The Great Christmas Cracker Hunt
Cracking gifts up for grabs!
100 gift filled Christmas Crackers will be hidden throughout the day at Folkestone Festive Marketplace. Each cracker contains a special gift from one of our amazing independent traders. You’ll be able to hunt from when the Festive Marketplace opens at 11am and, for some after school fun from 4pm!
There are incredible gifts up for grabs, including a sharing platter for 2 at Minutas in Harbourside, a £50 Brewing Brothers Beachside voucher, a £20 voucher for Get Baked and Loaded, one piece of jewellery up to £60 from Helen Sharp Jewellery and much more!
Crackers will only be hidden in easy to access, safe locations and must be redeemed by Christmas Eve.
