Elves Behaving Badly in Church

Our mischievous elves are back, and they’re up to no good again! Join Friends of St. Mary’s Mendlesham for our third annual Elves Behaving Badly in Church event this November, as St. Mary’s is taken over by a cheeky group of festive troublemakers. Expect laughter, Christmas sparkle, family fun, and plenty of elf-sized mischief hidden around the church. This much-loved community event is a joyful way to begin the festive season, bringing children, families and friends together in the beautiful setting of St. Mary’s. Whether you’ve joined us before or are discovering the elves for the first time, we’d love to welcome you for another afternoon of festive fun in support of Friends of St. Mary’s Mendlesham. Full details, timings and ticket information will be confirmed soon, but for now, save the date and keep an eye out… the elves are already planning their return!
