Work at a Christmas fair, earn 3500 Euros

Where Christmas is celebrated, the Christmas fairs are always beloved and full of visitors each year. Employers have started to look for this year’s employees to work in those tiny little wooden cabins, and they do not skimp. Pénzcentrum investigated exactly how much money one can earn working at one of the Christmas fairs.

The Christmas season is much longer than the holiday itself, and Christmas fairs are booming from the end of November to the beginning of January. Employers are in desperate need for hard-working, sturdy workers who can stand the cold.

Christmas fair workers are needed not only in Hungary, but in other European countries as well, especially in the United Kingdom. People from all over Europe are welcome to work at the fairs, but a really strong knowledge of English is, of course, an important requirement.

The job description is pretty much the same in Hungary as it is in the UK, but the pay, to no one’s surprise, is extremely different.

Pénzcentrum inquired about a job opportunity at a potential employer in the UK. The establishment serves chocolate covered fruits at one of the fairs in London. People need to work 6 days a week and cover quite long shifts, as they need to work from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. However, travel and accommodation expenses are covered.
