Playful Elves Workshop

Saturday 28th November, 11am to 1pm

£15 per child

Some excited elves have fallen behind with their work schedule and need your help to get back on track!

Help the elves search the 1620s House for the materials needed to make some magical festive gifts – and take part in their games and activities whilst you do – then head to the barn to complete a range of Christmas crafts.

The elves will then tell you a Christmas Story before you take part in a magical snowball fight!

£15 per child, pre-booking essential. Book your tickets here

Suitable for ages 3-9

We try to make every event as accessible and inclusive as possible. If you would like to discuss the accessibility of this event, please contact us on 01455290429 or email us at 1620shouse@leics.gov.uk
