What are people saying about Santa's Workshop...
 
"A must attend convention for all Santa’s , mrs clause’s and elves. Full of excellent vendors and guest speakers. Great for networking and for finding ways to improve your portrayal and create more magical wonder at your events."
 
"If you think you know Santa's Workshop UK as you have been to conventions before think again. Conventions are a place where like minded people meet, Santa's Workshop UK is where people who have dedicated their lives to keeping the spirit of Christmas magic alive meet, I can't think of a better group of people to inspire and elevate you."
 
"The role of Santa is a lonely one as there is no team to work with? But there is a team! Santa's Workshop is a place to meet others immersed in this wonderful role and learn from each other. Bounce ideas, and discuss problems and new ideas. No matter how long you’ve been doing this the shared experience of over many hundreds of years is pure gold!"
 
"This convention is incredible. You'll learn more here in a few days than you will in a few years doing your own research. Be surrounded by professionals all willing to share their experience and knowledge. Make new contacts and elevate your skills to the next level. Miss it, miss out. Fantastic value for the ticket price."
 
"This workshop is a must for anybody who likes Mince Pies, Bara Brith and Tunnocks Tea Cakes . It is also good if you fancy a diabetic coma."
