Carden Elf Trail

Ho, ho, ho! A magical adventure awaits you at Carden Park this December.

Santa’s Elves have made little hiding places throughout the hotel to relax after a busy year of present making, wrapping and sleigh maintenance.

On each of the elf doors you’ll find a letter… spell out the word and tell our reception team to claim your special reward from Santa!
