Giant 15ft elf to take over famous Liverpool locations - here's where and when

Liverpool will once again host a giant game of ‘Elf on the Shelf’ this Christmas.

A giant Elf on the Shelf is taking over Liverpool city centre once again this Christmas.

She will make her first appearance on December 1 and then be moved around to new venues every couple of days until Christmas Eve, December 24.

The huge elf, dressed in festive red and white, will appear at iconic locations across the city, from the Royal Albert Dock and Hope Street to Castle Street.

Differing from last year’s surprise appearances, her locations are being revealed in advance and each spot will feature free family fun including entertainment, performances and giveaways.

Katie Bentley, Liverpool BID Company’s Director of Strategic Partnerships and Communications, said: “We loved how welcome Liverpool made The Elf on the Shelf last Christmas.

“This Christmas, we want to make it a little more theatrical and give people a greater chance to grab their Elfies and send those last few letters to Santa.”
