Derby shoppers could win a share of a whopping £2,000 this Christmas – thanks to the Cathedral Quarter and St Peters Quarter Business Improvement Districts (BIDs).
The free Golden Ticket Prize Draw launches on Monday, November 11th and tickets will be available in shops across Derby.
To enter, shoppers must fill one out and post it in one of the 20 post boxes located in businesses across the two BID areas. Four lucky entrants will each win £500 of shopping vouchers to spend in businesses in the Cathedral Quarter and St Peters Quarter area.
It is the 4th consecutive year that the Cathedral Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) and the St Peters Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) have launched their Golden Ticket Prize Draw.
Last year more than 5000 people took part. In Derby shops, entry tickets will also be inside the Derby City Council Festive Derby Guide, distributed to households in early November. The guide showcases everything happening in Derby during the run-up to Christmas. The deadline for Golden Ticket Prize Draw entries is Saturday, December 21st, and the draw will take place during the week commencing Monday, January 6th.
Four winners will be chosen at random, and entries are limited to one per person. The locations of the postboxes are listed on the back of the tickets or can be found by visiting www.derbycathedralquarter.co.uk and www.stpetersquarter.co.uk.
Brad Worley, Manager for both the Cathedral Quarter and St Peters Quarter BIDs, said:
“Last year, thousands of people participated in the Golden Ticket Prize Draw because we were giving away £2,000. “It is wonderful that four winners receive £500 in shops across Derby. You just have to pick up a golden ticket, fill it in and post it in one of our special post boxes – it is as simple as that.”
The initiative was set up by the BIDs to encourage more people to shop locally and visit their city centre during the Christmas run-up.
Martin Langsdale, long-standing chairman of Derby Cathedral Quarter Business Improvement District (BID), said:
“Christmas is always a hectic time in the city and our Golden Ticket Prize Draw really sets the tone for all the wonderful events that are scheduled. We know from past years just how many people enter this prize draw and that’s because shoppers can win a share of £2,000.”
Helen Wathall MBE, chair of St Peters Quarter Business Improvement District (BID), said: “It is amazing how many people enter the Golden Ticket Prize Draw when the prize draw is announced. It attracts many entries, and we are so pleased that shoppers love it so much.”
