Santa’s Secret Hideaway, The Dolphin Centre, Poole

In response to the request for a Grotto, ‘but more exciting’, Atomic Bee created Santa’s Secret Hideaway at the Dolphin Centre, Poole.

Hosted by a group of cheery Elves, shoppers were invited to visit the hideaway and meet Santa himself, decorate a cupcake in Mrs Claus’ Kitchen, pinpoint their home on the giant map (for Santa’s delivery reference) and complete a festive craft.

But the fun didn’t stop there, with Mrs Claus ‘skyping’ in live from Lapland, as well as a Gallery of Elves whose images came alive transforming into videos - by magic (and also the use of digital technology and ipads). Over 2000 children visited over the space of 6 weekends, and the feedback was incredible…Santa and his hideaway were a hit!
