We are recruiting Elves for our Santa Experience this Christmas

We are seeking actors to play the role of Christmas Elves at Poole’s Caverns for our popular Santa’s Grotto event this Christmas. As a Christmas Elf, your main responsibility will be to ensure that all visitors have a magical experience during their visit. You will work alongside Santa in our natural limestone cave in shifts lasting approximately 90 minutes. Your duties will include staying in character, guiding families from the meeting point to Santa, and ensuring that the event timings are followed. You will also be responsible for greeting families, assisting with present organization, and maintaining and cleaning the grotto set. Please note that this role involves outdoor work, and an elf costume will be provided.

An update from the Town Team on their plans for Christmas

We wrote recently to ask you to ‘Save the date’ for Christmas decorations and celebrations this year and, although you will probably have picked up information from the press and our website, we promised to let you have more detailed information, so here we are.

Buxton Town Team are inviting businesses, organisations, schools or families to adopt a spot to decorate in town. Please go to http://buxtontownteam.org/working-on/buxton-in-bloom-2016/buxton-bloomin-winter/ to ‘Adopt a Spot’, and register it for the list by sending us an email or phoning us. Feel free to put up a weather proof sign (no more than A4 size) saying who has decorated the Spot.

We are suggesting low, or no, cost decorations and give lots of ideas of stunning things to make so, on the same page just click on ‘some ideas’ for instruction sheets. The town colour scheme this year is red, green and gold. Flowerpot People can come out again dressed warmly for winter, if you still have them. We would like the decorations to be up by the morning of Saturday 3rd December please.

Saturday 3rd December 4.15 for 4.30 pm. We will all gather in Spring Gardens dressed up if you like but not compulsory! The theme is Peter Pan and Pirates. Our Christmas Carnival Parade, lit with lanterns and led by the Town Crier, will then make its way across Terrace Road, up The Slopes, over the Market Place finishing at the Pavilion Gardens for hot drinks and food. We will stop at various points along the way to regroup and sing seasonal songs; songsheets will be on the website nearer the time. Please remember to bring torches and wrap up warm.

Very importantly, by Saturday January 7th, each group will take down their decorations and either store them for next year or dispose of them.

Hope this helps, please get back to us if you need more information.

Buxton will have a Bloomin’ Brilliant Christmas this year – with your enthusiasm!
