The Bear and Reindeer and the Christmas tree in Southport

A special Christmas Trail is coming to Southport this December!

To celebrate the arrival of the brand-new character illuminations, people are invited to take part in The Bear and The Reindeer Christmas Trail, which has been created by Southport BID.

Artworks featuring the characters are being displayed in the windows of businesses across Southport town centre.  

Use the clues in each picture to answer the questions listed on the trail maps (see below).

There’s also a bonus question to be answered by visiting the new illuminations in the Town Hall Gardens.

When you have all your answers, fill in your details and hand in your maps at Southport Library in The Atkinson or Crave Pizza.

Alternatively, send your answers in to info@southportbid.com along with your details.

One entry will be picked at random, and the winner will receive a Nintendo Switch with games from GAME Southport.

The Christmas Trail is inspired by a story written by Constance Haywood (aged 9), which was judged as the winner of the The Bear and The Reindeer Story Competition

Constance’s story imagines The Bear and The Reindeer being brought to life by Santa to lend a helping hand in the delivering of Christmas presents.

The Bear and the Reindeer Christmas Trail will be in place from Saturday 2nd December 2023 until Sunday 31st December.  The winner will be announced shortly afterwards.
