About this space

HUMBUG – Santa's Christmas Dive Bar Experience

After two years of sold-out shows, Humbug is back — bigger, bolder, and ready to throw the most joyfully chaotic Christmas party on earth. Step inside Santa’s favourite dive bar for a raucous, immersive festive experience packed with live music, outrageous games, and magical mayhem. This isn’t your polite grotto Santa — he’s the host, the headliner, and the heartbeat of the night, backed by his wild house band led by cowboy crooner Jonny Whiskey. Expect premium cocktails, award-winning festive street food, beer-can bowling, a Mariah Carey shrine, confetti explosions, and sing-along moments that get the whole room on its feet.

Part walk-through theatre, part wild Christmas lock-in, Humbug blends immersive storytelling, dazzling special effects, and interactive performances with the energy of a VIP night out. Perfect for friends, corporate groups, and festive thrill-seekers, this is Christmas turned up to 11.

Where: The Vaults, Waterloo, London SE1 7AD
When: 13th November – 28th December (no shows 25th–26th), with Matinee and Evening tickets.
Food & Drink: Premium cocktails, festive street food & packages available
