Our Bury St Edmunds to launch spooky town trail

A free family Bury St Edmunds trail with the hocus-focus on fun rather than fright is being launched on Friday.

Our Bury St Edmunds and LoyalFree app has created an augmented reality trail, which will run until October 31.

Mike Kirkham, Our Bury St Edmunds marketing officer, said: "This is pumpkin completely different to some of our other trails that have always been enjoyed by hundreds of families."

Using the app, people will follow the story of forgetful witch Wanda and help find her missing cat Wicca as well as potion ingredients by scanning QR codes at different locations.

Information on the trail, can be found at www.ourburystedmunds.com

People who finish the trail will be put into a prize draw with a chance to win one of three £75 Our Bury St Edmunds gift cards.

Participants can also share their frightening photos on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter and use the hashtag #LFHALLOWEENHUNT for a chance to be entered into an additional national competition to win a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds Live Wireless Earphones.
