Two Elf Cadets doing the Load the Sleigh activity

About

Ever wondered how Santa manages to deliver gifts across the globe in just one night? The secret is out – he enlists the help of the RAF!

This festive season, children can train to become one of the RAF’s elite Elf Cadets at The National Cold War Exhibition. With hands-on activities and plenty of seasonal cheer, families will experience Christmas like never before.

Young recruits will take part in four exciting missions:

  • A Present Drop
  • The Loadmaster Challenge
  • Festive Formation Flying
  • Pick-a-Plane Challenge

Each task must be completed to ensure Santa’s sleigh is ready for its global journey.

Spaces are limited and the RAF’s Elf team won’t be in town for long – book early to avoid disappointment!

Guide Prices

Tickets are £6.50 per child. Adults do not require a ticket but must remain with their child throughout the session.
