Santa Returns with his Elf School at Eden, High Wycombe and it’s even better than ever!
Throughout December, Eden will be hosting their annual ‘Elf School’, inviting children to enjoy the immersive festive experience and join the ranks of Santa’s special helpers, learning the ropes and graduating as a fully-fledged Elf. Santa’s little helpers can choose their elf name, help make presents, and learn how to walk like an elf! The magical school will be welcoming students right up until Christmas Eve, and as an extra special treat, Santa will be taking time out of his busy schedule to meet and greet all of his new recruits.
Due to the huge success of last year’s event, Santa has implemented an online booking system. Families can pre-book elf school sessions here www.edenshopping.co.uk/elfschool (limited places are available on the day but it is recommended that you pre-book in order to avoid disappointment).
Elf School remains a FREE attraction located by Wenzel’s and open selected days throughout December including Christmas Eve.
And the fun doesn’t stop there. Take a ride on Santa’s sleigh ride outside New Look, an interactive digital game where children use movement to direct a virtual sleigh to Santa’s workshop, avoiding obstacles to gain points. Get to the top of the leader board and you could win prizes.
Little ones can also post a letter to Santa at Kids Corner, near Boots, where you will also find Toys UK, Peek a Boo baby boutique, Warhammer and Sam’s Deli.
Don’t forget, Eden’s Christmas Market is back once again; take a trip to the festive stalls for tasty treats, including the famous Yorkshire Pudding Wrap. You can even step inside our giant snow globe for a festive photo opportunity.
As there’s so much to do, the whole centre is open late ‘til 8pm Monday to Saturday between 17th and 22nd December so you’ll have plenty of time to shop for everything you need this Christmas. If all this gives you an appetite, why not stop off at one of their many eateries for a relaxing bite.
All details are available at www.edenshopping.co.uk where you can also join their free draw for the chance to win a £300 gift card before Christmas.
