Firstly we just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took part in Saturday’s Elf Quest. It was a great success.  We had almost 300 Elf Hunters searching for our naughty elves and raising over £1,500 for Demelza Hospice Care for Children in the process which is fantastic. We hope you had lots of fun taking part and a big thank you to our headline sponsor; Go Travel and to all the businesses who got involved; without whom this event would not be possible.

Elf Quest may be over but it’s not finished!

If you missed out on Saturday’s epic Elf Quest never fear…..

Go Travel have kindly offered to continue the trail and will be Elf HQ until just before Christmas. Pop in store to collect your clue sheet for £4 and to collect your prize once you’re finished.

This fun little trail is perfect for any pre-schoolers or for children after school.  It’s a fun activity to get the whole family out at the weekend and exploring what our village has to offer.  All of the businesses involved are part of the Chislehurst Business Group and it’s these businesses who fund our wonderful Christmas Lights, manage the Visit Chislehurst website and more. So please support them if you are dining out, drinking in local pubs or simply doing some Christmas shopping. You can see all these local businesses here; https://www.visitchislehurst.org.uk/your-chislehurst.

Thanks so much for all your support of this event.  Funds will go to Demelza Hospice Care for Children supporting children with terminal conditions and their loved ones, so they can enjoy their time together as a family for as long as they have. To find out more about the work of Demelza, please watch our Christmas Appeal Video.

During December, within the windows of Chislehurst’s finest establishments, you will spy some elves – these cheeky individuals are keeping an eye on the children of Chislehurst, ready to report back to Father Christmas on whether they should be on the naughty or nice list!

There are 20 elves scattered around Chislehurst waiting to be discovered and ticked off your list.

If you spot all twenty elves and return to Elf HQ (at Go Travel’s offices), you can claim your Christmas Teddy!

They are simply gorgeous!

Tickets are just £4 and each child will receive one of the Teddies which can be collected before 4pm on the day.  All profits from this event will be donated to Demelza Hospice Care for Children – your local children’s hospice. Demelza provides specialist care and emotional support for children with terminal conditions and their loved ones, so they can enjoy their time together as a family, for as long as they have.
