Elf School

Sorry you are too late, this event has been and gone!

This November, Elf School is coming to The Centre, Livingston – a magical (and slightly mischievous) experience where kids become honorary elves-in-training, with help from Santa’s own helpers.

About Elf School

Listed Under Christmas Events / Family and Kids Events / Arts and Crafts Events

Each day is packed with festive fun, from decorating wooden tree ornaments and making wreath kits, to mixing magical reindeer food, colouring in festive scenes – and even earning an official Elf School Certificate.

So grab your elf hat (or borrow ours), round up the whole family, and jingle your way into our merry little classroom.

See you there!

All Elf School activities are free with donations optional for our Charity Partner, Children’s Hospices Across Scotland, (CHAS).
