Something missing?
In November, Santa took his elves on holiday to visit the amazing village of Storrington.
During their visit, Santa’s elves went shopping in the wonderful shops. To keep track of which shops they had visited they left their magical hats in the shop windows.
Santa needs your help to find all his elves’ hats before Christmas Eve! Search around the village and note the names of all the elves’ hats you find.
Once you have found as many as you can and listed their names on the back of the entry form, add your details on the front page and deliver to Carters Of Storrington, 13-15 West Street, RH20 4DZ before Wednesday 20th December, to be placed into a special prize draw.
