Elf Cadets Training Midlands 2024
30 November - 22 December 2024
Have you ever wondered how Santa does it? How does he deliver so many gifts in just one night? Well now you can discover the secret!
Become an Elf Cadet and help Santa
Santa is just one man and he relies on his elves to help him make and deliver toys to all the children of the world on Christmas Eve. What most people don’t know is that the RAF helps Santa by training up new elves! This Christmas, train to become one of the RAF’s finest Elf Cadets. Learn how to build and check the toys, load up the sleigh, drop the gifts from the sleigh whilst in flight, and just how do reindeer know how to fly in formation?
Taking place in our fabulous National Cold War Exhibition hangar, get a behind-the-scenes look as the RAF helps Santa prepare for the biggest mission of the year. Suitable for all the family, Elf Cadet Training combines the best of the RAF and a great big dollop of festive fun, all within the warm and dry of our Museum hangars.
The RAF’s Elf team are only in town for two weekends, so book your tickets fast!
