Pirate Treasure Trail
As part of the Penarth Chamber of Trade’s mission to promote support of local businesses, the Pirate Treasure Trail is aimed at encouraging people to visit Penarth shops and businesses whilst also helping to promote the Festival. The Pirate Treasure Trail is a competition aimed at families with children between the ages of 5 and 11. Two children will win the chance to be the Pirate King and Pirate Queen in the Summer Parade on Saturday 12 July.

In June, the Penarth Times will publish a full page Treasure Map with a list of clues leading to the treasure. Each participating business will be listed together with a clue. People taking part will need to visit the shop or business or visit their website in order to find the answer to the clue. Parents will be advised to accompany their children when they are looking for the answers to the clues.

The clues should be pirate themed and it will be up to each business to decide how they wish to display the answer to their clue. For example, for a jeweller, the clue could be “What is the Pirate Queen’s favourite gem stone?” The answer might be in the window or on the website or people may have to come inside and either ask a member of staff or look for the answer on a sign or poster. Once people have collected the answers to all of the clues they will submit their entries and two winners will be selected from the correct entries. The winners will be provided with costumes to take part in the parade.
Best Dressed Pirate Window
Businesses with windows (shops and offices) are invited to dress their windows with a pirate theme during the Summer Festival. Businesses that don’t have premises that people can visit but have a website can create a web display if they wish to take part. And businesses are welcome to do both if they have premises and a website. The public will vote for their favourite window and the three businesses that receive the most votes will be the winners.

The Penarth Times has offered to promote the competition and will publish a list of the businesses taking part together with an entry form for people to use to vote for their favourite windows.

The windows/web displays will need to be in place between 5 and 12 July. This will provide people with two weekends and the week in between to cast their votes. The Penarth Times will publish a list of the winners and we are aiming to organise an official presentation of the prizes with pictures so that the winners gain the maximum publicity for their efforts.

Businesses that want to take part need to complete and return this form no later than Friday 6 June. Space on the Treasure Trail is limited and entries will be offered on a first come first served basis. Whilst the Pirate Treasure Trail is open to all Penarth businesses, priority will be given to those businesses who are members of the Penarth Chamber of Trade
