Liverpool’s Elf on the Shelf brings Christmas cheer to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital

Liverpool’s very own Elf on the Shelf, affectionately named “R’Elf,” made a special visit to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital to deliver presents and spread festive joy.

Liverpool’s Elf on The Shelf spent the day at the hospital, bringing cheer to staff, patients, and visitors with an opportunity to snap their own selfies with the mischievous festive figure.

The visit was organised by Liverpool BID Company, who have brought the globally loved Elf on the Shelf experience to Liverpool this Christmas.

While R’Elf spends most of the month hiding in surprise locations across the city centre, this stop at Alder Hey marks the Scout Elf’s only appearance outside of the city centre.

Billy Addy, CEO Liverpool BID Company, said:

“We wanted to bring The Elf on the Shelf to Liverpool to bring a little joy to the city streets at Christmastime, but we didn’t see any reason why we couldn’t extend it to those who can’t make it into the city centre. The Scout Elf will be spending the day at Alder Hey, bringing his own unique brand of festive fun.”

From 1 – 24 December, R’Elf will be hidden in various locations around Liverpool city centre, moving under the cover of darkness to a new spot each night. On Saturday mornings, the Scout Elf will settle into a fresh location for the weekend before sneaking off to a new hiding place by Monday morning.

R’Elf is the result of a collaborative effort between Jenny Simmons, a talented local prop and puppet-maker, Liverpool BID Company, and The Lumistella Company’s official Elf on the Shelf team, alongside Rocket Licensing.

While Liverpool takes pride in hosting its very own Elf on the Shelf experience, the festive fun is also happening simultaneously in Bristol and Croydon.

This festive season, keep an eye out for R’Elf’s playful antics across Liverpool city centre and join the excitement by finding the Scout Elf in its new hiding spots.
