The Elf on the Shelf® makes its first appearance in Liverpool

Are you ready for the biggest ever hunt for The Elf on the Shelf® right here in Liverpool?

Liverpool is to become the stage for a giant game with The Elf on the Shelf® this December as a 15ft version of The Elf on the Shelf Scout Elf will appear at locations across the city centre until Christmas Eve.

Organised by Liverpool BID Company, the Scout Elf will be moved at night to various locations around the city centre from 1-24 December. People will be invited to seek out the Scout Elf each morning and snap a selfie as it embarks in some classic festive fun. On a Saturday morning, the Scout Elf will settle in a new spot for the weekend, before setting off to be found in a new place on Monday morning.

The first clue is:

R’ Elf on the Shelf is here today, On the first of December, so come say hey! From St John’s Beacon, there’s no time to pause, He’s on a sight-seeing mission, for Santa Claus!

Daily clues will be found on Liverpool BID Company’s social media channels, but, as with tradition, no hints or announcements will be made before the Scout Elf appears.

Liverpool’s The Elf on the Shelf® (monikered “R’Elf”) will land on buildings across the city, from Old Hall Street to Hope Street and the Waterfront to Lime Street.

Liverpool’s R’Elf is the creation of prop and puppet-maker Jenny Simmons, Liverpool BID Company, The Lumistella Company’s official The Elf on the Shelf team and Rocket Licensing.

At the same time as The Elf on the Shelf takes place in Liverpool, it will also be appearing in Bristol and Croydon.
