Job Summary

Immersive Octopus are recruiting a friendly and enthusiastic Front of House Team to help bring alive two new family immersive adventures; ā€œPumpkinVilleā€ & "ChristmasVille" , in the historic city of Portsmouth.

Job Description

This year, the seasons come alive in two extraordinary worlds: PumpkinVille and ChristmasVille. The audience enter giant 19-metre domes and are immersed in adventures where theatre, film and spectacular effects astound at every turn.

By night, the domes transform into glowing destinations with festive bars, classic films and exciting experiences just for adults.

With dazzling projection, live performance, puppetry and music, this immersive adventure places the audience right at the heart of the story, for an experience that is playful, magical, and unforgettable.

The Front of House Team are instrumental in ensuring the audiences and welcomed to the experience and are immersed in the magical world. From the first checking of tickets, reaching their seats, through to the meeting of Father Christmas in his grotto, or experiencing pulse racing moments in the scarier corners of PumpkinVille.
