Follow the clues on the Chesterfield Elf trail

The cheeky elves have left some clues on how to find them at www.chesterfield.gov.uk/chesterfield-elf-trail and want you to spot them around the town centre in this special game.

When you find one of the elves you can scan the ‘Elf QR Code’ which gives you access to some very special and secret Elf webpages, which are hidden on the Destination Chesterfield Christmas website.

On the webpages you will find out more about each elf and you’ll see their special letter. Collect all the letters – spell out the secret elf word – and you will be entered into a competition to win an annual family pass for Matlock Farm Park.

You’ll also find discounts and gift guides for shopping locally to support your high street this Christmas.

This is part of Chesterfield Borough Council’s and Destination Chesterfield’s Christmas in Chesterfield campaign.

The campaign is based on the magical story of the Chesterfield Elves and how they saved Christmas. The first part of the Christmas campaign - The Amazing Magical Santa House – opened last weekend and is now completely sold out. Families are reminded if they can no longer make their slot, they can easily cancel by going to their confirmation email and clicking on cancel. This will ensure other families get the chance to see Santa this Christmas.

The story is the perfect Christmas bedtime story and it is now available to download from www.chesterfield.gov.uk/chesterfield-elf-trail

You can also download The Cheeky Elf Colouring Book which will keep everyone entertained this Christmas.

The elf trail is a contactless experience using mobile phones. When scanning the QR code you don’t need to touch the window just scan it from a distance. Once scanned move away from the window to read about the elf and find the competition clue. Please maintain social distancing if someone else is scanning the QR code of the Elf and wait until they have moved two metres away before scanning.

Full details on everything happening this Christmas, including gift guides and shopping offers for the town’s many unique and independent shops can be found at www.chesterfield.co.uk/christmas
