CHILDREN FIRST DERBY LAUNCH SUMMER HOLIDAY TREASURE HUNT AT DERBION

Children First Derby will be running a Treasure Hunt at the Derbion throughout the summer holidays to raise money for the charity.

Launching on Friday 4th August, the treasure hunt sheets will be available for £2 from the Customer Service Desk in the Derbion Centre.

Children (and adults if they want to!) will be given a treasure hunt sheet with 12 clues to solve to find out which shops and restaurants they need to visit. In the window in each of the 12 locations, there will be a summer themed sticker.  It’s easy to take part, you just write down the symbols you find on the sheet and return it to Customer Service when you are done.

Every child that completes the treasure hunt will receive a small gift, which could be giant lollipop or fidget toy.

Every participant will also be entered into the grand prize draw. With prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place you could be going home with a 3 in 1 tabletop game, a table football game or a cuddly build a bear.

The grand prize draw will take place on the final day of the treasure hunt, which is Friday 1st September at the Children First Derby Summer Fayre.
