Have you got what it takes to be one of Santa's elves, working in the North Pole as a master wrapper? Find out at this tree-mendously festive workshop at Elstone Studios in December 2024.

Do you have dreams of joining Santa and his merry band of toymakers in the North Pole? Then this extra-special event is for you, as Santa finds out who's got the most elf-confidence this Christmas. 

On Thursday 5 and Friday 6 December 2024, the stunning Elkstone Studios near Cirencester is transforming into Santa's workshop to host Elf bootcamp 101: Have you got what it takes to ‘cut it’ in the North Pole?

In this exclusive elf-run workshop held in the The Elk Tipi, Santa is inviting everyone to join in and have a go at being a real-life North Pole elf, with games and challenges to find out how good you are at wrapping, festive cheering, being sneaky and, most importantly for this time of year, what level of naughty and nice little ones are currently at!

Father Christmas himself, although in high demand this December, will also be making a special appearance, to help select successful candidates to join his 'Winter Representatives Ambition Programme (WRAP)'.

Alongside these very important challenges, children and their grown-ups will get a scrumptious hot chocolate and an Elf Bootcamp certificate, with lots of other activities to take part in such as a Father Christmas letter-writing station, storytime with Santa and more.

Each event lasts for 45 minutes and runs from 3pm to 6.45pm, with the option to choose from four different time slots on either day.

Early bird tickets are available until 11.59pm on Sunday 10 November 2024 for the reduced price of £15 for adults, £12 for under-18s and family tickets for two adults and two children for £45. 

Standard tickets cost £20 for adults, £15 for under-18s and £55 for a family ticket for four people.

Little ones aged under two go free.
