About this event
The Elf Academy Relaxed is part of the festive programme at Temple Newsam, which runs from 1 to 24 December 2026. The same elf training as the main Elf Academy, but "designed for families who would benefit from a quieter, reduced capacity, relaxed event".
What to expect:
- Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December 2026, from 10am
- "This experience will be quieter, with less elves in training taking part"
- "Music and sounds will be turned down. A number of ear defenders will be available. Quiet areas are available if you require them."
- "There will be a flexible approach to how your family wants to explore the house and take part in the experience"
- Elf Training Modules with Mrs Christmas: reindeer food, biscuit decorating, a story led by a helper elf
- Meeting Father Christmas, with a photograph opportunity and a graduation gift
- "Elf Academy tickets include General Admission for the child taking part"
- Tell staff about any additional requirements and they will try to help
