Christmas shoppers in Southport can take a selfie of themselves as a Gingerbread Family – and give themselves a chance of winning a £50 Southport Gift Card.
The Gingerbread Family Trail is launched by Southport BID this Saturday (27th November).
From this Saturday, 10 members of the Gingerbread family are waiting for you to find, in shop windows of businesses in Southport town centre. Discover all 10 and you could win an iPad!
In addition to the Trail, people can also enjoy a new photo opportunity competition at Central 12 retail park on Derby Road in Southport.
Take your picture with the Gingerbread Family figures, and then post it on social media with the tag #southportchristmas and be in with a chance of winning a £50 Southport Gift Card.
Southport’s Gingerbread Family Trail starts this Saturday (27th November).
It is one of a large package of festive entertainment people can enjoy in Southport in the run-up to Christmas, thanks to Southport BID, with a Digital Winter Wonderland, a Trail of Trees, Santa’s Grotto, a Frozen Grotto, and lots more besides. Full details are on the Southport BID website here.
The BID is keen for people to enjoy their Christmas shopping in Southport this year, supporting local businesses rather than shopping online or out of town.
From this Saturday, 10 members of the Gingerbread family are waiting for you to find, in shop windows of businesses in Southport town centre.
It’s the perfect excuse for a day out in Southport during the festive season.
This Saturday also sees the first Christmas Makers Market taking place at Wayfarers Arcade on Lord Street in Southport.
Families are invited to either pick up a Gingerbread Map Trail or to follow it online through the Southport BID website, before enjoying discovering all 10 Gingerbread Family characters.
Once you have written down all their names, pop your entries into Santa’s letterbox in Wayfarers Arcade and you could win an iPad!

Southport BID has already made Southport sparkle this year through the completion of the ‘boulevard of light’, with 300,000 lights strung between the trees on both sides of the Lord Street shopping and dining boulevard.
Many places within Southport are also staging some great festive events, including Victoria Park, The Atkinson, Southport Market, Wayfarers Arcade, Bijou Cinema, Marble Place, Ocean Plaza, Central 12 and Southport Little Theatre.
Southport BID CEO Rachel Fitzgerald said: “We are excited to unveil a comprehensive package of festive themed attractions throughout the BID area that will attract shoppers, diners and other visitors to Southport throughout these crucial few weeks in the run-up to Christmas.”
