AD - This is a collaborative post.
August is an expensive time of year, the kids are off school and want to be out and about, spending money, here there and everywhere. To try and cut down on costs I like to look out for free days out and activities and I know many other parents do too.
The World’s first Paw Patrol brick trail is a free activity, brought and presented to you by BRICKLIVE in different venues around Blackburn town centre. I think it's a great idea for all the family. Young children will enjoy finding their favourite Paw Patrol characters, whereas older kids will like being in charge of the search and deciphering the clues.
There are three trail maps to choose from; A Paw Patrol quiz and map of the locations, a brick trail map quiz, and a pamphlet of riddles to help find the six mischievous kittens hidden in Blackburn Market. You could tackle them all on the same day, or spread them out over the week and take your time.
The pup models range in sizes from 75cm to 120cm high and the trail also features the Paw Patrol Lookout Tower which stands at 2m tall. There are lots of other Paw Patrol characters to find but I won't spoil the surprise for you. Each of the 21 models has a fun facts sheet and if you scan the QR codes you’ll be in for an extra treat.
Collect trail maps and quizzes from the Ask Me Point in the Mall and in various shops and locations in the town centre. Once finished, return the completed forms to the Ask me Point for your chance to win £100 in high street vouchers.
Bring the family to Brickburn town centre between Friday 23rd of August and 1 st of September to take part. We visited today and had a fantastic time. It probably took us around two hours to complete as there was lots of walking involved, it was great! Visit Blackburn BID for more information.
