“The Elves’ Big Christmas Mission” Christmas is fast approaching, and Santa’s elves are hard at work making sure everything is ready for the big day. But this year, they’ve been given a special mission by Santa himself—to spread festive cheer at Newton Abbot Racecourse’s Christmas Fayre!
The elves have scattered themselves all around the fayre, each taking on a fun and festive task. Whether they’re wrapping presents, checking Santa’s naughty or nice list, or making Christmas goodies, they’re hidden in different spots, and it’s your job to find them!
Santa needs the help of all the children at the fayre to discover where the elves are hiding and what they’re doing. You’ll need to keep your eyes peeled, note down what you find on your competition sheet, and when you’re finished, drop it into Santa’s special postbox in the racecourse office.
One lucky family (2 adults, 2 children) will be chosen to receive a magical ‘Breakfast with Santa’ at Dartmoor Zoo! The prize includes a festive morning with a delicious breakfast, Christmassy crafts with the elves, and a special gift from Santa himself. You’ll even have the chance to enjoy a day out at Dartmoor Zoo with full admission included!
Can you complete the elves’ mission and win this magical experience with Santa?
