Looking to find your'elf in Thimbleby!
Snowy weather and freezing temperatures didn’t deter scavengers searching for elf clues across a Horncastle-area village.
Thimbleby saw an elf scavenger hunt take place on Saturday (December 2) throughout the village to help Father Christmas find the various items misplaced from his sleigh during turbulence, raising money for the village’s hall.
To warm up, the hall served plenty of hot drinks, mulled wine, and refreshments served by volunteers.
The weather saw snow falling down overnight, but organiser Dominic Hinkins said there was still an excellent turn-out and the children who took part had a good time finding the various items wrapped up around the village:
“It was a lovely community day – it was great that so many homes in the village put in so much effort on their individual displays!
"Even the horses in their paddock got involved with their special Christmas jumpers,” he said.
There are already plans in place to make the event an annual one.
