Could you bring magic to the children of Herefordshire? We are always looking for jolly volunteers to become the main man himself for our popular Christmas Grotto each year.

What does the role entail?
The main responsibility of a professional Santa is to make visitors feel like they are really talking to Santa. This involves acting and dressing like Santa and staying in character during all interactions. Santas perform a range of duties such as:

Posing for photos: One of the main duties of a professional Santa is to pose for photographs with visitors. They smile brightly during all photos and use classic photos to contribute to the Christmas ambiance and give customers and excellent photo
Interacting with children and other guests: Professional Santas always stay in character, especially when talking to kids. Children may sit on the professional Santa’s lap and talk about what presents they want to receive for Christmas. The professional Santa is responsible for guiding an engaging conversation with their visitors, asking questions and making them feel special.
