Find the elves hidden in Salisbury this Christmas to support the Stars Appeal

Tuesday, 5 December 2023 00:00

Support the Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s Charity, this Christmas by joining a special festive trail to find 12 cheeky elves hiding in Salisbury.

The 12 Elves of Christmas Elf Trail is part of Experience Salisbury’s ‘City of Stars’ and challenges participants to find all the elves in participating shop windows around the city centre.

To get involved, pick up a trail sheet from the Salisbury Information Centre on Fish Row or Five Rivers Leisure Centre.

The trail sheets cost £2 per child. The money raised for the Stars Appeal will support projects across the Hospital, making a difference to patients, their families, and staff.

One of the projects the charity is currently fundraising for is the provision of 20 specialist cots for newborn babies, which cost £1,900 each.

The Elf Trail runs until the end of Saturday, December 23rd. Return completed trail sheets to the Information Centre by December 23rd to be in with a chance of winning a children’s craft hamper worth over £50, which has been donated by The Works in Salisbury.
