We found 9 photos in the Hartlepool Mail archives and they show Santa’s helpers having a great time over the years.
They were taken at the Eldon Grove Primary Nativity in 2014, Wintertide on the Headland in 2016, and Middleton Grange Shopping Centre in 2019.
We’ve got elves at Throston Primary School, Blackhall Community Centre and Eden Community school in Peterlee.
So don’t sit on the shelf. Get browsing through our photo selection and then get in touch with your own memories.
