Step in to the Elf Academy and discover the magic of Christmas. Children will take part in workshops to graduate as one of Santa's Elfs.

The Gannochy Families Group has sprinkled some festive elflakes to create an Elf Academy Event on the magical first weekend of December.

Residents of the Gannoch community are welcome to book in their under 8 children, grandchildren, friends and family. Please choose an arrival time of 12.00 noon, 1.00 pm, or 2.00 pm when booking.

You will be greeted at the door with a check on Santa's "List" to see who has been naughty and who has been nice before being admitted to the Elf Academy.

The Elf Academy will then offer Workshops of fun and creative challenges to help Santa with the last preparations before Christmas.

Santa will be incredibly busy and won't be able to attend, but parents/gaurdians should wrap a gift with a secure name tag to drop off prior to the event so that the Elves can ensure they receive their early gift from Santa. Please keep gifts under the £10 mark.

There will be goody bags, refreshments and festive games. Please look out for food ingredients posters if you have concerns about allergies.

Drop off points in Gannochy for Santa's gifts will be emailed after you have booked.
