We can set you up with a digital entry form instead if that's easier. You supply the prize - past clients have put up anything from £50 to £500 in high street vouchers, whatever fits your budget.
Delivery, setup, and collection are all in the price. We'll send risk assessments and method statements over to you or your venue before we turn up, and every hire is covered by our £5 million public liability insurance. We've been doing this from our Sheffield warehouse for over 25 years. Most of the kit on this site - the nutcrackers included - we own and maintain ourselves, so there's no third-party stock in the mix and nobody else to chase if something needs sorting on the day.
