A free Easter trail for families launched in Old Town, Swindon, for the first time, Swindon24 reported on 29 March 2026. The Old Town Easter Quiz Trail ran during the Easter school holidays.

The trail was self-guided. Families picked up a quiz sheet from any of the nine venues taking part, answered the question on display at each stop and handed in the completed sheet to enter a draw for a family prize.

It could be done in one outing or spread over several days. Organisers said it was meant to encourage families to explore the area and to support local firms over the Easter break.

Which venues took part?

  • Hilliars Funeral Company
  • Willobys Furniture
  • Gustoso
  • Angel Wilkins
  • Leightons Opticians
  • Chappells Estate Agents
  • Minuteman Press
  • The Clifton Pub
  • Deacons Jewellery

Full details were published online, the report said. It also mentioned the Friends of Old Town Card scheme and a year-round programme of events aimed at bringing more people into the area.

The report did not give the prize, the exact start and end dates or the date of the draw.
