Henley Santa

20/12/2025

I was just listening to our guest being piped aboard The New Orleans for the Santa Cruise. The music was lovely.
We won't actually be leaving the dock today as the river is too dangerous.
There are still a few vacancies for the 10.15 and 12.30 "cruises" on Monday and Tuesday. If you fancy coming to meet Bertie Slippers and me, you can book today on 01491 572035 or online on the Hobbs website.
Will I see you here?

There are still some spaces available on the Hobbs of Henley Santa Cruises. The cruises are on from Saturday the 20th of December through to Tuesday the 23rd.
The fabulous Bertie Slippers will entertain our family visitors as the New Orleans cruises up to the lock and around the eyots (river conditions permitting).
Then Father Christmas (me) will join you, and the children will es**rt me to my grotto, where we can chat and I'll give the children a little gift.
I hope that I'll see you and your little ones there!

Hi folks,
Just a reminder that I will be in the Henley Late Night Grotto from 4.40 to 8.00 today. I look forward to seeing some of you there.

Would your family love a magical visit from Father Christmas in your own home this year?

Even though my December calendar is filling up fast with corporate events, I’m delighted to say I still have some availability for home visits in and around the Henley area. These visits are very special – designed to create treasured memories that last a lifetime.

Whether it’s telling a story by the tree, sharing a giggle, or listening to a secret Christmas wish, there’s nothing quite like having Santa join you at home to bring a sparkle to a child’s eyes.

If you’re thinking, “Yes, please!”, just drop an email to my Chief Elf, Michelle, at:
[email protected]

She’ll check the sleigh diary and get everything arranged.

These slots always go quickly, so don’t wait too long!
Let’s make this Christmas truly magical.

Hi folks,

You can see my Boxing day video on YouTube where it premiered about half-an-hour ago. You are welcome to share the link to anyone who might want a last message from Santa for 2024!

Hi folks, I just arrived at The Chequers in Marlow. They still have breakfast slots available and also pop ons to visit with me without breakfast.
It is the same tomorrow, so no great need to book!

See you soon?

Someone told me today that she had contacted me through my website. Nothing has turned up, so I guess it's not working properly.
If you have tried to contact me through my henleysanta.com website, I am not ignoring you. Please drop me a line on [email protected].
Sorry about that,
Mike (Henley Santa)
