About

Santa and his loyal elf-bot Bud-E are returning to W5 this Christmas in an exciting new show! Last year, Bud-E tried to replace the elves with AI robots, leading to an extended holiday for the elves. Now, Santa realises he doesn't have enough elves to make Christmas happen. That's why this year, Santa needs you!

With Bud-E's assistance, Santa has developed a training programme for new Elves, a programme they call Elf Academy. We will need volunteers, children and adults, to take part in a series of entertaining games and activities to see if they have what it takes to complete all the varied roles of Santa's helpers this festive season. If these brave volunteers are successful, everyone in the audience will be made honorary elves and receive their very own elf hat to prove it. But the best news of all is that there will be a present from Santa's sleigh for every child in the audience!

This live-action, family-friendly show features Santa, big-screen animation, robots, challenges, music, dancing, and a healthy sprinkling of Christmas fun!

So, it's time to earn your Elf Hat and wear it proudly! Training begins on 30 November and will run on selected dates until 23 December.

Book your place now and help Santa and his robot friends save Christmas!
