298 JULY 19 - Gryffe Advertizer

Next deadline - Friday 19th July
One small step for man, one giant leap for Paisley! We are promising a
day out of this world in Paisley town centre this summer with our Bricks in
Space Summer Trail!
Following on from the success of Jurassic Bricks last summer, we will be
celebrating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing with a space-themed
LEGO® Brick Space adventure!
Running from Saturday 29th June until Tuesday 13th August, there will be
seventeen fantastic LEGO® Brick models spread throughout town centre
businesses as well as an interactive play zone and a selfie zone.
The town centre will be divided up into different galaxies with special
hidden items which will orbit different businesses within each galaxy on a
weekly basis. Armed with their space passports, the mission will be to travel
through the four galaxies to find all the Space models, plus there will be
stickers, activity sheets and goodies to collect as families make their way
around the town.
Alongside our large LEGO® brick models, there will be other Space items
included as part of the trail and our local schools have been joining in the
fun…making space items made out of recycled items!
The schools’ models will also be on display throughout the town during
Bricks in Space! You will be able to collect your Space Passport from shops
throughout Paisley plus both the Piazza Shopping Centre and The Paisley
Centre nearer the time, plus keep checking our website for a sneak preview
of our Trail Map...watch this Space!
Paisley First will also be running the Golden Ticket Competition once again
this summer with a weekly draw offering visitors the chance to win £250 of
Paisley town centre gift vouchers!
Come to Paisley for a great family day out this summer!
