The Entertainer has launched a search for two children from Leeds, who have the chance to win the dream job – testing toys for Santa.
The leading toy shop is looking to recruit two little elves in Leeds who will win the incredible opportunity to play with loads of toys.
The lucky winners will get their hands-on up to 10 of this year’s most sought-after toys during an out of hours, exclusive in-store experience, at The Entertainer's Trinity Leeds store on the morning of Saturday 9 December.
After testing the selection of toys, the lucky winners will be tasked with completing a festive form to provide their expert and valued opinion on each product for Santa, before he delivers thousands of the toys to children across the world on Christmas Eve.
The Entertainer’s mischievous elves will then hand deliver the valuable feedback to the North Pole and as a thank you for their expertise, Father Christmas will send a personal reply to each toy tester.

As well as winning the opportunity to become Santa’s toy tester, the lucky children will also receive a £50 gift card to spend in-store or online and a jam-packed festive goodie bag.
James Martin, manager at The Entertainer’s Trinity Leeds store, commented: “Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of the year, so we’re thrilled to be launching this incredible opportunity for two children from Leeds to become Santa’s very own trusted toy testers.
“At The Entertainer, we’re committed to spreading festive cheer and creating special memories, and what’s more special than helping Father Christmas choose the perfect toys for children around the world? We’re really looking forward to seeing the joy and excitement on the faces of the chosen toy testers as they take on this remarkable role.”
If you know someone who would be perfect for the role, you have until Monday 27 November to nominate a young person aged 4 – 10 years old. You can do so here on The Entertainer's website.
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

Step through the original church door and you'll be met by a striking open-plan living space with a fully functioning log burner to keep you warm through the winter months, complete with a beautiful contemporary kitchen which has been renovated to the highest spec.

This architectural conversion has taken five years to complete and there's been no expense spared, the pulpit and pews have even been kept to really keep that churchy vibe.
Here's what the listing says: "Welcome to The Old Methodist Church, originally built in 1846 and beautifully transformed over the past five years into a truly exceptional home.
"This remarkable conversion seamlessly blends contemporary living with the building’s historic charm, creating a residence that is both striking and deeply characterful.

"Every detail has been tastefully and skilfully executed, carefully preserving original features while introducing modern design and comfort. The stained glass windows, original pulpit and pews remain as stunning focal points — a real marvel and a tribute to the building’s heritage."
