JUBILEE EVENTS!

 

PLATINUM JUBILEE WEEKEND



Running from now... Celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with a free FAMILY STORY TRAIL in Brackley!

Brackley Town Council is excited to join up with High Street Safari and bring Brackley an innovative experience where players visit 7 characters that have come to life from Buckingham Palace!

As you spot each of the 7 characters around Brackley town locations, you can scan unique QR codes to engage with the story and answer questions to choose how it progresses. You’ll also get to learn about a different decade in Her Majesty’s 70 year reign from each character.

The trail is now live and available to play until 12th June! Anyone with a smartphone is able to take part for free.

The trail takes about forty-five minutes to complete but can be completed in more than one visit.

HOW TO PLAY? Using the map on the link, visit story points in the correct order to fully enjoy the story: https://highstreetsafari.com/locations/jubilee-brackley
