Drusillas launches Search for Santa - could it be 'zoo'!?

Do you have a jolly disposition, a hearty ‘ho ho ho’, and get along well with reindeer, elves, lemurs, sloths, and capybaras? 

If this sounds like you, then we've got just the job – we've launched a search for a new Santa to join our Christmas team – could it be ‘zoo’?

Drusillas hosts a heartwarming Christmas event in November and December each year, where children across the South get to experience a magical moment with Santa in his cosy cottage. We're very proud to have gained a reputation for having one of the most realistic Santa stand-ins there is: “Drusillas Santa IS Santa, and I won’t hear otherwise!“ as one happy customer said.

But this festive season, one of the Park’s friendly Santas has been called back to the North Pole on urgent business, and we're missing a Father Christmas. So the hunt is on to find someone new to fill those big black boots and bring delight and joy to Drusillas visitors.

Applicants will need to be available at weekends and school holidays from the end of November until 23rd December. So if you’re crazy about Christmas, and red is most definitely your colour, get in touch and let our team know you’re ready to ‘sleigh’ as the Park’s newest Santa.

Managing Director Cassie Poland said, “There’s something very special about being a Drusillas Santa, with so much expectation and excitement in the air. Meeting Santa is the highlight of lots of our visitor’s festive visits. It’s the most amazing job because our Santas really do make children’s dreams come true!

“We’re on the hunt for a new Santa to join our Christmas team, so if you, or someone you know would like to apply, just head to our website to find out more. Full training and a red suit will be provided. Scrooges and grinches need not apply!”
