SUDBURY'S NAUGHTY ELF TRAIL
LAUNCHES 3RD DECEMBER
The elves have landed at Sudbury Station and word has it they're infiltrating venues all over town and starting to cause their usual festive mischief!
They've written to tell us they're in the middle of plotting their Sudbury Town festive takeover and by early December they'll well and truly have their feet under the table!
Why they chose Sudbury, we don't know. What we do know is that we need your help rounding them all up. So, from 3rd December, download a map or request one - every completed Naughty Elf Trail wins a prize!
