As a Christmas Elf you'll be based in our very own enchanted grotto for guests to enjoy safe, festive fun with their nearest and DEER-est. This will involve being in character as an Elf, assisting with various activities and supporting Father Christmas.

We require Elves to be available from mid-November until the 24th of December, and we have a mixture of part-time contracts available, working a variety of shifts including weekends, bank holidays and full-time hours during peak times as required.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an audition as part of the selection process.
