3rd Annual Pub Treasure Hunt

PRESS RELEASE

15 August 2024

For immediate release

St Helens and Districts CAMRA to host 3rd Annual Pub Treasure Hunt and celebrate Liverpool CAMRA’s 50^th Anniversary.

St Helens and Districts CAMRA branch are inviting everyone to their 3rd Annual Pub Treasure Hunt this August Bank Holiday weekend. This year it has added significance as it is also teaming up with Liverpool & District CAMRA to celebrate their 50^th Anniversary. When Liverpool & Districts CAMRA was formed it covered the St Helens area which is why we are keen to help them celebrate.

On Sunday 25 August, St Helens CAMRA are organizing a pub crawl with a difference. Starting at The Cricketers Arms on Peter Street at 12 noon, teams of up to 6 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 you 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. It’s been a great success in previous years with everyone saying how much they enjoyed it, and for some it is the first event of ours they have been along to. We can only do this though if people come and take part.

“This year is extra special as it is also forming part of Liverpool CAMRA’s 50^th Anniversary celebrations. With more pubs closing every day, some in our own town, this is a fun way to help support them and show their importance to their communities. 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 6 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 will be announced and will receive a free pint for their efforts.
