Treasure Hunt
There is a Treasure Hunt on the day with 51 of the Island’s churches taking part.
Each will display a letter or a picture that is A6 in size (a quarter of an A4 piece of paper). It will be visible from outside the church – maybe stuck to the inside of a window or on a notice board.
Note down what you find at each church.
You will see there is a list of all the churches where you should be able to find a symbol.
The symbols will be displayed from Saturday 10 – Sunday 25 September to give you more chance of gathering them all.
Entry forms should be sent to:
The Deanery, Albany Road, Peel IM5 1JS
By Friday 7 October.
There will be a prizes in three categories:
- Entrants under 10,
- Entrants aged 10-17

Where there is a tie, names will be drawn out of a hat for the winners.
The names of winners will be posted on the website above.
