This Christmas, train to become one of the RAF Museum’s finest Elf Cadets. In this Christmas experience like no other, young cadets will take part in four small activities guided by our Elf Cadets to help Santa prepare to deliver gifts all over the world!

Taking place in our fabulous National Cold War Exhibition, experience Christmas like never before and get a behind-the-scenes look as the RAF helps Santa prepare for the biggest mission of the year.
Young aviators who decide to help our elves will take part in four unique challenges, new for 2026…
- Radio Comms – Help our elves practise their communication ready for the busiest night of the year.
- Precision Present Drop – Parachute presents on to a precise location on the map!
- Postal Presents – Join our elves in making sure each present gets to the right person through the different letter boxes.
- Elf-Made Label Station – using festive materials, create the most unique shipping label in the allocated time to safely send presents to all the world’s girls and boys!
All four tasks must be completed so Santa can deliver all his presents in time! Once you are finished all 4 activities, add your Elf-Made label to our collective RAF Museum Elf Cadet’s label to show you have completed your training!
