‘Secret Seekers’ who have completed one or more of the free Horsham District Mystery Trails are being invited to enter a second fantastic prize draw where one lucky winner will receive a ‘hamper’ of locally sourced vouchers worth £100, just in time for Spring.
Families, young people and adults have been engaging with the Horsham District Mystery Trails since they launched in Spring 2022, finding clues and solving puzzles across Billingshurst, Henfield, Horsham, Pulborough, Southwater, Steyning and Storrington.
Following the success of the pre-Christmas prize draw and launch of the botanic themed side quests, the trails’ protagonist Answare has collaborated with local businesses to introduce a second exciting prize draw.
The randomly selected winner for the Christmas hamper was Hazel from Henfield, who has completed six of the trails and is looking forward to doing the final one soon. Hazel commented:
The Council’s Mystery Trails have led me to places I would never have known existed, even in towns I thought I knew! They are great fun and I'm looking forward to completing the last one in Billingshurst by the end of March. I do hope we have more in the future. I was thrilled and surprised to discover I had won the voucher hamper; I'm looking forward to spending the vouchers in 2023.
Commenting on the trails, Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for Economic Development Cllr Richard Lander you said:
I am really pleased that our Mystery Trails have proved so popular with residents and visitors alike.
They are really helping to get people out and about throughout our District whilst spreading the Council’s message to ‘buy local’ whenever you can to support local suppliers and businesses.
They are a great free outdoor activity for all to enjoy and I would urge as many of you as possible to take part in the new Spring trails for your chance to win some vouchers.
The deadline for entries for this second voucher hamper prize draw is 31 March 2023, just in time for the Easter break. For a chance to win, all you need to do is complete a short online survey through the QR code and link in the window of the participating town libraries or on the Whistlestop Arts website. We value your feedback on the Mystery Trails but, to avoid duplication of visitor data, participants who completed the pre-Christmas survey are unable to take part in this one. Please do continue to enjoy the Trails and the Big Sow & Grow Side Quest.
Whilst completing the trails, ‘Secret Seekers’ can explore and spend time in some of Horsham District’s wonderful local towns and businesses, discovering places old and new. The prize draw survey will help gain valuable feedback from participants on their experience of the trails and impact on the local economy.
To take part in the trails, pick up a quest pack from the town library. Alternative pick-up points and a link to download the trail sheets can be found on the Whistlestop Arts website.
Horsham District Council and Whistlestop Arts wish everyone the best of luck in this pre-Easter prize draw.
