Pumpkin Trail

Delivered by BID Leamington

Bringing families to Leamington during Hallowe’en, our pumpkin trail is now an annual event in our BID Leamington calendar. Over 50 businesses get involved each year, by hosting pumpkin clues in their shop windows and offering prizes to the winners. By following the trail, visitors explore parts of Leamington they may not usually frequent building loyalty and spending time in our lovely town centre.

We receive hundreds of entries from families who have enjoyed the trail from Warwick, Coventry and Rugby with the majority from North and South Leamington.

There are also hundreds of instant prizes of free coffee or cupcakes up for grabs around the town, plus ten per cent off selected full-priced items from participating businesses in January.

Alison Shaw, BID Leamington Project Manager, said: “We are very excited about what is on offer in Leamington this Christmas as we have so much planned to help make our town centre come alive for customers.

“Christmas is a critical time for our town centre businesses so it is important that we all work together and get behind them over the festive period to make sure Leamington is as magical as ever.

“Thanks to the generosity of businesses in the town centre, we have been able to put together this fantastic prize giveaway which we hope will reward customers and encourage more people to do their Christmas shopping locally.”
