Father Christmas

Christmas is coming to Jarrolds, and we are looking for a very special cast of Father Christmases and Christmas Elves to help us create an unforgettable festive experience for our customers.

As an independent department store with a passion for beautiful things, exceptional service and memorable experiences, we want to bring a little extra magic to Christmas this year.

Father Christmas

We are looking for a warm, charismatic and utterly convincing Father Christmas to become the face of our Jarrolds Christmas experience.

You should have a wonderful natural presence, a great sense of humour and the ability to make every child feel as though they are the most important person in the room.

We are particularly interested in people with experience in:

• Theatre and performance


• Children's entertainment


• Storytelling


• Hospitality or customer experience


• Previous Father Christmas roles

A naturally impressive Father Christmas appearance, voice and manner are essential.

Details

• Christmas Season 1st -24th December


• Various hours available


• Outfits are provided

The Audition

We want to meet people who can make Christmas feel magical, authentic and memorable.

The audition will include some simple character and improvisation exercises, which may involve:

• Meeting an imaginary family


• Talking to a child about their Christmas wishes


• A short storytelling or character exercise


• For Father Christmas applicants, a short Father Christmas performance

Don't worry about getting everything "right".  We are looking for warmth, personality, imagination and that special Christmas sparkle.
