Dream Job: Get Paid to Sleep in a Christmas Grotto

If trying out magical festive experiences and activities is one of your favourite things to do as a family over the Christmas period, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

As we approach the festive season, Premier Inn has launched an opportunity for all families that love everything Christmas to test out their new ‘Christmas Grotto Package’ – a one-of-a-kind festive experience in London Farringdon!
The lucky applicant and their loved ones chosen for the role will be tasked with testing Premier Inn’s bespoke Christmas Grotto hotel room, and as if that were not enough, they will also enjoy a trip to Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland and a private black cab tour of London’s famous Christmas lights. The winners will also be able to tuck into a delicious Premier Inn breakfast and receive up to £150 towards travel costs included as part of the Grotto Tester opportunity.

Premier Inn’s one-of-a-kind bespoke Christmas Grotto hotel room will be filled with plenty of festive touches for the ultimate Christmas experience. Matching family pyjamas, a delicious hot chocolate station, and luxury Baylis & Harding festive toiletries can all be enjoyed in the main bedroom and bathroom. Right next door, they will enter a magical Grotto room where they will find a decorated tree and a festive creation station for creating their own mementoes of their trip to take home. Santa may even have left some additional treats under the tree, too!

The successful applicants will need to report back on their experience once they’ve tried out the Christmas Grotto Package, having taken photos/videos of their experience in the unique Premier Inn Christmas Grotto hotel room – all of which will be used by Premier Inn as part of the Grotto trial and promotional materials.

If you think you and your loved ones could be Premier Inn’s perfect Christmas Grotto testers, head to the application page and provide the following information:

Here at Premier Inn, we love a good celebration, so this package is the perfect option for people who love nothing more than getting into the festive spirit!

“We believe this is the dream job to beat all dream jobs – who wouldn’t want to experience the wonder of the city at this special time and then the chance to return to our one-of-a-kind Grotto room to truly rest easy”.

Applications for the role are now open and will close at midnight on the 23rd of November, 2023.

Please note this is a trial of the package, and if successful, Premier Inn may consider introducing it on a wider scale for future festive periods.
