Join us for a super family day out this Christmas by taking part in our free, magical augmented reality (AR) trail.
It's being run by Kilmarnock Business Association with support from our Town Centre Regeneration Team.
Santa has a spot on his sleigh team for one year only and the whole of the animal world can audition for the part. It’s up to you to help Santa choose who gets it!
Christmas safari dates
Running from 11 November 2021, right up until Christmas Eve, the ‘Santa Needs You!’
AR trail is positioned around the town centre with eleven cute Christmas animals to find.
At each venue you'll find clues to solve to take you to the next location.
Sponsorship
Thanks to sponsorship from Kilmarnock Football Club, the 'host' for the trail, who introduces each of the characters, and gives clues to their locations, is none other than Captain Conker, the Club’s very own mascot.
The story
Rudolph has taken the year off and opened his spot on the sleigh team to whole of the animal kingdom.
Captain Conker gives players clues to help them find and meet each of the hopeful characters. It’s then put to a vote to help Santa decide which animal will get to lead his sleigh.
