Can you find the runaway reindeer and get to switch on Thame’s Christmas lights?

CHRISTMAS is fast approaching and to get Thame into the festive spirit, the Town Council will be running a treasure trail around the town centre for the young and young-at-heart throughout the month of November.

In the lead up to THE Christmas Lights Switch-On event on Friday, November 30, several reindeer – 24 in fact – have runaway and are now hiding in shop windows around Cornmarket, Upper High Street, North Street, Butter Market, Swan Walk, Greyhound Walk and High Street. You can start searching high and low from Thursday, November 1. All of the reindeer are numbered to give you a helping hand. You can also use #ChristmasInThame on social media for clues.

The first entry out of the hat with all the correct answers will get the chance to push the plunger on the town’s Christmas lights, plus there are prizes for the runners up. To enter the competition all you need to do is download an entry form from www.thametowncouncil.gov.uk/christmas or pick one up from the Town Hall Information Centre, write down all the shops which have one of our numbered reindeer in their window and return your entry form to the Town Hall by 4pm on Thursday, November 29. Don’t forget to include your name, age, address and contact number.

Good luck and happy hunting!
