Maidenhead & Windsor

Kids of all ages should be heading for Maidenhead on Saturday (March 17) to get on the trail of town centre treasure.

The town partnership is celebrating the opening of Sainsbury's new Maidenhead flagship superstore with an exciting free Red Nose Treasure Hunt – a fun way to explore town centre shops and help raise money for Comic Relief at the same time.

There are a host of prizes to be won – all donated by local businesses who are either making donations to Comic Relief or organising a fund-raising activity for Red Nose Day.

The fun event couldn't be easier to enter. Just collect an entry card from the special stand in the new Sainsbury's piazza anytime on Saturday and follow the clues across the town centre.

The treasure trail will take hunters to a variety of local Maidenhead stores and when they have found the answers they simply return their completed cards to the piazza stand. Winners will be announced on March 21.

The treasure hunt has been organised by town manager Steph James who thanked the many local businesses for their generous support.

She said: "We couldn't run town centre events without the backing of Maidenhead shops and businesses. Everyone is really excited about the Sainsbury's opening and the treasure hunt is a fun way of celebrating the event while encouraging people to take a look at the many other excellent shops we have in our town centre.

"And, of course, they can also get their Red Nose Day merchandise from the new Sainsbury's store as they are one of the main partners of 'the Big One' in 2007."

Local Maidenhead businesses supporting the Red Nose Treasure Hunt are: Sainsbury's, Beds are uzzz, Domesco Ltd, Sofa Workshop, The South African Shop, Bovilles Art Shops, Holiday Inn, Coffee Republic, Homebase, Snappy Snaps, Poppies and local website About My Area.
