HOW’S EVERYONE GETTING ON WITH FINDING THE ESCAPED ELVES? 😃

Have you been out spotting our naughty elves around Broughton Astley this past week? 👀

Don’t forget to pop your completed entry into the box outside Lightbulb Learning Centre by Sunday 29th November at 4pm! 🚲🎁

This is our first ever Elf Escape Trail, brought to you by Broughton Alive ❤️

If you’re wondering who we are, we’re a group of local volunteers who love bringing our village community together through fun events and activities throughout the year 🥰

🎄🧝‍♂️ TODAY'S THE DAY! THE ELVES HAVE ESCAPED! 🎉

The Broughton Astley Elf Escape is officially underway! 👀

Those cheeky little elves have been making themselves at home in shop and business windows around the village, just waiting to be found!

🔎 Grab your entry sheet, get exploring and see if you can crack the secret code! https://www.broughtonalive.co.uk/elf_hunt.html

🚲 THREE BRAND-NEW BIKES TO BE WON! The prize draw is open to children aged 14 and under, but everyone is welcome to join in the fun!

🧝‍♂️ A LITTLE HEADS-UP! A few of our mischievous elves have been a bit slow making their way to their hiding places... so if you've already been out exploring today, don't worry if you haven't spotted them all just yet. You might need another little wander around the village over the next few days as the late arrivals settle in! 😉

🎄 Happy elf hunting, everyone! ❤️

✨ A LITTLE TIP ✨
It's best to go elf hunting during normal opening hours, as some participating shops and establishments have shutters covering their windows when closed.
