A museum is inviting people to find cheeky Christmas elves hiding among its exhibits.

The "Elf on a Parcel Shelf" event will take place at Haynes Motor Museum from Sunday, December 1, to Sunday, January 5.

Visitors are invited to spot the elves among the museum's displays, including the iconic Red Room, known for its large collection of red sports cars.

The elves are "ready to surprise and delight visitors of all ages with their antics."

The museum is asking for visitors' help to ensure parcels stolen by the mischievous visitors are returned to the correct country.

A spokesperson for the museum said: "Solve the trail to uncover their holiday mischief and enjoy an extra dose of Christmas joy."
