Northallerton Snowman Trail
For the fifth consecutive year, Love Northallerton - Northallerton BID, is hosting the Snowman and Elf Trails. This year more than 200 snowmen will be displayed in windows throughout the town, and your challenge is to find them all!
How to complete the Snowman Trail
You can pick up a trail form at The Golden Lion Hotel on High Street from 1 December. This form will list all the participating businesses you need to visit.
At each location, count how many snowmen there are and note whether they are small, medium, or large. Record your findings on the form and then move on to the next business. Once you have completed the trail, total the number of small, medium, and large snowmen and drop off the form at The Golden Lion Hotel.
How to complete the Elf Trail
The Elf Trail is designed for children under 5 and is included in the same pack/form as the Snowman Trail, which can be collected from reception at The Golden Lion Hotel on High Street. There are 10 elves hiding next to the snowmen, each with a name tag. Write down the names of the elves and submit your form for a chance to win a prize.
When to complete the trails
You can complete the trails from 1 to 31 December.
How to be in with a chance of winning a prize
Complete the trails and submit the correct answers. Prizes will be drawn at the beginning of January. There are four prizes available: two for the Snowman Trail and two for the Elf Trail. Prizes include a special hamper and vouchers to spend at local businesses.
