Mythical creatures including a unicorn, gryphon, wizard and 4m high fire-breathing dragon are coming to Reading this summer, thanks to the return of The Fantasy Trail Quest.

This free event offers an adventure that takes participants on a fantastical quest with life-sized dragons, castles, wizards and princesses, each made from thousands of toy bricks.

The Fantasy Trail Quest will see 23 models placed around Reading Town Centre between Saturday 27 July and Sunday 18 August, thanks to a collaboration between BRICKLIVE and the Reading Business Improvement District (BID).

“We’re delighted to be working with BRICKLIVE again this summer to bring another exciting trail to Reading town centre,” said Reading BID manager Alexa Volker. “ This year is set to be bigger and better, with more models, more bricks, and more businesses taking part. We’ve partnered with Broad Street Mall and The Oracle Shopping Centre to create an exciting trail through Reading that gives families a fun (and free) reason to visit town this summer.”

Step into a medieval fantasy land as hundreds of thousands of toy bricks bring to life a series of medieval scenes and characters including a castle made from over 5000 bricks, a unicorn weighing 105kg, and a 4m dragon made from 210,000 bricks. Among the characters visitors will find a wizard, a princess, a court jester, a royal knight – as well as a royal selfie throne for those all-important photos.

Visitors will be able to download a trail map from Visit-Reading.com, or collect a copy from one of three pick-up points: The Oracle customer service desk, Broad Street Mall Central Square by the scenic lifts, or Reading Station’s mobile information unit. Those who find the secret word, hidden in letters throughout the trail, will be in with a chance of winning some great prizes provided by town centre businesses.

More information on the trail and precise locations of each medieval fantasy model is available at visit-reading.com/fantasy-trail-quest.
