Secret Santa & Present Hunt

Secret Santa at MBGF

Our much-loved Secret Santa returns for the festive special!

To take part, simply bring along a small, wrapped gift worth £5 or less. (If you forget, don’t worry — you can always nip into the Geek Fayre and pick something up!)

Drop your gift off at the designated Secret Santa station any time before the exchange (Check the event programme for timings) and you'll be given a ticket. Then, join us during the Secret Santa gathering where everyone will draw a random present and unwrap it together.

It’s a cosy, communal moment full of surprises — and always one of the weekend’s highlights.

The MBGF Present Hunt

Hidden around the festival are a number of small, wrapped gifts waiting to be found…

Throughout the weekend, keep your eyes peeled — presents could be tucked away on shelves, behind signs, around gaming areas, or anywhere Santa’s mischievous helpers can reach!

If you find one, Bring it to the welcome desk and we'll exchange it for a goodie.

Presents will be replenished at random times, so the hunt continues all weekend long (One present per person).
