Leeds pub The Adelphi given ‘winter wonderland’ makeover by ‘elves’ in cheeky video

See what the “elves” have been up-to at The Adelphi

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas… at least inside a popular Leeds pub.

Santa Claus is still checking his naughty and nice lists, while his little helpers are hard in the North Pole to work pulling together all the toys in time. However, The Adelphi has already got fully into the festive spirit.

In a cheeky video shared across social media this week, the pub showed how ‘elves’ had turned the Hunslet Road spot into a “winter wonderland”. The holiday cheer is certainly catching on in Leeds as this year’s revamped Christmas market prepares to open very soon.

Captioning the festive clip, The Adelphi’s official account wrote: “Bartenders by night, Christmas decorators… also by night? 🤣🍺

“The Adelphi Elves have been hard at work overnight turning our pub into a winter wonderland! ☃️

“We think they did an incredible job - come and see for yourselves! 🎄

“Bookings are still open for your Christmas Dos, and Christmas Pub visits! Whether it’s food or just drinks 🍷”

In the cheeky footage the “elves” can be seen dropping baubles, climbing on the bar, and making the lights flicker while hammering.
