Elf, with Christmas wreath workshop
"I just like to smile, smiling is my favourite!"
Will Ferrell’s Buddy the Elf might well be the cutest, happiest and most Christmassy character there is. Arriving in New York from the North Pole in search of his real father, he brings Christmas spirit, and an inevitable disaster or three, wherever he goes.
To help you really get into the Christmas spirit along with Buddy the Elf, create a Christmas wreath before the film starts. This workshop is suitable for children and adults alike and will be guided by an artist from Newham’s community arts centre Rosetta Arts. All are welcome to get stuck in and you can take your wreath home to show Santa when he arrives on Christmas Eve.
Presented by the Royal Docks in partnership with the Britannia Village Hall.
