The Mischievous Ocean Elves Trail

About us

The mischievous Christmas ocean elves have made their way into the shops and cafes across Plymouth’s waterfront... What could they be doing?!

Try to spot the elves in amongst the fabulous festive window displays or hiding inside causing chaos! Track them down by using our helpful list of locations, or pick up a trail leaflet from the Tourist Information Centre on the Barbican, (open Mon to Sat), and have a Christmas adventure in Plymouth!

You will find some sweetie treats in each of the elf locations. Happy searching!

The trail is available until Tuesday 3 January 2023, we hope this fun free trail will help families to get out and about over Christmas and explore our wonderful waterfront. It's a great opportunity to check out the wonderful shops, galleries and eateries along the way. 

If you take a photo of your favourite ocean elf window display, please tag us in on #ChristmasInPlymouth
