The programme for your Christmas event
Give your event a truly spectacular touch with an acrobatic arrival by Santa Claus via zip line or abseiling.
From a church tower, a building or a suitable structure, Father Christmas makes a dramatic entrance from the sky that blends seamlessly into the surroundings to create a visually striking experience.
Designed to be a real highlight, this presentation transforms a standard moment into a striking visual sequence that immediately captures the audience’s attention and enhances your event.
A bespoke aerobatic display to mark Santa’s arrival
The aerobatic display has been choreographed to create a truly festive atmosphere in the spirit of Christmas.
Designed to appeal to a wide audience, this Christmas acrobatics show is ideal for high-attendance events.
An activity suitable for Saint Nicholas Day and Christmas
In Alsace and Lorraine, we also organise events for Saint Nicholas Day.
St Nicholas’s arrival via zip line or abseiling makes for a real highlight at end-of-year events, whilst staying true to local traditions.
A themed experience to enhance your Christmas event
Beyond its technical merits, the animation can be incorporated into a fully-fledged Christmas display.
Whether it’s the arrival of Father Christmas or Saint Nicholas, interaction with the audience, or the staging… every detail is carefully planned to ensure the event fits seamlessly into your programme.
An acrobatic show for your end-of-year celebrations
Our zip-line and abseiling activities for Christmas celebrations can be adapted to suit the technical and architectural constraints of the venue. Depending on the layout and your objectives, the landing can be arranged in several different ways:
Santa’s zip-line ride
An aerial display in which Father Christmas will glide across the sky on his flying trapeze or his sleigh. Visible from a distance, this display is ideal for open spaces.
Saint Nicholas on a zip line
Particularly well-suited to events in Alsace and Lorraine, this activity showcases local traditions with a spectacular arrival of Saint Nicholas on a zip line.
Santa’s abseil
Father Christmas will put on a show by abseiling down from a building (town hall, church, building façade, etc.). This event is ideal for town centres and small urban spaces.
Abseiling at Saint Nicolas
An elegant option for events in urban settings, offering close proximity to audiences in the north-east, particularly in Lorraine and Alsace.
