Become your best elf at a new university with a Christmas twist bringing the north pole to Norwich.
Your little ones have been chosen by Father Christmas to help him get ready for the big day at the Elf University, which opens its doors from Saturday, November 2 to Sunday, December 1.
The training will take place at intu Chapelfield shopping centre and will equip students with the skills to become a fully qualified elf.
The event returns for its third year and children will meet Tinks, Binks, Dot and Spot, who will guide pupils through each of their departments.
There is a jam-packed programme of festive activities throughout the month for families, which will finish with a graduation ceremony on December 1 when Father Christmas will fly in on his sleigh to hand out the certificates.
