The Twelve Sites of Christmas
Help! the naughty elves have stolen all of Father Christmas' magical snowflakes and scattered them far and wide across the Boroughs Parks and Countryside sites.
We need a team of clever and cunning explorers to help us find them.
Wait!
Do you know anybody who can help us?
You? Well ok then, if you're sure.
Below you will find a series of maps showing where those pesky elves have put each snowflake. Can you find them and unlock the secret codeword at each site and send them to us? Great.
