An immersive story and trail inspired by The Elves and the Shoe Maker performed and presented by The Blanket Fort Club
EXTRA! EXTRA! SHOES MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEAR IN MANSFIELD!
In a shocking turn of events, local shoemaker to the stars, Matty, has discovered that some of his finest shoes have vanished from his workshop. Eyewitnesses report strange noises at night and suspicious tiny footprints leading toward the forest!
“They’ve done this before, the elves, so I’m pretty sure it’s them again,” Matty, 24, of Mansfield, told our reporter. “I suppose they think it’s a joke, but I don’t find it funny at all. If we don’t find the missing shoes by tonight, there’ll be some very famous people walking around in socks at the Winter Snowball!”
Citizens of Mansfield are being asked to come to Four Seasons Shopping Centre on Saturday 6 December at 11.15am, 1pm or 2.15pm to join the search and help solve the mystery. Bring your detective skills and your magnifying glass-the elves may be clever, but together we can catch them in the act!
Will you help Matty recover the shoes before the Winter Snowball begins?
