Christmas movie Elf will be screened at The Phoenix Theatre and Arts Centre in Bordon on December 21 at 2.30pm.

Buddy was a baby in an orphanage who stowed away in Santa’s sack and ended up at the North Pole.

Later, as an adult human who happened to be raised by elves, Santa allows him to go to New York City to find his father, Walter Hobbs.

Walter, on Santa’s naughty list for being heartless, had no idea Buddy was even born.

Buddy, meanwhile, experiences the delights of New York City and human culture as only an elf can.

When Walter’s relationship with Buddy interferes with his job, he is forced to re-evaluate his priorities.

This classic film is a perfect pre-Christmas treat. For tickets, priced £6 (concessions/members £5), visit www.phoenixarts.co.uk
