COMMUNITY events<br />
One small step for man, one giant leap for Paisley! We are promising a<br />
day out of this world in Paisley town centre this summer with our Bricks in<br />
Space Summer Trail!<br />
The town centre will be divided up into different galaxies with special hidden<br />
items which will orbit different businesses within each galaxy on a weekly<br />
basis. Armed with their space passports, travel through the four galaxies<br />
to find all the Space models, plus there will be stickers, activity sheets and<br />
goodies to collect as families make their way around the town.<br />
Alongside our large LEGO® brick models, there will be other Space items<br />
included as part of the trail. Local schools have been joining in the fun…<br />
making space items made out of recycled items!<br />
The schools’ models will also be on display throughout the town during<br />
Bricks in Space! You will be able to collect your Space Passport from shops<br />
throughout Paisley plus both the Piazza Shopping Centre and The Paisley<br />
Centre nearer the time, plus keep checking our website for a sneak preview<br />
of our Trail Map...watch this Space!<br />
Paisley First will also be running the Golden Ticket Competition once again<br />
this summer with a weekly draw offering visitors the chance to win £250 of<br />
Paisley town centre gift vouchers!<br />
Come to Paisley for a great family day out this summer!<br />
