Christmas party entertainment hire
Mind-controlled cocktails, robot-served champagne, a conversational Grumpy Santa and interactive games built to delight your crowd.
December dates are limited. Fridays and Saturdays book first.
Four ways to do it
From £1,000
Pour a festive drink with your mind.
Guests wear an EEG headset and use their concentration to activate Homer, our mind-controlled drinks-pouring robot.
Every attempt gives the room something to watch, and every successful player leaves with a drink they poured using their own brainwaves.
From £1,000
Fizz, poured with a wave of your hand.
Matilda serves sparkling drinks on a gesture — no buttons, no bar queue, just a hand raised and a glass poured.
The most elegant of the three, and the fastest way to keep a large room served.
From £2,500
Can your guests talk their way onto the nice list?
Our conversational AI vending machine becomes Grumpy Santa for the night.
Each guest has a genuinely unique conversation with Santa, trying to convince him they deserve a place on the nice list. Win him over and he dispenses a festive gift.
No two conversations are the same, which is where most of the comedy comes from.
From £2,000
Use your concentration to save Christmas.
A mind-controlled festive challenge. As the player focuses, the Christmas tree grows and begins to light up.
Light the whole tree before Christmas Eve and win a festive prize.
Prices are per activation, excluding VAT, for venues within the M25. We'll confirm your exact quote once we know your date, venue and guest numbers. Booking more than one experience? Ask us about combined pricing.
Drinks and prizes
We'll work with your venue on drinks. For Festive Homer you can supply them yourself or we can supply them where licensing allows, and we'll agree this with the venue before the night.
Matilda pours sparkling drinks supplied by your venue or by you. As a rule of thumb, allow one half bottle for every three guests — around 35 half bottles for 100 guests, or 60 for a full three-hour activation. We'll confirm the right quantity for your party, and we can talk you through the options: champagne, prosecco or an alcohol-free alternative.
Gifts and prizes aren't included in the package price, but we'll help you choose them and can source and brand them for you.
