📜Message In A Bottle - Poetry Trail! 📜
And it’s a ✅
The Message In a Bottle Trail is officially on!
❓So why am I so excited?
Well I’ve been working with a group of incredibly talented writers as part of the Write On! Sessions funded by Creative Stranraer. So we decided to share! And what would be more exciting than leaving our poetry around the town for you lovely people to find, enjoy and gather a new poem. THEN you have a chance at winning a voucher!
❓So how does it work?
There are 11 bottles are the town, all identified on the map. At each location you can pick up a map and start your trail. On the other side of the map is an answer sheet.
➡️ Pick up a map/answer sheet at any location where a bottle is left as part of the trail
➡️Find the word in each poem that is in CAPITAL LETTERS
➡️Write the word in the corresponding bottle trail number line. E.g Bottle 1 is in the Creative Stranraer Hub. The bottle and poem have a number 1 marked on them. So, you add the word to the line 1.Creative Stranraer on the answer sheet.
➡️When you find all the words it will give you a new poem!
➡️Pop your name and number at the bottom the answer sheet and post through the door/hand in to Creative Stranraer for a chance to be in the draw for a £40 VOUCHER!
The trail is free to take part in and some places may add a challenge for you to find the bottle within their premises.
Please remember the small businesses in Stranraer who have offered to be a part of the trail, may have differing opening hours through the week.
A huge thanks to Buzz Clearance for their offer of a voucher for the winner!
📆The trail will be live for 2 weeks!
