Worksop needs a Santa - could you fill the role and the red suit
An urgent job vacancy for a Santa who doesn't get seasick has arisen in Worksop.
The voluntary position for a jolly person happy to don a red suit, wellies and long white beard, is with the Hugh Henshall Santa Special Cruises on the Chesterfield Canal from Shireoaks Top Lock, for eight days, from December 5.
Santa will have helper elves, and will engage with families and children on four short cruises each day, running from 11am, noon, 1pm and 2pm.
There is also the option of job-sharing if two people would like to share the duties between them.
Boat manager and trustee of the Chesterfield Canal Trust, Sarah Stephens, said: "We are desperately seeking a new Santa, as our wonderful former Santa of over a decade has retired, and a replacement we thought was taking his place is now unable to help.
"We'd like to hear from anyone interested in joining the Hugh Henshall crew, and they can email to [email protected] or call 07356 291497 for more details."
Passengers on the Santa cruises pay £10 for the 45-minute cruise that includes a gift from Santa, a drink and sweets for every child, and a drink and mince pie for every adult.
