The Entertainer is the heart of the store's magic. At Hamleys, this is not a traditional retail role — you are a performer on the shop floor. You will bring products to life through high-energy demonstrations, live performances, and exceptional guest engagement.

Your goal is to create a fun, immersive environment that turns every store visit into a memorable experience for children and families.

• In-Store Entertainment & Activations: Support and perform in themed events, seasonal campaigns, birthday parties, and store activations, bringing energy and theatre to the retail environment.
• Brand Ambassadorship: Be the face of the store — energetic, confident, and expressive — ensuring every guest experiences the unique magic of Hamleys.
