We Too! has launched its much-loved Elf School Aberdeen for 2025, transforming a space inside the former Debenhams building at Aberdeen Trinity Centre into a festive mini-North Pole every weekend throughout December.

The 30-minute sessions run every Saturday and Sunday from 10.00am, with the final class on Sunday 19th December and last session each day at 2.30pm. Tickets are £7.50 and available via TicketSource.

Situated inside the former Debenhams unit - now used by We Too! for a range of community projects, Elf School invites children to step into the role of Santa’s newest recruits, learning the essential skills every good elf needs. Each session includes making magical reindeer food, decorating cookies for Santa, hands-on elf training, a festive craft, and a take-home Elf Certificate.

Elf School is open to everyone, welcoming all families to share in the festive fun in a relaxed, cheerful and inclusive environment. 

All funds raised support We Too! to continue delivering inclusive experiences, sensory tools, and peer-led support for families into 2026 and beyond.

Phionna McInnes, chief ninja at We Too!, said: “Elf School is one of our favourite ways to sprinkle joy across Aberdeen at Christmas. It’s fun, it’s silly, it’s creative — and every ticket helps us support families who rely on our inclusive services all year round. We’re thrilled to be bringing it back inside the former Debenhams space, which has become a brilliant home for so many of our community projects.”

Kenny Bruce, centre manager at Trinity Centre Aberdeen, said: “Hosting Elf School at Trinity Centre is a real highlight of our year. It’s a fun, festive experience on the surface – but at its heart, it’s about inclusion, understanding, and support for families who need it most, in the fantastic new home inside We Too!’s service delivery space. We’re honoured to stand alongside We Too! and help create a Christmas tradition that makes a genuine difference across the North-east.”
