Staines Story Sleighs

Staines Story Sleighs bring a sleigh-load of festive fun to town this Christmas!  

Simply discover 10 uniquely designed sleighs dotted around the town centre between 21st November 2026 and 6th January 2027, each is inspired by a much-loved festive story. Every sleigh contains a hidden letter, and it’s your mission to find them all and solve the mystery word.

  3. Decipher the mystery word using all the letters you’ve collected.
  4. Share your adventure! Upload a selfie of you and your completed bookmark to Facebook or Instagram using #StainesSleighs to enter our prize draw*.
