Over 25 Burnham-On-Sea shops take part in regatta week treasure hunt

Over 25 shops and businesses across Burnham-On-Sea will be displaying cryptic clues as part of a special treasure hunt organised by the town's Chamber of Trade to coincide with the town's regatta, which gets underway this weekend.

Each correct clue will feature a nautical validation symbol and the public is invited to see if they can follow the trail and be in with a chance of winning £100 and other runners-up prizes.

Entry forms are available from the chamber's official web page here and from the Tourist Information Centre plus participating businesses. Local schools have also distributed forms to children in years nine and below and Sedgemoor Tourism Association is circulating entry forms to tourists.

Chairman Alex Turco said: "We are delighted to support this year's regatta by organising this event. The Chanber believes that Burnham has a wide range of shops and a large variety of goods on sale. We hope the treasure hunt will attract more people into the town centre during the regatta period. With generous prizes on offer, we hope as many people as possible will enter.
