BPS Parent Council Winter Trail Map 2024

Our Winter Trail is here!

We are pleased to announce the return of our popular Broughton Primary Parent Council Winter Trail 2024, in partnership with 14 local businesses, who have been supporting us for the past few years.

Please enjoy this fun activity during the holiday season, with family and friends.  This year, we have also made the map freely available to members of the public to enjoy.  Voluntary donations welcome.

Instructions:

This activity involves children (and their adults) to follow the trail of the map below, solving clue at each of these businesses to reveal the answer!  The clues is displayed on the windows of these businesses (or on the community noticeboard at Tesco).  Individual opening hours apply.  Do say hello and give them your best smiles when you visit these businesses as they have given us tremendous support in spreading joy!
