This Halloween, Bedminster BID is launching a haunted Halloween trail around Bedminster this October for children and adults alike to get monster-hunting throughout the spooky season.
Families can get ghoul-hunting from Saturday 15th October by picking up a Halloween map and their first sticker from one of the 20 participating businesses in the local area, which lays out a trail throughout Bedminster for them to follow.
Get ready to scout out the mini-monsters lurking in shop windows, and if they dare to enter, collect a sticker from each business to complete their haunted Halloween map.
‘Halloween stickers can be found hiding in shop windows around Bedminster - if you dare to enter, collect a sticker from them to help complete your map!’
Once participants have completed their map with all its 20 stickers, they can share their best snaps of them with it on social media, tagging the Bedminster BID channels, to be in with a chance of winning a £100 prize!
With Halloween on the horizon, and the Christmas season fast approaching, Bedminster’s best-loved businesses are gearing up for a busy festive season, meaning a whole host of brand new gift ideas lining the shelves and tempting local visitors.
The Haunted Halloween Map also gives families the chance to get out and explore the great outdoors in their local area this upcoming half term. With the trail spanning 20 shops along Bedminster Parade, East Street, Cannon Street and North Street, families can expect a whole day of Halloween fun while on their wild ghoul-hunt.
‘This year’s Haunted Halloween Trail will see a whole new bunch of monsters hiding out in Bedminster’s shops for adults and children alike to hunt down and collect.’
The local businesses taking part in this year’s Halloween Trail include leading arts and craft hotspots such as Farahway Cafe, No Frills Knitting and Trylla, as well as independent food suppliers such as Five Acre Farm Shop, Southville Deli and Occasion Cakes.
The Halloween Trail is also highlighting older businesses that are iconic to Bedminster’s shopping scene, such as Lion Stores, and new businesses to the area, including North Street Cheese Company, who opened for business earlier this year on 5th September.
Local businesses on East Street will also be participating in the trail, from vegan junk-food restaurant Vx Bristol, to East Street Emporium, which is the home of over 60 independent creative businesses, and second-hand, independent vintage shop Revival Market.
