Gemma Parker, 36, and her team will be dressing up as ‘Elfy the elf’ to spread some festive joy to people in the area.

The Wickhurst Green resident said she usually runs Elfy events on December 1 and Christmas Eve but hopes to extend this as fewer Christmas parties are expected to run this year.

She said the elf will usually speak to parents before hand to learn about their children before visiting to sing and play games.

She added: “We get a bit of information from the family.”

Elfy shares a message from Father Christmas before telling an interactive festive tale.

Gemma said: “The children become part of hte stroy. We have a dance and a sing song then children blow their wish into a snow globe.

“It’s amazing. We all love doing thiese gigs every year because it’s so personal. The family have often made an effort. They’re often dressed up in their Christmas clothes.”

Elfy’s visits are aimed at children from three to eight but Gemma said other ages often join in the fun.
