The FREE self-guided trail, suitable for 3 -11-year-olds, starts and finishes at Hunt’s Bookshop on High Street. The trail will take 1-2 hours to complete and involves visitors following a trail and visiting town centre businesses where they will receive a trick or a treat! Having completed the trail, the children return to Hunt’s to receive their prize! Children are also being encouraged to dress in spooky Halloween costumes, with prizes for the best dressed. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Christopher Hunt, from Hunt’s Bookshop said: “The time of year presents an opportunity to provide a fun book themed trick or treat Halloween activity for all to enjoy, as well as encourage families into the town centre over the half-term holiday. Previous trails we have organised have proved extremely popular, and led to increased footfall, awareness and sales for all those businesses involved. As part of the trail we are encouraging children and families to dress up, so this will provide some spooky fun to the town centre over this period. A special thanks to Rugby First for their help and support in developing the idea and promotion of the trail, and those businesses involved with it.”
Linda Lowne, Rugby First Business and Stakeholder Manager, said: “We are delighted to support this initiative from Hunt’s Bookshop, as it is a fun way to encourage families into the town centre over the half term. We know from experience that many families will not only enjoy the trail but also spend in other town centre businesses as part of the visit. It’s also great to see so many businesses getting involved, and we would like to thank all those taking part.”
Hunt’s Bookshop is a traditional independent bookstore established by Kelvin Hunt and continues to be run by family members. The shop, located at 9 High Street in the town centre: just a stone’s throw away from the prestigious Rugby School, offers a vast range of titles for both children and adults.
