FATHER CHRISTMAS - £214 PER DAY - ASCOT

LaplandUK, the award-winning immersive Christmas experience based on original stories by Mike & Alison Battle, brings the enchanting world of Father Christmas and his Elves to life for thousands of families every year. With stunning Hollywood-style sets, West End-quality performances, and a deep commitment to storytelling, LaplandUK creates unforgettable festive memories.

We’re looking for exceptional individuals to embody the most iconic figure of the season: Father Christmas.

THE ROLE

As Father Christmas, you’ll become the original toymaker, greeting children and families with warmth, dignity, and gentle humour. With a twinkle in your eye and a kind heart, you’ll create an intimate, magical moment for every guest, one they’ll remember for a lifetime.

Key responsibilities include:

Warmly welcoming families into your snowy woodland cabin
Listening to children’s Christmas wishes and engaging with genuine interest
Handing out personalised gifts with care and presence
Maintaining the magic, mystery, and authenticity of Father Christmas in every interaction
Working closely with West End wardrobe professionals to present a world-class appearance
Managing time effectively to ensure a smooth flow of visits throughout each day.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You might be an actor, a performer, a drama teacher, a public speaker — or simply someone with a kind soul and a love for bringing joy to others.

You’ll need:

A calm, gentle, and dignified presence
Strong communication and improvisation skills
The ability to stay in character and hold space for children’s imaginations
Confidence in working with tight schedules and under pressure
A warm and welcoming demeanour — with or without performance experience (Full training is provided.)

WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE

£214 per day (£20.50 per hour + £50 daily subsiduary)
Free hot meal each shift
Paid breaks
Free transport from the local train station
Unlimited tea & coffee
Staff discount on selected event dates

LOCATION

Whitmoor Forest, Swinley Road, Ascot
