On the second month of Christmas my true love gave to meee…
2 sexy stockings
And an iced fruit-cake with glace cher-ryyyy….

The London Santacon is coming to town Saturday 15th December 2012!
A marathon of big red fun from early afternoon until the early hours of the following morning.

What do we do?

• We romp around central London
• We give stuff out
• We do performance art
• We hug strangers
• We wear santa costumes with a spin
• We sing alternative carols
• We might visit a few pubs along the way.
• And then we have a massive party and dance our socks off.

Well someone has to do it….

Please do read the stuff in What is Santacon to get aquainted with the concept. Finally, the more you bring or put into Santacon, the more you will get out of it. More info and ideaa in the Santa guide… Please make sure that you read the rules and understand the overview on the front page of santacon.co.uk. And have a read in Santa’s guide.

More details to follow…

Ho-ho-ho!

To all the Santas that came to Santacon, Merry Christmas! See you in 12 months time again.
In the meantime have a look at some photos and videos of the 2011 event.
We love you all! X

Santa, when you upload pictures of Santacon to the likes of Flickr, Picasa or any other web album, then please use the following tags “London“, “Santacon“, “2011” to allow your fellow Santas to find and re-appreciate and re-imagine the event.

The Grotto idea seems to be in a state of disruption, alas. There ARE functioning grottae this year and a big heads up to the wonderful Wheelie Bin Sound System and their Santas Ghetto Grotto. Many of you are sadly homeless when it comes to grotto though. Never mind Santa. Just come along and look for people like you and invite yourself to join them, whether it be the Santas with blue in the beard, the Ukelele playing santae, Pirate Santas, Cyber Santas, Steampunk Santae, Punk Punk Santae, Santa’s fillies with Mrs Claus on a hen night Santae,  Green Santa, Smart Chap Santa, the Reindeer boys, the lovely elfin folk (yes we love them now!) or whatever you fancy. Be original if you like. See if you can be the only santa in his class!

At the finale party at Bloomsbury Bowling lanes there will be a festive set and a professional photographer (and her able assistant) to take photos of you. If you would like to record a formally posed portait of yourself as Santa – this i the place to do it. If you want to get papped for posterity with the new Santa friends you made onthe day so that you remember who they are when you come round on Monday, this is the place to go. The photo studio will commence at 9 pm and end at 1 pm and photos will be £5 per shot (not per person). Please Santa try not to rah the booth and fall on the trees, and try not to molest the elf. Please, by all means though, encourage people to sit on your lap. This little corner of the Kingpin Suite will be our LAPland… HoHoHO…
