BIDs set to launch golden ticket draw

The Cathedral Quarter and St Peters Quarter Business Improvement Districts are set to launch their annual Golden Ticket Prize Draw, which gives shoppers the chance to win a share of £2,000.

The free draw launches on Monday 11 November and tickets will be available in shops across Derby.

To enter, shoppers need to fill one out and post it in one of the 20 post boxes located in businesses across the two BID areas.

Four lucky entrants will each win £500 of shopping vouchers to spend in businesses in the Cathedral Quarter and St Peters Quarter area.

The initiative was originally set up by the BIDs to encourage more people to shop local and visit their city centre in the run up to Christmas.

Martin Langsdale, chairman of the Cathedral Quarter BID, said: “Christmas is always an extremely busy time in the city and our Golden Ticket Prize Draw really sets the tone for all the wonderful events that are scheduled.”

Helen Wathall MBE, chair of the St Peters Quarter BID, said: “It is amazing how many people enter the Golden Ticket Prize Draw when the prize draw is announced.

“It attracts a huge number of entries, and we are so pleased that shoppers love it so much.”
