A summer-time trail and treasure hunt, based around a popular children’s book, opens in Ramsey today.

The trail is based around the picture book ’We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’, written by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, and has been organised by the Bridge Book Shop, in Ramsey.

There will be 11 bears hidden in shops found between Lezayre Road and St Paul’s Square.

Beginning today (Thursday) and running throughout August, those wanting to take part in the free treasure hunt can pick up a search list of participating business from Bridge Bookshop, and players then collect a ’We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ card when they spot a little brown bear.

Collecting cards and handing them in at the bookshop will win Bear Hunt stickers and posters and an entry for more prizes, to be drawn at 1.30pm on Saturday, August 31, at Bridge Bookshop.
