The Otter Trail is a new family fun event starting in Blandford Forum this October. You can explore the town in search of Ollie, Molly, Baby Ottis and their friends, who will be hiding in the windows of shops and businesses.
These handmade felt characters and historic buildings of Blandford, including The Fashion Museum and St Peter’s & St Paul’s Church, have all been made by the owner of Cotton Moon, Blandford’s Fabric, Wool and Haberdashery shop, and show the amazing architecture and beauty of this unique Georgian Town.
The first Otter Trail runs through the October half term, from Saturday 20th October to Sunday 4th November 2024. It’s only £1 to enter and all the proceeds will go to Naomi House & Jacksplace, a charity providing hospice care for children and young adults. Entry forms are available from the Information Centre, and also from Cotton Moon at 9 East Street and Forum Cafe at 34 Salisbury Street.
You can follow ‘Ollie’s Travels’ on this Facebook page, where we will also announce the winners, prizes donated by local businesses, and future trails.
