Pack your bags, we’re going to hell! This Halloween Snog the Frog is devolving into a tropical inferno and we’re burning with desire to style your wildest Halloween fancy dress costume.
We gave Phoebe-from-marketing the task of coming up with our Halloween theme and she came back with the cramps. No we’re not menstruating but there will be blood. This year’s Halloween theme is inspired by the raucous rockabilly of The Cramps’ ‘Aloha from Hell.’ Leopard-print? You can bet your bottom dollar there will be and more besides. There is no space for good taste on this trip and the sunburn is going to be a killer. We’ll send you postcard.
Get your ski bums into Snog the Frog this winter!
Warm up in one of our incredible Apres-ski retro costumes all the way.

Whatever your religious persuasion, we hope that Easter offers you an important unifying gift: some time off. But before that you’ll need a plush bunny costume.
As it happens just before the pandemic broke out last year we anticipated a busy Easter and bought some new bunnies to add to our collection. Best. Investment. Ever.

Welcome to a gallery featuring a small selection of the hire costumes we have in-store.
In the backstreets of Surry Hills behind a roller door lurks a strange, almost mythical beast: a costume hire shop in the age of online shopping.
For over ten years Melanie Adam has fancy dressed thousands of customers at Snog the Frog. In 2017 things took a sharp left turn when Mel suddenly became the owner.
Snog the Frog has been a mainstay of costume shopping for making the pre-party a party. We still love the ridiculousness of dressing up. It’s silly and that’s OK.
Man, woman, child and everything in between, we’re here to help you find your ideal costume or even just that perfect accessory to complete your own invention. We also provide full make-up services. Come and play dressups with us.
