Rogue Elf Wanted
Professional dates at Dirlton Walled Garden
Events company Rogue Village has put out an open call for an Elf to perform at its new theatrical Santa experience at Archerfield Walled Garden over Christmas 2019.
The garden is on the Archerfield Estate, Dirleton, North Berwick EH39 5HQ. The professional contract will attract a fee of £1,800, for 12 dates between Friday 6 and Monday 23 December 2019. Audition application closing date is Friday 11 October for auditions on Thursday 24 October.

Rogue Village says that the experience will see children entering Santa’s log cabin and sorting office accompanied by their parent or responsible adult. The sorting office will feature maps, letters, Santa’s working and so on.
The Elf will welcome the group and let them know what they are stepping into before introducing Santa who will tell a short story. The children will then be given their present.
The company adds: “We aim to create an experience that pays attention to detail in its set design as well an experience that adults will enjoy as much as children. Ultimately, we seek to position our Santa experience as the most special in Scotland.
“We are looking for the perfect elf to work alongside Santa. The actor/actress must have a natural warmth, be great with children, strong character work ability and endurance!
family friendly
“We want every child to get the same level of experience. We are open to applications from conventional to the more unconventional or comedic elves but must remain family friendly.”
The contract will take place at Archerfield Walled Garden in East Lothian and the Elf will be expected to make their own way to and from the venue throughout the contract.
