LEISURE: Tour the town for fun quiz as part of Ilminster Literary Festival

THE Ilminster Literary Festival being held next month will include a fun touring quiz – thanks to the co-operation of local shops.

Clues will be displayed in many of the town's shop windows for the duration of the festival.

Entrants will notice there is a connection between the answer to the clue and the shop itself. For example - in Bonner's the Butchers in Silver Street, the clue is "Sweeney Todd, although a barber, made meat pies - not as delicious as Mr Bonner's though. What was the main grisly ingredient?" 

To answer this you just collect one of the free quiz forms from one of the following shops - Just Things; Airs and Graces; Remains to be Seen; The Bookshop.

Boxes to collect the completed entries will also be in these shops. The closing date is Saturday, June 10, 2017.
The winner and all the results will be announced after the closing date in the local media and in the four shops mentioned above.

Should there be a draw, then the winner will be the first one picked out of a hat to win a smashing hamper of local produce and a surprise book.

A literary festival spokesman said: “The whole family can join in together; young people will know many of the answers. Of course, some will be difficult, but you all have ways and means of finding out!

“Enjoy the Festival, relish the quiz and appreciate your literary heritage!”

The festival runs from Wednesday, May 31, 2017, through to Thursday, June 8, 2017, and there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
