The enormous 15 ft tall The Elf on the Shelf, wearing the iconic red suit and hat with white trim, white collar and mittens, appeared atop several of the city’s buildings. From some of the city’s highest vantage points, The Elf on the Shelf was the perfect early present to kids throughout Bristol, who were be delighted to spot the elf in a larger-than-life game of hide and seek.
With daily clues as to the elf’s exact location shared on the Redcliffe & Temple BID’s social media channels, fans were able to witness some classic Scout Elf fun as the elf unravelled toilet rolls or ate some festive treats. Those lucky enough to glimpse the first sighting of the Scout Elf helper on Friday 1 December had the opportunity to catch Love Bristol gift cards at the first location.
2023 Locations
Isambard Kingdom Brunelf popped up across nine different locations in the city, including the Children's Hospital, Leonardo Hotel, BT Assembly and more.
STEVE BLUFF, HEAD OF REDCLIFFE & TEMPLE BID, SAID:
“What better way to say Merry Christmas to Bristol than with a giant 15 The Elf on the Shelf®! It’s fantastic to support local talent on the national, and now international stage - and we can’t wait to delight workers, residents and visitors this festive season with a big old Christmas CRACKER - all while bringing festive fun to some of our city’s undiscovered areas.”
Bristol’s enormous The Elf on the Shelf® Scout Elf® lands in Bristol in 2023, courtesy of the big man in red’s pals at Redcliffe & Temple BID. Following a city-wide call-out to name the city’s The Elf on the Shelf®, the Bristol’s elf’s name has been revealed as Isambard Kingdom Brunelf, or Brunelf for short.
Isambard Kingdom Brunelf, aptly named after Bristol’s best-known civil engineer, was named by @jesspointon_ on Instagram, who responded to the BID’s call-out on social media. The newly-named 15ft Scout Elf® marks a new feat of engineering to add to the original Brunel’s legacy.
Brunelf once again returned for Christmas 2024, this time also landing in Bristol City Centre BID areas.
