The Black Cat Quest is a special new cat trail, designed especially for Wizard Fest (24 - 26th May). Pick up a map/leaflet from The Cat Gallery then take a pleasant walk around the area between York Minster and Shambles, spotting our Lucky Black Cats on the way. Here's an example of a brand new design for Wizard Fest.
Each cat will have a collar with alphabet charm around his neck. Note the letter and when you have all 11, rearrange them into a magical word! Come back to The Cat Gallery with your answer and Questers aged 5-12 will receive a magical mini black cat reward!
Don't forget to take a look in The Cat Gallery shop window to catch a first glimpse of our new Wizard Walk of York Magical Cat. He's the new Cat 22 on our Cat Hunt and he needs a name. Circle your favourite from the 10 printed on the Black Cat Quest leaflet, add a responsible grown-up contact details and hand it in at The Cat Gallery. Everyone who picks the chosen name will go into a draw to win a Lucky Black Cat and a family ticket for The Wizard Walk of York (total prize value £72).
Charlie wondered whether he could be a lucky black cat in a shop window!
Charlie won't be there, but we do hope to have plenty of black cats, including all the designs that will be featuring in shop windows on Wizard Fest weekend.
