Elf School at Eldon Square
Head to Eldon Square on Saturday 23rd November, Sunday 1st December, Saturday 14th December and Sunday 15th December for a fun-filled festive event at the Community Quarter (opposite Chatime).
This one-of-a-kind experience sees children immersed in a Christmas wonderland, as they become a fully-fledged elf for the day! During a delightful 30-minute session, little ones of all ages will be greeted by head elf, Candy Cane, and will then receive their very own elf hat and rosy cheeks face paint. Children will then be invited to enjoy a Christmas sing-along and story time, a hilarious present stacking game, and will make their own reindeer food, before graduating from Elf School with their very own certificate, chocolate lolly and festive colouring-in sheet.
Tickets cost £3 per child and are available to book on Eldon Square’s website, with all funds donated to the Newcastle United Foundation: an independent registered charity using the power of football to connect, motivate and inspire people in the North East region.

Elf Fun Run
On Sunday 1st December, Eldon Square welcomes people of all abilities for a 1km fun run around the shopping centre – with all who enter receiving a quirky elf hat and a medal.
Upon arrival at the Northumberland Street entrance at 9:15am, visitors will enjoy a fun warmup performed by Eldon Square’s very own elves, along with plenty of Christmas music to get into the spirit. Then it’s time to run, jog or walk up St Andrew’s Way and back, making for a nice and steady 1km route!
The fun run is £3 to enter per person, with tickets solely available to purchase on Eldon Square’s website, with all funds donated to the Newcastle United Foundation.
