Job Description: Magic Elf at LaplandUK
Brought to life by Hollywood set designers and West End theatre professionals, LaplandUK is an immersive theatrical experience on an unprecedented scale, crafting a breathtaking world of magic, wonder, and festive beauty.
Our award-winning production sells out within hours each year, welcoming over 170,000 guests to our 30-acre enchanted forest—including famous faces like Elton John and members of the Royal Family. Each season, more than 1,000 exceptional performers bring imagination to life, captivating audiences with rich storytelling and theatrical excellence.
Want to see behind the curtain? Take a peek at our recent Channel 4 Christmas special for a rare behind-the-scenes look at the extraordinary world of LaplandUK.
Guests journey through a 4.5-hour, live walk-through adventure featuring five uniquely themed, interactive performances that blend immersive storytelling, character interaction, and festive magic. It's an unforgettable experience for families—and it's our cast that brings it all to life.
The Role: Magic Elf
As a Magic Elf, you'll be one of 32 unique characters who bring our enchanting Christmas tale to life. Each elf has their own special name, personality, and storyline, and plays a vital role in creating magical, lasting memories for every visiting family.
You'll remain in character throughout the experience—guiding families through the snowy wonderland, assisting Father Christmas during his magical visits, and ensuring every moment feels full of wonder and authenticity. Whether you're leading guests to the Father Christmas cabins or supporting behind the scenes, Magic Elves are a core part of the LaplandUK story.
We're particularly interested in individuals with acting or performance backgrounds, but experience isn't essential. What matters most is energy, confidence, and a warm, engaging presence. If you love working with people, stepping into character, and being part of something truly extraordinary—we'd love to hear from you.
