The Dobbies store in Ponteland is on the lookout for a jolly team of Santas and elves to help create unforgettable festive experiences for families visiting this season.

From welcoming families and even four-legged visitors to Santa’s Grotto to hosting the much-loved Santa’s Breakfast in the restaurant, successful applicants will help bring the magic of Christmas to life.

Preparations for the festive period will begin in mid-November, ahead of Santa’s arrival on November 22 that marks the beginning of Dobbies’ Christmas events programme at the Ponteland store.

Dobbies people experience manager, Victoria Craig, said: “Whether you’re a seasoned Santa or discovering your elf persona for the first time, we can’t wait to help create magical memories together this Christmas at Dobbies.”

The closing date for applications in relation to these roles is September 25.
