St Helens CAMRA to host second 'Pub Treasure Hunt' over bank holiday

St Helens and Districts CAMRA branch are inviting people to join their second Annual Pub Treasure Hunt.

On Sunday, August 27, organisers St Helens CAMRA are hosting the pub crawl "with a difference".

Starting at The Cricketers Arms, on Peter Street, at noon, teams of up to six people who want to take part be given quiz sheets where they will then need to solve clues in specified town centre pubs, while enjoying some of the best real ale in St Helens.

There will be picture clues and riddles, which can only be solved by visiting the pubs on the route.

The pubs participants need to visit will be revealed by solving the first set of clues before leaving The Cricketers Arms.

Ian Pye, St Helens and Districts pubs officer said: “We can’t wait to do the treasure hunt again this year. Our inaugural pub treasure hunt last year was a real success.

"We had 12 teams taking part and everyone said how much they enjoyed it, so we thought we’d do it again. We can only do this though if people come and take part.

"The treasure hunt is a family-friendly event so everyone is welcome, and you don’t have to be a CAMRA member to take part.

“Ideally, we’d like teams to be up to six people and it’s £1 per person to enter. It’s going to be a treasure hunt with a difference so get down to the Cricks and join us for what should be another great afternoon.”

On return to The Cricketers Arms, the winners on the day will be announced and will receive a free pint for their efforts.

Food will also be available for all those taking part.

Last year the 'Treasure Hunt' was won by ‘It’s a marathon not a sprint’, who will be trying to retain their crown this time.
