A 'spooktacular' Halloween treasure hunt is set to return to Leamington town centre with prizes valued at over £1,000 to be won.

BID Leamington's annual 'Pumpkin Path' will see participants hunt for clues in the windows of shops, cafes, and restaurants across the town centre between Saturday 24 October and Sunday 1 November 2026, for the chance to win a host of prizes generously donated by Leamington businesses.

This year's family event will feature three trails, with participants tasked with finding an orange pumpkin in each shop window containing a letter clue.

Once the trail is completed, the letters will reveal the location of the 'Giant Pumpkin Stack', where entry forms can be posted.

Alison Shaw, Project Manager at BID Leamington, shared: "The Pumpkin Path is now in its eleventh year and remains a fantastic annual event enjoyed by hundreds of families. It's a wonderful opportunity to get into the Halloween spirit while rediscovering the town centre's businesses or even finding some new favourites.

"The event is always very well supported by our local businesses, and we are thrilled to be offering some incredible prizes valued at over £1,000. We hope everyone has fun taking part in this year's event, gathering the clues to find the location of our Pumpkin Stack post box!"
