A garden centre is on the hunt for Christmas elves.

Two people are needed to help out at Santa’s grotto at Tenterden Garden Centre this year.

They need to be outgoing and happy to work with children. Costumes will be provided.

Sam Gilmartin, the centre’s marketing and events officer, said: “The job is paid and is for Saturdays and Sundays only.

“We need two elves to help at the grotto, dealing with the children and handing out gifts. They need to be fairly outgoing and happy to interact with children.”

The grotto is open at weekends from Saturday, November 21, to Sunday, December 20, from 10.30am to 4pm on Saturdays and 10.30am to 3pm on Sundays.

Anyone interested in applying should call 01233 758510 and ask for Sam.
