Join Chichester BID’s phizz-whizzing trail inspired by Roald Dahl’s The BFG, free to explore throughout the Easter break. 

Complete the puzzle and enter a prize draw to win a £50 CFT Voucher and Roald Dahl goodies.

While The BFG is on stage here at Chichester Festival Theatre, the story spills out into the city with The BFG Family Trail – a playful, family-friendly adventure through Chichester’s shops and cafes. The magic begins over the Easter holidays, when chiddlers are invited to explore the city of Chichester in search of colourful dream jars hiding in eight windows. Each dream jar features a wonderfully splendiferous word - with one letter highlighted. All you need to do is collect the letters from each word and unscramble the letters to create a new gobblefunk-inspired* word to complete the trail. 

Celebrating stories together 

The BFG Family Trail forms part of CFT, Chichester BID and Children’s BookFest’s involvement in Chichester’s Year of Reading: Go All In campaign.

Where to start your adventure 

Pick up a printed trail map from the CFT Box Office, participating city centre businesses, or download and print one at home to use on your adventure here. 

How to crack the code 

Once you’ve completed the trail and noted all the letters, scramble them to make an 8-letter gobblefunk word. 

How to enter

Enter online here, drop your printed trail form into the CFT Box Office or take a photo of your completed paper trail and send to office@chichesterbid.co.uk. Closing date: 11 April 2026 at 5pm. T&Cs Apply. 

What’s up for grabs 

One lucky winner will receive a £50 CFT voucher and a bag of goodies. Plus five runners-up will win a Roald Dahl book, courtesy of Children’s BookFest. 

Best of luck!
