M&D’s Scotland’s Theme Park is looking to recruit a number of Santas for their special Christmas experience.

Launching on Saturday November 23, Destination Christmas runs on various dates until Tuesday December 24 and attracts hundreds of visiting families.

The temporary part-time positions require suitable Santas to work alongside a team of elves to greet families, listen to the children and report their requests back to the one and only Santa Claus.

Jensen Taylor Connelly, Director, M&D’s Scotland’s Theme Park said: “It’s an important responsibility to be able to support the real Santa Claus and pass on all the Christmas gift requests in time for them all to be made.

“Ideally, we’re looking for Santas with their own beards and big smiles, but personality is key and training will be provided.

Interested candidates should get in touch by emailing info@scotlandsthemepark.com.

Destination Christmas features a feast of festive attractions including Santa’s Magical Circus in the Big Top, a 45-minute show presented by the famous Chipperfield family. Visitors can enjoy M&D’s on Ice in a new undercover ice-rink and Believe is a magical family experience featuring festive story telling.

You can meet Santa and his elves in his workshop and visit his magical Grotto with lots of different festive scenes. Pay a visit to Santa’s reindeer, post your letter to Santa and enjoy a ride on Sparkle’s outdoor train.
