Explore Southampton this Christmas with our free family walking trail!

This year, we’ve introduced a brand-new Christmas experience: the Snow Windows Trail! Follow our North Pole and South Pole routes through the city centre to discover 20 windows, each transformed into a unique, beautifully designed snow scene.

Unscramble the clue letters to reveal the festive word and take your completed map to the end locations where children can receive a FREE prize.

This trail is bought to you by GO! Southampton and sponsored by Brackenwood Windows. 

Two separate routes are planned for families to explore which will break up the city into North and South poles. Walk both trails in one day or complete them in two separate outings - the choice is yours!

Start your walk by heading to either W.J. French & Son (North Pole Trail) or IKEA (South Pole Trail). At either location, you will find a snowy scene and clue poster displayed in the window with a letter on it. Make sure you write down the letter on your trail map.

Then, when you have found them all, unscramble the letters to reveal the secret word. Write down your answer and take your completed trail map to one of our end locations to receive your free prize for all your hard work.

Prize collection will take place at MAST Mayflower Studios for the North Pole trail and HMV for the South Pole Trail, whilst supplies last.

You will then have the opportunity to enter our prize draw for a chance to win a £50 gift voucher to M&S. See below for more details.

Completed both trails? Take your map to the Saints Store at St Mary’s Stadium between 9th – 15th December (10am – 4pm) to get 10% off when you spend £30 or more.

Whilst you’re there, be sure to check their Snow Window mural outside the store!
