From a charity visit

“I have been organising Christmas parties for our young members of Berkshire Vision for the last sixteen years and can honestly say that you are the most life-like Santa we have ever had. Your outfit was perfect and the benefit of having a real white beard certainly made the children believe you were the real thing – I’m sure they can tell when a beard is fake!

You were jolly, gentle and caring. I am very grateful that you took your time with each child and were very considerate to our blind and visually impaired members and their siblings.”

“Extremely impressed with Mike Facherty tonight who is The Henley Santa! Thank you for gracing my theatre company with your company!”

Reading University Nursery

“The children were really excited when Santa arrived at their Nursery Christmas party. Santa was very jolly and had such a calm and friendly approach with the children. Santa visited all the children within our Nursery. Each age group was very settled when Santa visited and the children seemed very comfortable when collecting their presents and having their photographs taken. Santa was very professional and arrived to Nursery in his own Santa clothes and he really looked the part. When visiting the children Santa called them by their names which impressed some of the Pre-school children. As they said after the visit, ‘Santa knew my name.’

The Parents were also very happy to hear from their children that they had seen Santa at their party and loved receiving their photographs.”

From the grotto

“We visited Father Christmas this evening – he was brilliant! My daughter said she would only believe he was the real Father Christmas if he had a real beard (check!) and if he mentioned her elf’s name (check!) She is totally amazed!

Thank you very much – we look forward to going back next year.”

From the grotto

“When it came to meeting the man himself it wasn’t just us who were relieved – our daughter had no doubt it was clearly the real one. He looked just as we’d all wanted him to look. Real! … we all came away feeling very happy.”

From the grotto manager

“Mike is the real deal! Absolutely brilliant with the children & parents alike, truly capturing what the Season is about. He is a real pleasure to work with; hard working, kind, punctual & full of Christmas Magic. We have Elves fighting to work with him!”
