Liverpool’s giant game of The Elf on the Shelf has begun, with the city’s brand new Elf, spotted at two locations.
The 15ft Elf, named Mish’Elf, is in Liverpool until Christmas Eve and is spending a few days at different locations through December.
She began the week at The Plaza, in the heart of the Commercial Business District, where there was a special market and songs from the BID Choir. Time for a little culture after that, and she headed up to Hope Street to visit Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre.
Organised by Liverpool Business Improvement District, Mish’Elf has a busy weekend planned, she’ll be at the M&S Bank Arena from 5-7 December. Next week, she moves to Princes Dock on 8-9 December.
This year, people can view The Elf on the Shelf locations on the Liverpool BID website.
In certain locations, she will also be collecting Christmas gifts for children at Alder Hey. You’ll be able to drop off any gifts with a full list of drop-off points on the BID website below.
The Elf on the Shelf is an annual festive tradition originating in a 2005 picture book, written by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell.
Liverpool’s The Elf on the Shelf is the creation of prop and puppet-maker Jenny Simmons, Liverpool BID Company and The Lumistella Company’s official The Elf on the Shelf teams in the UK.
