Description

Gedling Elf Trails have arrived for the festive season! 

The Elf Trails offer families a fun and engaging way to explore local shops over the Christmas period. Children can enter a colouring competition to be in with a chance of winning one of four themed kids parties, worth up to £210 each.

Aimed at families with children aged 5 to 12, the Elf Trails are designed to get families enjoying their local town centres. There are four Gedling Elf Trails to choose from: Arnold, Netherfield, Carlton Hill and Mapperley.

Pick up a trail sheet from one of the pick up/drop off points listed below, then head off to spot the mischievous elves in windows along participating high streets. Write the elves names on the trail sheet and return your sheet to a drop off point to receive a free pack of crayons and a colouring competition entry form.

To enter the competition, children colour in the picture of the elf and the Christmas tree. You can add your own sparkles and decorate it however you like, then take a photo and email it to: towncentremanager@gedling.gov.uk by 23.59pm on 15th January 2025 to be in with a chance of winning one of four themed kids parties.
