Free Brilliant Brighton Bricks Trail

The Brilliant Brighton Bricks Trail returns to Brighton city centre from Friday 16 October to Sunday 1 November, running across the Halloween half term school holidays. It's a free trail that asks you to hunt for 25 hidden Minifigures tucked into shop windows across the city centre — you'll find them in the windows of shops, cafés, restaurants and salons, so it's the kind of thing you can do while you're already out and about.

The trail covers a good stretch of the centre: The Lanes, North Laine, East Street and Western Road. As you go, you jot down the names of the figures you find on a trail form. Once you've spotted all 25, you hand the completed form in to enter a prize draw for one of three Brighton gift cards, worth £75, £50 and £25. It's free to take part, and since it's spread across the half term, you can chip away at it over a few days rather than trying to do it all in one go.

Behind the scenes, it's a joint effort between Brilliant Brighton — a collective of more than 500 city centre businesses — and the community group Brighton Bricks. You can pick up your trail form from any of the 25 participating businesses or download it from www.brilliantbrighton.com. When you're finished, there are three places to hand it in: Rieker on Dukes Lane, Socktopus on North Road or Creams on Western Road. Just make sure you get it in before 5pm on Sunday 1 November to be in the draw.
