The Jellycat 's are STILL on the loose… you've only got until 27 June to find them! 😱👀

They’ve been spotted hiding in Ashford town centre — in shops, cafés, and generally causing adorable chaos. The problem is… they’re a bit lost and need YOUR help to find their way to their right home!

🕵️‍♀️✨ Time for a family adventure!
Grab your little explorers and set off on the Jellycat Amuseables Trail — how many can you track down?

🔍 Here’s the mission:
As part of the Ashford Food and Drink Festival, you can pick up a trail from various venues in the town centre or download the map on our website, follow the trail around the town searching for pictures of seven different amuseables hidden in various local businesses. Match each amuseable to its correct location on your sheet for a chance to win.

🍕Once you’ve completed the trail, simply fill in your contact details and drop your entry form off in the special Jellycat Amuseables Trail box in The Ashford Cinema , located in Elwick Place.

The trail runs until 27th June where one lucky participant will be drawn at random at 5pm on the Elwick Place stage, to win all seven fantastic Jellycat Amuseables and take them home as a prize!

So… what are you waiting for?
Put on your detective hats, follow the trail, and help bring the Jellycats home! 🧩💛
