After some discussion, DCs primary school is keen to set up a grotto with Santa and elves at the Christmas fair...I have volunteered with two other mums to organise this. We need to recruit Santa and some elves, source decorations to transform the scruffy sports equipment shed into a 'magical grotto', issue tickets, choose and wrap presents, and ensure that all the timings work. The fair is for two hours after school, 4.30-5.30 - approximately 160 children in the school. We are thinking of charging £2.00 per child and buying cheap but nice books from Book People/ Red House etc as presents. We would be really grateful for any tips and suggestions - so new to this! For instance should we sell tickets in advance or on the day?
