A unique Halloween-themed trivia trail launches in Derby’s St Peters Quarter this month – and it’s free to take part.
Unearth ‘spook-tacular’ surprises on a ghoulish interactive Halloween walk around the city that will send shivers down your spin and give you the chance to win some wickedly wonderful prizes.
The St Peters Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) has partnered with money-saving app, LoyalFree, to bring the event to life.
The Halloween Trivia trail, which launches on October 13 and runs until October 31, invites visitors to search out eerie locations and uncover Halloween-themed questions. As you tread cautiously along the Derby trail, scan the QR code on each poster to unlock answers and discover some spooky facts.
Brave souls who conquer the entire trail, which means visiting every location and scanning all of the QR codes, will be entered into a prize draw to win a hamper full of prizes.
Along the way, keep a watchful eye for cryptic hidden anagram letters. Those who manage to find all the letters and unravel the eerie anagram can submit their answers through the LoyalFree app for an additional chance to win even more sweet treats donated by businesses in the BID area.
Gemma Pindard, Project Executive for the St Peters Quarter Business Improvement District (BID), said: “Running these activities is a key part of the BID’s objective to bring an animated and vibrant feel to the BID area.
“Organising free family fun events continues to be an important part of the work we do to promote the area and improve the visitors experience here.
“This Halloween-themed event is completely free to take part, there are prizes, and I imagine lots of people will enjoy this activity and enjoy having a go. We have also created a fun activity sheet for children to take away with them which will be available in each business hosting one of the posters.”
Sophie Carrick, LoyalFree’s Partnership Manager, said: We are thrilled to bring this haunted trail to our partners. Whether you’re a local resident or a daring visitor to St Peters Quarter, we invite you to enjoy this educational yet spooky adventure and discover the ghostly secrets that St Peters Quarter holds.”
