World Record, Elves, Bridgend attempt

30 November 2010


World Record, Elves, Bridgend, originally uploaded by Tourism Bridgend.
Bridgend is hoping to break the world record for number of elves in one place at one time. The record is currently held by New York but we want to bring it to South Wales. All we need are at least 620 elves to gather in Adare Street on 11th December at 2pm.
To take part you must meet the following elf specification:
• wear a red or green jumper • wear an elf hat - these are provided but you can wear your own
There will also be lots of elf activities including arts and crafts, Christmas baking and the opening of the Bridgend Christmas Market.
Join our 'are you a wElf' facebook campaign for further details or see www.bridgendchristmas.com

Fancy a dirty weekend?

Adventures quadbike, originally uploaded by Tourism Bridgend.

If you've never been quad biking, or climbed an artificial rock face, then it's time to change that, and there's no better place to do it. A wonderfully welcoming team are on hand to teach, train and assist throughout, so you are never just left to fend for yourself. It’s a great idea for groups, corporate team building and school activities  Adventures also offer a number of other activities including, Kayaking, Mountain Walks, Gorge Scrambling and Mountain Biking, www.adventureswales.co.uk
